Dealing with a physical disability, mobility impairment, or chronic illness is tough enough without the added stress of managing a vehicle sale. While some may consider selling their car, the process often entails hosting strangers, negotiating prices, and completing complex paperwork, which can be incredibly daunting. At Wheel Give Back, we understand your challenges and want to offer you a viable alternative.
Donating your car provides a streamlined, straightforward solution. Instead of worrying about listings and showings, you can fill out a simple online form, and we will handle the rest, including pickup from your home. Our goal is to ensure that the donation process is as easy and accommodating as possible for you.

Honest about limitations
While donating your vehicle is a hassle-free alternative to selling, it's important to note that not all donors will benefit equally. For example, if you are currently unemployed or have no tax liability, you may not gain any tax deductions from your donation. Additionally, some vehicles may not qualify for a high resale value under IRS guidelines, potentially impacting the deduction received. Be sure to consult with a tax professional if you have questions about your specific situation.
