Condition & logistics
Running vs Not Running
Whether your van is a reliable run-around or has seen its last miles, we accept both running and non-running vehicles. Don’t let a broken engine keep your van from doing good!
Title Issues
If your van’s title has issues, such as being lost or not in your name, don’t worry! We'll guide you through the steps to resolve these, ensuring your donation is hassle-free.
Storage/Pickup Logistics
We offer convenient pickup options. If your van is parked in your driveway or at a storage unit, we’ll arrange a pickup that fits your schedule, making the process as easy as possible.
Title transfer & paperwork
When donating your van or minivan in Miami, navigating the Florida DMV regulations is essential. To transfer the title, you’ll need to complete a Notice of Sale and other necessary forms, which you can find online or at a local DMV office. It's beneficial to have the title notarized. Don't forget to remove your license plates and return them to the DMV, as the state requires this for proper record-keeping. AutoHeart is here to help you every step of the way!
Tax deduction for this donation
Your generous donation could earn you a tax deduction ranging from $500 up to the fair market value of your van or minivan, depending on its condition and the use it finds after donation. When you donate, you’ll receive IRS Form 1098-C to help you document the contribution. We recommend consulting a tax professional to maximize your benefits!
