Condition & logistics
Running vs. Non-Running Trucks
We accept trucks that are running and those that aren’t. If your truck is still on the road, it can be a quick turnaround for your donation. If it’s not functioning, don’t worry—we’ll arrange a pickup for you.
Title Issues
Even if your truck has title issues, you can still donate. We handle the complexities of title paperwork, ensuring that the process is as smooth as possible for you.
Storage & Pickup Logistics
Worried about where to keep that old truck? We can arrange for a convenient pick-up from your home or place of storage anywhere in South Dakota, making it easy for you to donate.
Title transfer & paperwork
Transferring the title of your truck in South Dakota is straightforward. You’ll need to complete the SD DMV's title transfer form, which we’ll help you with. Notarization is usually required, so make sure to have the necessary documents ready. Don’t forget—plates must be returned to the DMV, so keep that in mind when donating!
Tax deduction for this donation
When you donate your truck, you may be eligible for a tax deduction ranging from $500 to the full market value, depending on how the vehicle is used afterward. We’ll provide you with a Form 1098-C, which details your deduction. Always check with a tax advisor to ensure you're getting the most accurate information.
