Condition & logistics
Running vs. Not Running
Whether your motorcycle is in pristine condition or has seen better days, we accept donations in any state. Running or not, your vehicle can still make a difference. Our team will handle the towing process, so you don’t have to worry about a thing!
Title Issues
Make sure to have the motorcycle title signed over to us, including the odometer reading. If you don’t have a title, don’t fret just yet; reach out, and we can help guide you through the necessary steps.
Storage & Pickup Logistics
We work around your schedule to arrange a convenient pickup from your home or storage facility. Whether your bike is parked at an RV park or tucked away in a garage, we’ll have it towed and taken care of swiftly.
Title transfer & paperwork
In Florida, transferring the title of your motorcycle is a straightforward process. You’ll need to fill out the appropriate section on the title, including the odometer reading. Notarization isn't typically required for private sales, but it's a good idea. Keep in mind to return the license plates to your local county tax collector’s office to avoid any future liabilities. If you have questions about the forms or specifics, our team can provide clear guidance!
Tax deduction for this donation
When you donate your motorcycle, you may qualify for a tax deduction that typically ranges from $500 to the actual sales price at auction. After your donation, we’ll provide you with IRS Form 1098-C, making it simple to claim your deduction. Consult with a tax professional to ensure you maximize your benefits!
Local context — Fort Lauderdale
Motorcycle donations in Fort Lauderdale often come from passionate riders who are downsizing or perhaps facing life changes like relocation or divorce. The vibrant culture of South Florida, with its beaches, trails, and bustling marina scenes, attracts enthusiasts who sometimes need to part with their vehicles. While some riders upgrade to newer models, others simply find themselves with a bike that no longer fits their lifestyle. Whatever the reason, your motorcycle donation is welcomed and appreciated in our community.
