Condition & logistics
Running Trucks vs. Non-Running Trucks
We accept both running and non-running trucks! Even if your work truck has had its last day on the job, you can still make a difference.
Title Issues
If your title has issues, don’t worry! We can help navigate the paperwork. Just let us know the circumstances, and we’ll handle the rest.
Storage and Pickup Logistics
Have your truck parked in Melbourne or nearby? We can arrange for pickup, ensuring you won’t have to lift a finger. It’s as easy as that!
Title transfer & paperwork
In Florida, transferring the title for your truck is straightforward. You’ll need to fill out the standard DMV forms, which we can provide. If your title is not notarized, we can guide you through that process as well. Don’t forget to return your license plates; they’ll need to be surrendered to the DMV. Our team can help clarify any questions, ensuring you’ve got everything squared away before you say goodbye to your truck.
Tax deduction for this donation
When you donate your truck, you may qualify for a tax deduction typically ranging from $500 to the vehicle’s fair market value. When we sell the truck, you'll receive a 1098-C form detailing the sale. This can give you a clearer picture of your tax benefits, so be sure to consult your tax advisor to maximize your deduction. It’s a win-win situation!
Local context — Melbourne
In Melbourne, trucks come from all walks of life. Often, our donors are locals who are downsizing from their family homes in neighborhoods like Indian River Lagoon or simply looking to clear space in their driveways. With many residents facing life changes—whether it's divorce, relocation, or upgrading to a newer model—your truck donation can help someone else in the community while providing you with a hassle-free way to let go of a vehicle that no longer serves you. Melbourne's close-knit community spirit and commitment to helping one another make it the perfect place for truck donations.
