Frequently Asked Questions
What types of vehicles can I donate?
KSJD gratefully accept almost all car donations. We also accept donated trucks, motorcycles, boats, snowmobiles, trailers and recreational vehicles. Boats and planes may require a call to see if they meet minimum criteria. You can donate your car online or by calling us at 1-877-215-0227.
How should I prepare for pick up?
You should remove all personal items from your vehicle and have your keys and signed title ready upon the tow driver’s arrival. We do ask that your car have at least two inflated tires and be in a tow-accessible location, such as a driveway or on the street.
What documents do I need to donate my car?
You’ll need a clear title in order to complete your car donation. If you had a lien on the vehicle, you’ll also need to provide a lien release document. If you can’t find your title, you’ll have to obtain a duplicate from your state. Click here to find instructions on how to sign your title.
Should I remove my license plates?
It depends on the state. Some states will have you remove it, while others require it to stay on the vehicle. Click here to find your state’s license plate requirements.
How much of the money from the sale of my vehicle is returned to KSJD?
Donating a car or other vehicle to charity can be a confusing decision. Many charity car donation programs promise to help the charities but are run by third-party processors that return very little to the charity. Our partners at Advanced Remarketing Services return at least 70% of the gross selling price for car donations, the highest of any vehicle donation program! View our car donation tips for more info on how to maximize your charitable vehicle donation.
Will I receive a tax receipt?
Within 30 days of the sale of your vehicle, you will receive an email with a tax receipt that includes:
- The gross selling price of your car, if sold for greater than $500. When itemizing taxes, if your car sells for $500 or less, you can deduct $500 or your car’s fair market value, whichever is less.
- Vehicle year, make, model, and VIN.
- A statement that the vehicle was sold at arms-length between two unrelated parties.
- A statement that no good or services were received in return for your donation.
