What we accept

Condition & logistics

Running vs Not Running

SUVs and crossovers with working drivetrains usually attract the highest donation values, especially if they’re late-model. However, we can also accept non-running vehicles, though the value may be lower.

Title Issues

If your vehicle has a clean title, that’s ideal! However, even if there are minor title issues, we can typically work through them. It's best to clarify before you donate.

Storage/Pickup Logistics

We provide free pickup for your SUV or crossover, making the process simple. Just let us know where you’re located in Richmond, and we’ll take care of the rest!

Title transfer & paperwork

Transferring the title of your SUV or crossover in Virginia is straightforward. You'll need to fill out the Virginia DMV Form VSA 17A for a title transfer. If your vehicle is sold or donated, ensure you remove your plates and return them to the DMV. In Virginia, notarization is required for each title transfer, which ensures that the transaction is secure and legitimate. If you have any further questions about the process, our team is here to guide you!

Tax deduction for this donation

When you donate your SUV or crossover in Richmond, you can generally expect a tax deduction in the range of $500 to $5,000, depending on the vehicle's condition and market value. You'll receive a Form 1098-C, which details your vehicle donation and tells the IRS how much you can deduct. Be sure to consult with a tax professional for personalized advice regarding your specific situation.

Local context — Richmond
