You can get a free vehicle without going on a game show.

Need a free used car

Search Housing Grants by typing your county

    Over 2,000 programs and adding every day.

    As long as you can show financial need, the following resources may give you that free car you desire, but may not be able to afford at this time.

    Have you been shopping for a new or used car and can’t believe how expensive they are? That’s because the supply of cars is limited while demand is sky-high. And although car prices may not come down anytime soon, that doesn’t change the fact that you need transportation now.

    Where can you get it without going bankrupt? By applying to the following resources that give away free cars to those who need them most.

    Cars 4 Christmas

    As you can tell by its name, this organization offers free cars to people who’ve been impacted by the following:

    • Natural disaster
    • Tragedy
    • Illness
    • Disability
    • Death in the family

    If any of those apply to your situation, now’s the time to fill out an application with Cars 4 Christmas, as they announce their 20 free car winners around the holidays.

    Is it worth applying to Cars 4 Christmas since they only give away 20 cars each year? Absolutely, as you can get your story out there and receive interest from a private donor that can connect you to similar opportunities.

    Cars 4 Heroes

    While Cars 4 Christmas is open to more general applicants, Cars 4 Heroes focuses on military and first responders in need. When you apply to Cars 4 Heroes, your application stays on file for three years. So if you don’t get picked the first time, don’t fret, as they may select you later on and surprise you with a new vehicle.

    Vehicles For Change

    Virginia and Maryland residents seeking a free vehicle should apply here, as the organization specializes in those specific areas on the map. Vehicles for Change aims to help people looking to go back to work to become financially independent. If that sounds like you, don’t hesitate to apply.

    Good News Garage

    Massachusetts or Vermont residents should give Good News Garage a try, as it offers free cars, trucks, and vans to low-income families in the area. Apply now, and you could be receiving “good news” very soon in the form of a free vehicle.

    Working Cars For Working Families

    One of the best ways to find complimentary cars in your area is to hit Google and search for “free cars” or “free vehicles” plus your state. While that should yield some results, so can going to Working Cars for Working Families.

    The site has a long list of free car resources across the United States. All you have to do is look for your state, then get in touch with whatever resources are listed. Apply to those resources along with all the ones you see here, and you’ll increase the likelihood of getting behind the wheel of a free vehicle soon.

    Free Charity Cars

    Out of all the resources in this list, Free Charity Cars may be your best bet for getting picked as the recipient of a no-cost vehicle. They’ve awarded billions of dollars in free cars over the years, and you may be next in line if you apply.
