What we accept

Condition & logistics

Running vs. Non-Running

We accept both running and non-running SUVs and crossovers, but running vehicles often yield a higher donation valuation. A working drivetrain can significantly boost your vehicle's worth!

Title Issues

If your SUV or crossover has a clean title, that's ideal. However, we can advise you on how to handle title issues—just reach out for assistance!

Storage and Pickup Logistics

We offer convenient pickup options throughout South Carolina. If your vehicle is stored at home, work, or a local marina, we’ll coordinate logistics to make the process stress-free.

Title transfer & paperwork

In South Carolina, transferring the title of your SUV or crossover is a straightforward process. You will need to complete the SC DMV Form 400, which can be found on their website. It’s important to ensure it is signed and notarized to avoid any hiccups down the line. Don’t forget to return your license plates to the DMV when you complete the title transfer! Our team can guide you through every step to make sure you don’t miss anything important.

Tax deduction for this donation

When you donate your SUV or crossover, you could expect a tax deduction in the typical range of $500 to several thousand dollars, depending on the vehicle’s resale value. We’ll provide you with IRS Form 1098-C, which details the value of your donation and can be used for your tax returns. It’s a win-win situation—helping your community while also benefiting financially!

Local context — South Carolina

In South Carolina, SUVs and crossovers are more than just vehicles; they are lifestyle choices that reflect our love for exploration and family time. Many donations come from folks downsizing after their children head off to college or relocating for jobs. Neighborhoods like West Ashley and the suburbs around Columbia often see higher rates of vehicle donations as families upgrade to newer models or address changes. Additionally, the rugged terrain and outdoor adventures found in the Upstate mean that SUVs and crossovers are a staple in many households. Your donation helps keep this culture thriving.
