Wheels4Hope

Wheels4Hope is a nonprofit organization based in Greensboro, North Carolina, that accepts donated cars, vans, and trucks, and then repairs and refurbishes them to give them a second life. These vehicles are then sold at an affordable price to people who need them for transportation to work, school, medical appointments, and other essential activities. The organization also provides job training opportunities for individuals with automotive skills and offers educational programs for the community on car maintenance and safety. Wheels4Hope is a valuable resource for people in need of transportation and is making a positive impact in the Greensboro community.

Insurance Information

Please note that non-owners insurance is needed for those that need a driver’s license but don’t have a car yet (for example if they want to request a car from Wheels4Hope).

Getting a driver's license in any state requires a motorist to submit certain documents. In North Carolina, there's an extra document that many driver's license applicants must submit: Form DL-123.
