Once the form is submitted, we will contact you to schedule a home pickup at a time that works best for you. Our specialists are trained to assist you and accommodate any specific needs you may have during the process.
Complete Paperwork with Ease
We provide options for completing the necessary paperwork either electronically or via mail, ensuring you can carry out this step conveniently. If needed, caregivers or family members can assist in signing the documents.
Vehicle Pickup

Receive Confirmation and Tax Forms
After the vehicle is picked up, we’ll send you a confirmation email and the IRS tax deduction form (1098-C) should you choose to itemize. Remember, you can also consult with a tax professional regarding your specific situation.
Paperwork accommodations
Electronic Signatures
If you cannot physically sign documents, we offer the option to complete paperwork electronically, making the process seamless and accommodating your mobility needs.
Caregiver Involvement
Family members or caregivers can help by signing paperwork on your behalf. This can simplify the process and reduce any burden you might feel during the donation.
Mail-In Options
If in-person signatures aren’t feasible, we can send necessary documents through the mail for you to sign at your convenience, ensuring you have control over when to complete this step.
Power of Attorney (POA)
If you have a designated power of attorney, they can handle all aspects of the donation on your behalf. Be sure to indicate this on your donation form.
Remote Coordination
We can coordinate all aspects of the pickup and paperwork remotely, ensuring you don’t have to leave your home or handle any stress-provoking interactions.
Honest about limitations
While donating your vehicle can be a straightforward option, it's important to recognize that not all donors will benefit from a tax deduction. For instance, individuals with no tax liability may not be able to utilize the donation as a financial benefit. Additionally, the IRS stipulates that you may only claim a deduction of up to $500 unless the vehicle sells for more than $5,000. In such cases, you will need to receive the 1098-C form for your records, which requires understanding your financial situation and how itemized deductions apply.
Delaware specifics
In Delaware, laws regarding power of attorney can vary, so if you plan to have someone else handle your donation, ensure they understand the state-specific requirements. For those affiliated with military bases or local hospitals, we can coordinate pickups from various locations, providing the necessary flexibility. Additionally, local disability services can offer resources that may assist you further during this process.
