How pickup works
When you're ready to donate your ATV, UTV, or side-by-side, our pickup process is designed to be simple and efficient. Typically, we will send a small flatbed truck or trailer to your location to transport your vehicle, especially if it’s off-road-only and doesn’t come with a title. Our team is skilled in identifying vehicles via VIN or engine number, ensuring all paperwork is in order, even if you only have an MSO bill-of-sale chain. We coordinate with you to choose a convenient pickup time, whether at a farm, ranch, or hunting cabin, making the entire process hassle-free.
What drives donation value
The value of your donated ATV, UTV, or side-by-side can be influenced by several factors. For instance, vehicles that have more hours than mileage on 4-stroke engines often hold higher value. Models like the Polaris RZR and Can-Am units tend to command strong prices on the used market, especially if well-maintained and accompanied by service records. While cosmetic issues like dents and fading may slightly reduce value, a vehicle that runs well can still command a premium. Even non-running units have positive parts value, which contributes to the overall donation impact.
Documentation you need

Birmingham specifics
In Birmingham, Alabama, the donation process for ATVs and UTVs is straightforward but does vary slightly based on state regulations. Vehicles operating off-road may not require a state title, allowing for a bill-of-sale system instead. It’s essential to understand that some local DMV rules may affect the transfer process, so our team is ready to assist with any questions you may have regarding your specific situation. We ensure every donation aligns with Alabama's regulations for a smooth transaction.
