Condition & logistics
Running vs Not
We accept both operational and non-operational commercial vehicles. If your vehicle is running, we can arrange for immediate pickup. If not, we’ll guide you through the donation process, ensuring minimal hassle.
Title Issues
Fleet vehicles require a clear chain of title. If you have any title issues, don’t worry! Our team specializes in navigating the paperwork, ensuring a smooth donation experience.
Storage/Pickup Logistics
Whether your vehicle is parked in your driveway or a fleet facility, we coordinate pickups across Indianapolis. Just let us know where it is, and we’ll handle the rest.
Title transfer & paperwork
In Indiana, transferring the title of a commercial or fleet vehicle involves specific forms and notarization. You’ll need to fill out the Indiana Title Application and provide a Bill of Sale. If your vehicle is registered under your business, ensure you include the business name in the transfer. Remember to return your license plates to the DMV for cancellation. Our team is here to help you with all the necessary forms, making sure you don’t miss a beat.
Tax deduction for this donation
Donating a commercial or fleet vehicle can provide a tax deduction typically ranging between $500 and the vehicle’s market value. You’ll receive a 1098-C form, which details your donation for tax purposes. Always consult with a tax professional for personalized advice, as the exact deduction can vary based on your business circumstances and the vehicle's condition.
