Condition & logistics
Running vs Not Running
An SUV or crossover that runs well will typically receive a higher donation valuation. Even if your vehicle has some issues, we still accept non-running vehicles, but they may be valued lower.
Title Issues
Having a clear title is crucial for the donation process. If your title is lost or damaged, we can guide you through obtaining a duplicate from the Georgia DMV.
Storage and Pickup Logistics
We offer free pickup services in the Atlanta area. If your SUV or crossover is parked at home or even at a local RV park, we’ll come to you for the pickup hassle-free.
Title transfer & paperwork
In Georgia, transferring the title of your SUV or crossover is relatively straightforward. You’ll need to complete the Title Transfer section on the back of your title and provide the buyer (us!) with the completed form. It’s worth noting that notarization is not always required, but having it can make things smoother. Also, don’t forget to remove your license plates before donating your vehicle; you can return them to the DMV or transfer them to your new vehicle.
Tax deduction for this donation
When you donate your SUV or crossover in Atlanta, you could typically receive a tax deduction ranging from $500 to the fair market value, depending on the vehicle's condition and sale price. We’ll provide you with IRS Form 1098-C, which outlines your donation and helps you with tax reporting. Always consult with a tax professional for the best advice tailored to your situation!
