What we accept

Condition & logistics

Running vs. Not Running

Don't stress about the condition! We accept both running trucks and those that have seen better days. High mileage? No problem! Your truck can still qualify for donation.

Title Issues

If your truck has title issues, we can help! AutoHeritage Donate handles all the necessary paperwork to ensure a smooth process, even if the paperwork isn’t in perfect shape.

Storage & Pickup Logistics

Concerned about where your truck is parked? We offer free pickup options, whether your truck is sitting in the driveway, at a storage facility, or even deep in the heart of the city.

Title transfer & paperwork

When donating a truck in Virginia, it's important to understand the DMV title transfer process. You'll need to fill out the Virginia Certificate of Title application, which can be done online or at your local DMV office. Some transfers may require notarization, so check with the DMV for any specific requirements related to commercial vehicles. Remember to return your license plates to the DMV once the truck has been donated. Don’t worry; we’ll guide you through all the necessary steps!

Tax deduction for this donation

When you donate a truck, you can typically expect a tax deduction ranging from $500 to the actual sale price if the vehicle sells for more than that. You’ll receive a 1098-C form, reflecting the donation value, which is crucial for your tax filing. Consult a tax professional to understand how the deduction can benefit you based on your individual situation.

Local context — Virginia

In Virginia, trucks often come from hardworking individuals or businesses that face life changes like downsizing, relocation, or business closure. Whether it's an old pickup from a family farm in Loudoun County or a box truck from a small business in Norfolk, the motivations to donate are as diverse as the state's landscapes. The local culture values hard work, and it’s common to see people transition from commercial vehicles to smaller cars — but those trucks can still make a big impact through donation.
