Frequently Asked Questions

Cars for Tucson donates vehicle repairs, or gifts well-running, refurbished used vehicles to members of the community. 

You can apply by clicking on "Application" at the top of the screen. Please allow 5-7 business days for a response. You may hear from us sooner, but this would be the typical turn around time.

Our ability to provide vehicles depends entirely on donations from the public, which means we cannot predict when, where, or what type of vehicle might become available. Because of this uncertainty, we cannot guarantee that everyone who applies will receive a vehicle. For those who do, the waiting period can be significant. If you are in urgent need of transportation—such as for work or medical reasons—our program may not be able to meet your immediate needs. 

 Cars for Tucson is a group of community-minded individuals who care deeply about Tucson and the people who call it home. As locals ourselves, we understand how vital reliable transportation is to daily life—and how challenging it can be to move forward without it. Our mission is to support our neighbors who are facing tough times, offering a helping hand through donated vehicles or essential repairs. We hope this support can make a meaningful difference and help individuals take positive steps toward stability and success.
