Your Minnesota Car Donation Supports Animal Rescue Charities
Donate your vehicle in Minnesota to benefit rescue animals in need of a second chance. We take almost any vehicle from any location in the state at no cost to you, and you may qualify for a great tax deduction in the process. It's a simple way for men and women across Minnesota to make a real difference.
Here's what you get when you donate your vehicle to Animal Car Donation:
- Since Animal Car Donation is an IRS registered 501(c)(3) charity organization, your vehicle donation may be tax deductible, as long as you itemize. Skip the hassle of trying to sell your vehicle and put it toward something that makes a real difference instead.
- Free towing from anywhere in the state of Minnesota. We accept cars, trucks, boats, RVs, and more in almost any condition. Call us at 1-888-969-4857 or visit our online donation form to schedule your free pickup today.
- Our team can guide you through the paperwork every step of the way, making Animal Car Donation a great place to donate your old vehicle.
- You get to help animals in Minnesota and nationally. When you donate a vehicle, these animals receive food, shelter, proper veterinarian care, and a second chance at adoption.
Our Vehicle Donation Process, Start to Finish
Our vehicle donation program was built around one goal: making it easy to put an unused vehicle to work for animals in need. From the first phone call to the tax receipt in your hands, the whole process is designed to take very little of your time.
Once you're ready, a member of our team will confirm a few basic details, your name, the vehicle's location, and a good number to reach you at, before scheduling your pickup. We'll send a donation receipt once everything is complete, and your tax receipt follows shortly after.

What Is Animal Car Donation Program?
The Animal Car Donation program supports rescue animal programs in Minnesota and the U.S. These animal programs benefit animals through safe shelter, food, proper veterinary care, and adoption for animals in need of rescue.
Your old vehicle benefits animals that have seen hard times and are in need of care and support. Here are some of the charities Animal Car Donation benefits:
As a donor, you're also joining a wider community of people who choose vehicle donation as a way to give back. It doesn't take much effort on your part to see real results for animals across the country.
The Tax Benefits of Your Minnesota Vehicle Donation
You can claim your tax deduction only if you itemize deductions on your return. We can't give tax advice, so talk to your own tax advisor about your specific situation.
You never need an appraisal to donate. We send your tax receipt within 30 days of your vehicle's sale, regardless of your vehicle's market value going in.
Your deduction counts for the year you donate, even if your vehicle sells the following year, which makes late December a great time to donate if you're thinking ahead to your return. Your tax advisor or the IRS can answer any questions specific to your situation, as the general rule is that only they can advise on your individual return.
Title Transfer, Liens, and Paperwork
Our team can help with the title transfer for your donation. Bring your title, and let us know if there's a lien on the vehicle, a lien release may be needed before ownership can transfer on our behalf.
If you've lost your title or have questions about the process, a representative can walk you through the details and make a copy of anything you need for your records. This applies whether you're donating on your own behalf or on behalf of someone else in your household.
