Condition & logistics
Running vs. Not Running
We accept SUVs and crossovers in all conditions, but those that are running will typically fetch a higher donation value. Even if it’s just gathering dust, don’t hesitate to reach out.
Title Issues
If the title is missing or if there are discrepancies, don't sweat it. We can guide you through the process to resolve any issues while ensuring a smooth donation experience.
Storage and Pickup Logistics
Whether your SUV is parked on the street or in your garage, we can coordinate a pickup time that works for you. We handle all the logistics, so you can focus on what matters most.
Title transfer & paperwork
In Virginia, transferring your SUV or crossover's title is straightforward. You'll need to complete the DMV's Title Application form and ensure the vehicle is notarized. If you have personalized plates, be sure to return them to the DMV. Our team at Wheel Give Back will provide the specific forms required to make this process seamless. No worries—just donate your ride and let us handle the details!
Tax deduction for this donation
When you donate your SUV or crossover, you can typically expect a tax deduction in the range of $500 to the vehicle's fair market value, especially for late-model vehicles. After your donation, you'll receive a Form 1098-C, which details your contribution for tax purposes. This form helps ensure you get the maximum benefit come tax season!
Local context — Norfolk
Norfolk is a city that thrives on adventure, from the bustle of Ghent to the laid-back vibes of Ocean View. It’s common for locals to donate their SUVs when facing life changes such as downsizing after kids leave for college, divorce, or relocating for new jobs. These transitions often lead to the decision to part with vehicles that no longer fit their lifestyle.
With our vibrant culture, people recognize that an SUV or crossover can be a burden instead of a boon, especially when it’s just sitting outside the house or parked for too long in the RV park. Donating not only clears the clutter but also gives back to the community.
