How pickup works for damaged vehicles
Fill Out the Donation Form
Start by filling out our simple online donation form. Provide us with relevant details about your totaled car, including title status and condition.
Schedule Pickup
Once your donation is confirmed, we will contact you to schedule a convenient time for a pickup. Our team is flexible and works around your schedule.
Towing the Vehicle
Our experienced tow operators will arrive with a flatbed truck to safely transport your vehicle. You don’t need to worry about any costs associated with towing.
Paperwork Completion
During the pickup, we will assist you in completing the necessary paperwork, which will simplify the process of claiming your tax deduction later.
Honest value expectations
When donating a totaled vehicle, it's important to have realistic expectations regarding its value. Generally, the donation value for a vehicle with a salvage or rebuilt title ranges from $400 to $2,000, depending on the make, model, and year. While totaled sedans typically fall within this range, luxury vehicles and trucks can command higher values due to parts demand. However, please remember that the salvage title usually caps the donation value at around 60-75% of the equivalent clean-title vehicle.
Diagnose or donate?
If you’re considering spending money on diagnostics or repairs for a totaled vehicle, think carefully about the costs involved. In many cases, it may not be worth the investment, especially when you can easily donate the vehicle as-is. By choosing to donate, you avoid the hassle and expense of repairs while still benefiting from a tax deduction based on the actual sale proceeds of your vehicle.
Georgia pickup specifics
In Georgia, there is a dense network of tow operators experienced in handling flatbed pickups, making it convenient for you to donate your damaged vehicle without additional hassle. Additionally, Georgia’s abandoned vehicle ordinances can add complications for non-running cars, so donating your vehicle is a smart way to avoid potential legal issues and responsibilities related to abandoned vehicles.
