What can I donate? |
What if my vehicle isn't
running? |
|
We accept donations of almost all types of
vehicles, including cars, trucks, motorcycles,
boats, snowmobiles, trailers and recreational
vehicles. Boats and airplanes may require a call
to see if they meet minimum criteria. |
Your vehicle does
not have to be running. You will be asked to
explain the condition of the vehicle. In rare
cases, we are unable to accept some vehicles
when the costs of transport and processing fees
exceed the auction value of the vehicle. |

How long will it take you to
pick up my vehicle? |
What documents do I need to donate
my vehicle? |
| All vehicle
donations are processed very quickly. Typically,
your vehicle will be scheduled to be picked
upped within 3 days after we received your
donation confirmation. You will be contacted by
the transporter within 24 to 36 hours to
schedule the actual pick up date and time. |
Most states require that you have a clear title
to the vehicle; some states also require a
notarized signature to complete a donation. If
you cannot locate or have lost the certificate
of title, we can help you obtain the proper
documentation.

|
What if the vehicle isn't registered in my name? |
How
much of the money generated by the sale of my vehicle
goes back to the charity? |
| The vehicle does
not have to be registered in your name. The name
on the title and the name on registration
documents may often differ. Contact our
processing center at xxx-xxx-xxxx for more
information. |
We use only the nation’s top auto auctions to
insure that your vehicle will bring the maximum
actual cash value. With the number of vehicle
donations we process each year we are able to
negotiate the very best processing,
transportation and auction fees to guarantee the
our charities the highest possible net returns
for your donation. |

|
What are the tax benefits
of donating my vehicle |
|
|
If you itemize deductions on your income tax
return, it may be possible to claim a deduction
for your car donation. In general, donors who
itemize their taxes may deduct a value of
$499.00 on any donated vehicle up to $499. If
your vehicle sells for more than $500, you may
deduct the full selling price. For more
information, please click the Tax Questions link
above. |

*****Contact your tax advisor for the actual amount of
your tax
benefit***** How do I know my vehicle is in good
hands once it's been picked up?
We use only fully licensed, bonded and insured
transportation companies. Also, by signing the title
directly to Circle-A Logistics, the charities authorized
agent, you are legally transferring ownership of your
vehicle. When we receive your title to the vehicle and
your vehicle is picked up, you are no longer responsible
for your vehicle. Once, we receive the vehicle and the
title you will receive a transportation receipt for your
vehicle from the tow truck driver. If the vehicle sells
for more than $499.00 you will then receive an
additional receipt stating the actual sale price.
