What we accept

Condition & logistics

Running vs. Not Running

We accept both running and non-running vans. If your vehicle doesn't start, don't worry; it can still make a difference. Our towing services can handle the pickup!

Title Issues

It's crucial to have the title for your van. If you’ve misplaced it, you may need to request a duplicate through the West Virginia DMV. Let us assist you in this process.

Storage and Pickup Logistics

Not sure where to store your van? We can work with you to schedule a convenient pickup. Whether it’s parked in a driveway or at a local RV park, we handle the logistics.

Title transfer & paperwork

In West Virginia, transferring the title of your donated van or minivan requires completing the WV DMV Form V-3. Remember, notarization is often necessary, especially if you're transferring ownership to a nonprofit. Don't forget to remove your license plates before donation—they must be returned to the DMV to cancel your registration. We’re here to guide you through this process.

Tax deduction for this donation

Your donation may qualify for a tax deduction in the range of $500 to the vehicle's fair market value. When we sell your van, we'll provide a 1098-C form to help you with your tax return, ensuring you can claim the maximum deduction possible.

Local context — West Virginia

In West Virginia, vans and minivans often come from various life changes. Whether it’s downsizing from a larger vehicle after the kids have moved out, dealing with a divorce, or relocating for work, locals find themselves with unwanted vans. The rich culture in towns like Parkersburg and Morgantown means that many community groups are actively seeking these vehicles to transport members and supplies. Vans are vital for local churches and businesses, enhancing everything from charity work to day-to-day operations.
