How Americus donations work

1. Submit your vehicle through our online form or by calling 770-871-9422. We confirm pickup details usually within one business day.

2. Our local towing partner contacts you to schedule pickup at a time that works for you. The driver brings paperwork; you sign the title over at pickup.

3. Your vehicle goes to a nationwide auction or recycler. After it sells, you receive your IRS Form 1098-C showing the actual sale price — that amount is your federal tax deduction.
