Condition & logistics
Running vs. Not Running
We accept both running and non-running trucks. Even if your vehicle has seen better days, it can still help someone in need. Don’t hesitate to reach out if you’re unsure!
Title Issues
Got a title with issues? No problem! We can assist you with the paperwork, ensuring your donation is processed smoothly, no matter the complications.
Storage and Pickup Logistics
If your truck is parked at home or in the garage, we can arrange for a convenient pickup. Just let us know where it’s located, and we'll handle the rest!
Title transfer & paperwork
Transferring the title for your truck in Alabama is straightforward. You’ll need to fill out the Alabama Vehicle Title Application, and if there’s a lien, we can help address that too. Don’t forget: the title should be notarized if you’re donating on behalf of someone else. Return any license plates to the DMV, and you're good to go. We’ll guide you through every step of the process!
Tax deduction for this donation
When you donate your truck, you may qualify for a tax deduction that typically ranges from $500 to the vehicle’s fair market value, depending on its condition. Be sure to keep the 1098-C form we provide, as it helps you claim your deduction with the IRS. Remember, it’s a win-win situation: you help others and get some financial perks in return!

Whether it’s a divorce, failed inspection, or just a passion for upgrading to newer models, the truck donation culture here is vibrant and driven by the community’s need for support and care.
