Old Fleet Vehicles, Boats, RVs, and Motorcycles
Cars are only the most common donation. A small business retiring a Escambia County delivery truck, a household done with an RV that no longer leaves the driveway, or an owner ready to part with a project motorcycle can donate those vehicles on the same basic terms.
Larger vehicles take a bit more coordination on the tow — a flatbed for a non-running RV, a trailer rendezvous for a boat — but the financial picture is the same: free pickup, a signed title, and IRS documentation for the deduction.

Donating a Car in Escambia County: Common Questions
Straight answers on donating your car, the tax treatment, and what to expect.
Does the Escambia County car have to run or be in good condition? expand_more
No. Charities that accept vehicle donations routinely take cars that do not start, have body damage, or are mechanically worn out. Condition affects the eventual sale value — and therefore the deduction — but not eligibility.
Is the towing really free? expand_more
Yes. Charities that accept vehicle donations contract with tow operators who are paid out of the eventual sale or use of the car. The donor pays nothing for pickup, whether the car runs or not.
What if the donor doesn't have the title for the Escambia County car? expand_more
A duplicate title can be ordered from the state DMV; the receiving charity can usually wait while the replacement arrives. Donating a vehicle without any title is rarely possible.
How does someone start donating a Escambia County car? expand_more
Begin with the form on this page: provide a few basic details about the Escambia County vehicle and request a free pickup. From there the donor is connected with a qualified 501(c)(3) that schedules the tow, accepts the signed title, and mails the IRS Form 1098-C.
Should the donor talk to a tax advisor before donating in Escambia County? expand_more
Yes, it is a good idea. The information here is general, and a tax professional can confirm how a vehicle gift affects a specific deduction, income, and filing situation.
