Frequently Asked Questions

Does NPR take car donations?

Yes, NPR stations take car donations through this program. You've come to the right place! This is the NPR car donation program started by the folks at one of NPR's most beloved and trusted programs, Car Talk. Listeners simply fill out an online form, schedule a pick up, and the proceeds from the sale of your old car go to your favorite NPR station.

Depending on your situation, you may be able to take a tax deduction for your donation. But most importantly, you'll give a trusty or unwanted vehicle a second life as great NPR reporting, thoughtful NPR interviews, and open-minded NPR explorations of important topics. A car donation is great for you, great for your NPR station.
