Vehicle Donations

Avant maintains a fleet of vehicles for missionaries to use while on home assignment. Most of our missionaries have sold their cars before leaving for the field and no longer carry U.S. driver’s insurance, which prevents them from renting or driving a vehicle without purchasing short-term coverage. Yet having reliable transportation during these times is essential for our missionaries.

You can partner with us by donating a well-maintained vehicle or by giving toward the purchase of quality used vehicles. A vehicle you no longer need might help provide reliable transportation for missionaries while they carry out their home ministry assignments.

If you'd like to explore donating a vehicle, please complete our Vehicle Donation Form.
