Condition & logistics
Running vs. Not Running
Whether your truck is still cruising the streets or has been sidelined for a while, we accept both running and non-running vehicles. Don’t stress about its condition—we’re here to help!
Title Issues
If your truck has title issues, don’t worry. Our team is experienced in handling those complexities, ensuring the donation process remains seamless, even when complications arise.
Storage and Pickup Logistics
We understand that not every truck is parked conveniently for pickup. If your truck is in storage or hard to reach, we can coordinate with you to find a suitable solution.
Title transfer & paperwork
In Virginia, transferring the title of your truck is straightforward. You’ll need to complete the DMV’s Application for Certificate of Title (Form VSA 17A) and indicate the sale or donation of the vehicle. Notarization is required for the signature, and it’s best to return the license plates to the DMV to avoid penalties. Our team can guide you through this process to ensure everything is done correctly, allowing you to focus on what matters—making a positive impact.
Tax deduction for this donation
When you donate your truck, you can typically expect a tax deduction based on the vehicle's fair market value. Depending on its condition and the charity's subsequent use of the truck, you might receive a deduction ranging from $500 to several thousand dollars. You’ll receive IRS Form 1098-C, detailing your contribution, which will help when it’s time to file your taxes.
