Donate your car to save jobs!

GiveYourCar.org transforms generosity into a mobility engine. A simple device to help those who can no longer afford to travel.
Roole, the largest car club in France with 1.5 million members and committed for years to more inclusive mobility, celebrates today the third anniversary of GiveYourCar.org, its solidarity initiative created with the Solidarauto garage network. This initiative, launched in 2022, aims to give a second life to unused cars by transforming them into tools for integration for the most vulnerable populations. And the results speak for themselves: 3,000 donation proposals in three years and a national network of 33 certified solidarity garages.
The principle is intentionally accessible: a donor — individual or business — declares their vehicle online. It is then entrusted to a solidarity garage that rehabilitates it before renting or selling it at a very reduced price, upon recommendation from social actors. This seemingly simple gesture addresses a much heavier reality: while millions of cars remain unused, over 15 million people struggle to move around daily, especially in rural and suburban areas where the lack of a car often leads to isolation.
Knowing How to Be Useful
GiveYourCar.org allows breaking this cycle: it restores autonomy to those who lack it while offering a significant tax advantage (66% for individuals, 60% for businesses). Businesses are increasingly playing a role in the initiative, especially when renewing their fleets: their still-functional vehicles can become real levers for social integration in areas where mobility solutions are limited.
This approach is fully aligned with Roole’s mission, a purpose-driven company committed to access to cars, driving licenses, and solidarity mobility. The club already supports motorists daily through theft protection services, complementary guarantees, and practical tools dedicated to automotive life.
