At Appalachian Autos, we understand that trucks are essential for the hardworking folks of West Virginia. Whether you've got a trusty pickup that's seen better days or a commercial truck that’s piled on the miles, we want to help you turn that vehicle into a charitable contribution. When you donate a truck in West Virginia, you’re not just getting rid of an old workhorse; you're supporting local communities and causes that matter.

Title transfer & paperwork
In West Virginia, transferring the title of your truck is straightforward.

Depending on the situation, notarization may be required, so be sure to check local regulations. Don't forget to return your license plates too—it's one less thing to worry about!
Tax deduction for this donation
Donating your truck may entitle you to a tax deduction ranging from $500 to the vehicle’s fair market value, which we’ll provide on IRS Form 1098-C. Remember, the actual deduction amounts can vary greatly depending on the condition and sale of the vehicle. Always consult with a tax advisor for the best advice on maximizing your deduction.
