Reno pickup areas

Free pickup in Midtown, Old Southwest, Caughlin Ranch, Somersett, Sparks, plus surrounding Nevada towns. Pickup is coordinated through our nationwide towing partner network — typical timeline for Reno is 7-14 business days from the day you submit your title information.

How Reno 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.

What we accept in Reno

Cars, trucks, SUVs, motorcycles, RVs, boats, jet skis, ATVs, trailers — running or not. We accept vehicles with mechanical problems, body damage, flood damage, missing titles (in some states), and old work vehicles.

Tax deduction for Reno donors

Cars Helping Kids is a program of Fainting Goat Foundation, a Georgia 501(c)(3) charity (EIN 99-0472123). Your federal tax deduction equals the actual sale price of the vehicle at auction. If the vehicle sells for $500 or less, you can claim up to $500 without additional documentation. Above $500, your deduction is the documented sale price.
