CARS
Donating a car (or more than one) is an excellent way to get rid of old vehicles you don't want. The biggest problem most people face when buying a new vehicle: what to do with the old one. Utah Public Radio has partnered with CARS as part of a vehicle donation program. By donating a car you receive a tax deduction, support UPR and help someone in the community. Visit CARS homepage to find out more information, or go straight to the CARS/UPR donation page to donate your car now. If you prefer to be contacted by phone, please call 877-UPR-7501 or 877-877-7501 and a representative will help you with your donation.
