- Inherited vehicle (title missing due to probate issues)

Condition & logistics
Running vs. Not Running
We accept both running and non-running cars! If your vehicle is drivable, we’ll help you get the most out of your donation. If it’s not, no worries! We’ll manage the towing.
Title Issues
Don’t stress about losing your title! We assist with applying for duplicate titles, making it easier for you to donate even without that slip of paper.
Storage & Pickup Logistics
No garage? No problem. We can arrange pickup from your driveway or a local parking lot, ensuring hassle-free donations regardless of your car’s location.
Title transfer & paperwork
In Florida, when handling a car without a title, the process begins with specific DMV forms. If you’ve lost your title, we guide you through the application for a duplicate title, which may require notarization. Remember to return your license plates to the DMV if you still have them. We’re here to help simplify this process so it doesn’t become a headache!
Tax deduction for this donation
When donating a car without a title in Miami, you can typically expect a tax deduction ranging from $500 to the actual sale price. We’ll provide you with IRS Form 1098-C, which verifies your donation and helps you claim your deduction come tax season. Donating is not just a good deed; it’s a smart financial move!
Local context — Miami
In Miami, vehicles often come to us from various situations — whether it’s a divorce forcing a quick sale, downsizing to a smaller apartment in Brickell, or relocating to a new city. The vibrant culture here leads many to inherit cars without the necessary documentation, while others find themselves stuck with a vehicle that failed inspection. Whatever your reason, the Miami vibe is all about making things happen, and we’re here to help you do exactly that!
