Condition & logistics
Running vs Not Running
Donating a running vehicle can often yield a higher tax deduction compared to a non-running one. However, we accept both, so whether your car starts right up or hasn’t moved in months, we’ve got you covered.
Title Issues
No title? No problem! We handle the legwork for duplicate title applications, ensuring that a missing slip of paper won't stand between you and the benefits of your donation.
Storage & Pickup Logistics
We offer free towing for your donation, regardless of its condition. Whether your car is parked at a local Marina or stuck in your garage, we'll handle the pickup at a time that works for you.
Title transfer & paperwork
In Virginia, if you lack a title for your car, the first step is often applying for a duplicate title through the DMV. This involves filling out specific forms and may require notarization. Don't forget, plates need to be returned to the DMV upon transfer. Our team is familiar with these processes and can guide you through every step, ensuring all necessary paperwork is completed correctly.
Tax deduction for this donation
Generally, the tax deduction for a car donation without a title can range from $500 to the vehicle’s fair market value, depending on its condition and how it's valued after sale. RevUp Richmond provides a 1098-C form to help you accurately claim your deduction, making tax time a bit easier!
