What happens if you delay

⚠ Complicated Title Transfer

Delaying your donation could lead to complex title transfer issues across state lines. This can result in unexpected fees and frustrations during your move.

⚠ Inspection and Registration Gaps

Failure to donate in time may leave you liable for emissions or safety inspections once you arrive in your new state, along with gaps in vehicle registration.

⚠ Lost Leverage and Impound Fees

If you leave your vehicle behind, it may be considered abandoned. This could result in impound fees and loss of leverage for future transactions related to your car.

⚠ Stress and Liability Issues

Without a proper donation, you risk liability for the vehicle after moving, including any fines or accidents that may occur while it's registered in your name.

Have these ready before you submit

Utah specifics

Delays in donation can lead to unpredictable outcomes, including potential vehicle abandonment rules that vary in your new state.

FAQ

What if I can't find my vehicle title?
If you've misplaced your title, you can apply for a duplicate through the Utah DMV. However, this process can be time-consuming, so it's best to secure a copy before your move.
How quickly can you pick up my car?
We can typically schedule a pickup within 1-3 business days. However, during peak moving season, it’s recommended to schedule as soon as possible to ensure timely service.
Will I receive a tax deduction for my donation?
Yes! You will receive an IRS 1098-C form for your tax purposes, mailed to your new address after the vehicle is donated.
What should I do if I already moved?
If you've already relocated, you may still donate your vehicle, but make sure to change the title to the new owner's name to avoid complications with the DMV.
What happens to my vehicle after donation?
Your vehicle will be sold or recycled, and the proceeds will go to supporting local programs. You can feel good knowing you're making a positive impact!
Can I donate a vehicle that doesn't run?
Absolutely! We accept vehicles in all conditions, including those that are not running. Donating a non-operational vehicle is still a great way to contribute!
How does the release of liability work?
When you donate your vehicle, we file a release of liability, protecting you from any future issues related to the vehicle once it is picked up and off your hands.
