Storage and Pickup Logistics
Worried about where to keep that van until someone picks it up? We offer free pickup services across Jacksonville, making it easier than ever to donate.
Title transfer & paperwork
In Florida, transferring the title of your van or minivan is straightforward. You'll need to complete a Title Transfer Application (Form HSMV 82040), which you can get through the Florida DMV website. It's important to have the title notarized if your name is not on the current registration. Don’t forget to cancel your registration and return the license plates to avoid any potential fees. Drive Forward Jax is here to guide you through it all!
Tax deduction for this donation
Your donation could earn you a tax deduction between $500 and the actual sale price of the vehicle if it sells for more. Ensure you keep the 1098-C form we provide, which details the value of your donation and helps you claim this deduction on your tax return.
