What we accept

Condition & logistics

Running vs. Not Running

If your SUV or crossover is running smoothly, it’s likely to command a higher donation value. Vehicles with minor mechanical issues can still be accepted, but be honest about the condition to maximize your tax benefits.

Title Issues

Make sure your title is clear of liens and ownership disputes. If there are issues, we can offer guidance on how to resolve them to facilitate a smooth donation process.

Storage and Pickup Logistics

We offer free pickup for your SUV or crossover anywhere in Florida. Just let us know where it’s parked, whether at your home in Orlando or a marina in Naples, and we’ll handle it!

Title transfer & paperwork

Transferring the title for your SUV or crossover in Florida is a straightforward process. You’ll need to complete the Florida DMV’s title transfer form, which can be done online or in-person at your local tax collector's office. Ensure that both you and the recipient sign the title and have it notarized. Remember to return your license plates to the DMV to avoid any surprises down the road!

Tax deduction for this donation

When you donate your SUV or crossover, you may be eligible for a tax deduction ranging from $500 to the fair market value of your vehicle, depending on its condition and resale value. We’ll provide you with IRS Form 1098-C to help you claim this benefit come tax season. Just be sure to keep all documentation for your records!

Local context — Florida

In Florida, SUVs and crossovers are more than just vehicles; they’re a lifestyle. From navigating the sandy beaches of the Gulf Coast to tackling the rugged backroads of the Everglades, these vehicles are built for adventure. Many local residents donate their SUVs when faced with major life changes—be it downsizing their family, relocating for work, or simply upgrading to a newer model. The unique Floridian culture embraces the outdoors, and as families transition, they often pass along their trusty rides to make a positive impact.
