What do you need to know when donating a vehicle in Georgia?
Of course, there’s a bit of paperwork you need to fill out. On the day your vehicle is picked up, you’ll need a few things to complete the process:
Vehicle Title: In order to complete your Georgia car donation, transfer your title by PRINTING and SIGNING your name in the seller field at the bottom of the FIRST SECTION on the back of the title, and be sure to fill it out EXACTLY as it appears in the Registered Owner section.
What do I have to do when my vehicle gets picked up?
You’ll have to fill out some paperwork in order to complete your Georgia car donation. On the day your vehicle is picked up, you’ll need to transfer the vehicle title by:
- PRINTING and SIGNING your name in the seller field at the bottom of the first section on the back of the title.
- Be sure to fill out your name exactly as it appears in the Registered Owner section.
- If you don’t have the vehicle title, you can file for a replacement with the state.
- Georgia doesn’t require a title on things like mopeds or snowmobiles, so check with us on the requirements before donating.
The day of your scheduled vehicle pickup, you’ll need to provide the driver with the completed title, along with the keys. After the vehicle sells, you'll receive a vehicle donation receipt for tax purposes.
Can I donate my car in Georgia if it doesn’t pass emissions testing?
Yes! If your car is 25 years old or older, you’re exempt. Most cars have to pass emissions in Georgia. When they fail, they can often be relegated to permanently disabled status, but we’ll take it! We’ll even take a non-running car and you’ll see a tax benefit along with the satisfaction of helping your favorite local Georgia public radio station.
