Your diesel is no longer allowed into the low-emission zone. Or your petrol car is too old and the trade-in value disappoints. What is the end of a car's life here is the beginning of something very useful in Ukraine.
Ukraine has no low-emission zones. Anything that drives gets used: to deliver food, to evacuate people, to get someone to a hospital. A car written off here runs over poor roads to villages that no longer have any public transport.
We have driven more than 250 of them over ourselves. Always fully loaded with relief supplies, because taking an empty car east is a waste of space.
What kind of cars we can use
An estate, a saloon, a van or small van, a 4WD. Exactly the vehicles that fetch little on trade-in or are no longer allowed into the low-emission zone.
Two things are needed:
- a valid MOT
- reasonably sound mechanically
It is nearly 2,000 kilometres to eastern Ukraine. There is no dealer along the way to check something over, and the car has to keep running during an evacuation or a trip to a hospital. Reliability helps more than luxury.
What you get in return
Aid to Ukraine is a registered Dutch charity (ANBI). You donate the car at market value, and within the tax rules that amount is deductible. The RSIN number for your tax return is 866916556.
We handle the transfer of ownership and the release of liability. And we drive the car to Ukraine ourselves.
How it works

- We arrange to collect it or for you to bring it
