Condition guide
When donating a vehicle, it's essential to consider its condition. Running vehicles are typically the easiest to donate as they can be sold or auctioned off directly.

Vehicles with salvage titles are generally accepted but may require additional steps or documentation. Rebuilt or reconstructed vehicles might also qualify on a case-by-case basis. Please check with us about any specific concerns regarding your vehicle's title, and we will guide you through the donation process.
