How do I donate my vehicle to Vision Wheels?
Donating your vehicle is simple! Just visit our website and fill out the donation form with details about your vehicle. You can also call our local office. We’ll arrange a convenient pickup time that works for you, and there’s no need to worry about towing fees. Once you’ve completed the donation form, we will handle the rest.
What paperwork do I need to complete for the donation?
You’ll need to provide the title of the vehicle you wish to donate, which shows your ownership. If you’ve misplaced the title, you can contact your local Georgia DMV to get a replacement. Having the title ready helps facilitate a smooth donation process.
Will I receive a tax deduction for my donation?
Yes! Your vehicle donation may qualify for a tax deduction. The IRS allows you to deduct the fair market value of the vehicle. After the sale of your vehicle, we will send you a tax receipt for your records. It's always a good idea to consult with a tax professional for personalized advice about your specific tax situation.
What happens to my vehicle after I donate it?
Your vehicle will be assessed and either repaired for resale or sold in its current condition. The proceeds from the sale of your vehicle directly support our mission to connect Georgia residents with crucial benefits services like SNAP, Georgia Medicaid, and more. Your donation helps ensure that funds go back into the community!
How does my donation help fund benefits research?
Proceeds from the sale of donated vehicles enable Vision Wheels to finance research on local benefits programs. This research helps us identify gaps in services and ensures that Georgia residents have access to programs such as TANF, WIC, and LIHEAP. Your donation plays a vital role in improving community health and welfare.
What if my vehicle is not in running condition?
No worries! We accept vehicles in various conditions, including those that are not running. Towing is covered by us, so even if your vehicle is old or broken down, it can still be a valuable donation that helps fund assistance programs like PeachCare and Georgia Medicaid for local families.
How can I use the benefits finder?
Using our benefits finder is straightforward! Simply visit our website, input your information, and it will guide you to various assistance programs such as SNAP and WIC that you may qualify for. This service is designed to help you find the resources you need quickly and efficiently.
Are there any age or condition restrictions on donated vehicles?
There are no specific age or condition restrictions on vehicles you wish to donate. Whether your vehicle is a vintage classic or an old clunker, it can still be sold and contribute to our research funding for programs like Georgia Medicaid and LIHEAP, ensuring essential services are available to those in need.
How does Vision Wheels ensure my donation is secure?
We take your privacy seriously. All personal information collected during the donation process is kept confidential and secure. We’ll only use your data for processing the donation and for tax purposes. Rest assured, your information will never be shared with third parties without your consent.
What if I change my mind about donating?
If you change your mind before the pickup occurs, just let us know, and we can cancel the donation. If the vehicle has already been picked up, you may need to contact us to discuss your options. We understand that circumstances change, and we’re here to help.
How long will it take for my vehicle to be picked up?
Once you complete your donation form, we’ll typically schedule a pickup within a few days. Our team will contact you to confirm the time and address that works best for you. We aim to make the process as quick and convenient as possible!
Are there any costs associated with donating my vehicle?

Can I donate a vehicle that I’m still making payments on?
Unfortunately, you cannot donate a vehicle that has an outstanding loan. However, you can consider paying off the loan first. After the loan is settled, you’re welcome to donate the vehicle, helping us support important services like Georgia Medicaid and WIC in your community.
What should I do with my license plates after donation?
After donating your vehicle, it’s best to remove your license plates. You will need to return them to your local Georgia DMV to avoid any potential liabilities. Be sure to notify them of the donation to prevent any issues down the line.
How will I know when my vehicle has been sold?
