How do I donate my car in Kershaw County? You can donate your car in 4 easy steps: 1. Start your donation online by navigating to our donation wizard, or call our hotline: 1-877-277-4344 2. Our team will ask about your vehicle, including the make, model, vehicle identification number (VIN) and current mileage. 3. When your vehicle is accepted, schedule a day and time for us to pick it up. 4. Receive your tax receipt.

​

What type of vehicle can I donate?

● Car

● Truck

● Boat

● RV

● ATV’s and UTV’s

● Motorcycle

● Construction or farm equipment

● Any other vehicle ― running or not! All submissions are subject to evaluation. Due to donation location and condition, some vehicles may not be accepted.

Can I donate a vehicle that does not run? Absolutely! Your vehicle does not need to be running in order to donate it. But, it does need to have all tires inflated so we can tow it away. All submissions are subject to evaluation. Due to donation location and condition, some vehicles may not be accepted.

What happens to my vehicle after my vehicle donation is accepted? About half of donated vehicles are sold to licensed dealers through wholesale auctions, giving them a second chance as transportation.. The other half goes to auto salvage yards, where usable parts—like batteries, tires, and fluids—are carefully removed. What’s left is crushed, shredded, and recycled into new steel. Donated vehicles are not given or sold to the general public; to protect donors and Habitat affiliates, they are sold only to licensed, bonded and insured wholesale dealers. Funding from the sale of each vehicle donation supports Habitat’s local programs in your community—helping families build strength and stability through affordable housing. After your vehicle is sold, we'll send you a letter with the sale details for your records. How much of a tax write-off do I get for donating my car? When your vehicle is sold, that will determine the value. If your vehicle sells for more than $500, you may be eligible to deduct the full selling price. If your vehicle sells for $500 or less, you can deduct the “fair market value” of your vehicle, up to $500. We recommend that you talk to your tax advisor to determine your personal tax deduction situation.
