Condition & logistics
Running vs Not Running
We accept motorcycles in any condition, whether they’re revving and ready to go or resting peacefully in your garage. Don’t let a dead battery or faulty engine stop you from donating; your bike still has plenty of life left to give!
Title Issues
To ensure a smooth donation, make sure the title is signed on the back with the odometer reading filled out. If you’ve misplaced it, don’t worry—let us know, and we can help you navigate the process of obtaining a duplicate in Florida.
Storage/Pickup Logistics
We provide free pickup services throughout Miami, making it as easy as rolling your bike out of the garage. Whether you’re at an RV park or downtown, our team will coordinate a pickup time that works for you.
Title transfer & paperwork
In Florida, transferring the title of your motorcycle is crucial for a smooth donation. You'll need to fill out Form HSMV 82040, which can be done online or at your local DMV. Make sure the title is signed over to AutoHeart, and don’t forget to include the odometer reading. If your bike is still registered, it’s a good idea to return the plates to the DMV when you complete the transfer to avoid any future liability.
Tax deduction for this donation
When you donate a motorcycle, you may qualify for a tax deduction based on its fair market value. Most donations fall within the $500 to $5,000 range, depending on the bike's condition and age. Remember, you'll receive IRS Form 1098-C upon completion of your donation to help you claim your deduction during tax season.
Local context — Miami
Motorcycle donations in Miami come from various neighborhoods that embrace the motorcycling lifestyle. From the art-filled streets of Wynwood to the sunny shores of Key Biscayne, residents often donate their motorcycles due to life changes like divorce, downsizing, or relocation. The thrill of the ride can quickly turn into a burdensome project, especially with Florida’s tropical climate, which can be harsh on non-covered bikes. Our local culture, rich with a love for speed and adventure, means that your motorcycle can easily find a new home with someone who will appreciate it just as much.
