To start, all you need to do is fill out an
online application or give us a call! We will forward your information
to a local towing company and they will call you right away to pickup
your donation. You will receive a donation receipt and if your donation
sells for more than $500 you will receive an IRS Tax Form 1098C.
In these economic times every dollar donated to
the charity helps to fund vitally needed programs. Your donated vehicle
or vessel will be sold at auction and the net proceeds will be returned
to the charity.
Your vehicle donation or vessel donation
qualifies as a tax deduction. If the market value of your donated car
or boat is less than $500, all you will need to take a deduction is
your donation receipt. If your donated car, truck, van, SUV, boat, etc,
sells for more than $500 we will send you an IRS Form 1098C and you may
write off the value of your donated item up to the full sale price.
Sometimes it can be picked up the same day you
call! You will receive a call from the towing company within 24 hours.
Let them know when its convenient for you to have the car picked up.
Let them know if you are in a hurry and they will make arrangements to
schedule you for pickup as quickly as possible, sometimes that can be
the same day!
Most donated vehicles and vessels are towed. We
work with over 100 auctions around the country to insure the highest
sale price. The auction will transfer title of the vehicle in
accordance with the local state regulations.
The auction will transfer title to the buyer,
who will then be responsible for any liability. Some states require
that you file a notice (Release of Liability,transfer of Ownership,
ect.) with the state department that handles motor vehicles (Department
of Motor Vehicles, Department of Revenue, ect.) to show that ownership
has been transferred. We recommend that you file that form. In some
states you are responsible to return the license plates and/or notify
your insurance company. We suggest you follow recommended procedures in
your state.
