Why Donate Your Car Instead of Selling It?

Selling an old, damaged, or non-running vehicle can be time-consuming and frustrating. But donating it gives that same car a new purpose — to support charities and communities across Alberta.

When you donate a car through RST Roadside Service and Towing, you’re not only helping the environment but also contributing to meaningful causes such as:

  • Children’s welfare programs

  • Veterans’ support

  • Environmental sustainability

  • Local Calgary community services

  • Medical research and humanitarian aid

Your vehicle — no matter its age or condition — can make a lasting difference.


We Accept All Types of Vehicles for Donation

Whether it’s a car, truck, SUV, motorcycle, or van, we’ll gladly accept it for donation. Even if your car no longer runs, we’ll still tow it for free and ensure it’s used to support charitable programs.

We accept:

  • 🚗 Non-running cars

  • 🛻 Accident-damaged vehicles

  • 🚙 Older models or high-mileage cars

  • 🏍️ Motorcycles and scooters

  • 🚐 Commercial or fleet vehicles

  • 🚜 Farm or utility vehicles

If it has wheels — or used to — we can turn it into hope for someone in need.


How Our Car Donation Program Works

We’ve made the donation process simple, fast, and transparent. Here’s how it works:

Step 1: Contact Us

Call RST Roadside Service and Towing at 403-458-6010 or email info@rstcalgary.ca.
Provide basic details about your vehicle — make, model, condition, and location.


Step 2: Choose a Charity

You can choose from our list of registered Canadian charities, or we’ll help match your donation with a charity aligned with your interests (e.g., children, veterans, environment, or local Calgary causes).


Step 3: Schedule Free Pickup

We’ll arrange free towing or pickup at a time that works best for you. Our flexible scheduling ensures a smooth, convenient process — no need to miss work or change your plans.


Step 4: Receive Your Tax Receipt

Once your vehicle is processed and donated, you’ll receive an official tax receipt from the chosen charity. This means your generous contribution can also benefit you during tax season!


Step 5: Make a Lasting Impact

Your donated vehicle will be either:

  • Recycled responsibly (eco-friendly disposal)

  • Auctioned or resold (proceeds go directly to charity)

  • Repurposed for training or mobility programs

Either way, it becomes part of something meaningful — helping real people in need.
