Florida vehicle donations help kids in need and skip the salvage-yard headaches. We pick up across every Florida county, handle the title paperwork (including Notice of Sale 82050), and you get the IRS Form 1098-C deduction.

How Florida car donation works (3 steps)

  1. Submit the form or call us

    Tell us about the vehicle: year, make, model, condition, and your Florida ZIP. Our intake team confirms by phone within one business day.

  2. We send a flatbed at no cost

    Pickup typically 24–48 hours in Florida metros, 3–5 business days in rural areas. The driver brings paperwork and a paper receipt.

  3. You receive IRS Form 1098-C

    Within 30 days of the vehicle's sale, we mail or email your official tax receipt. Most vehicles sell within 60 days of pickup.

Florida title transfer process

Florida titles are issued by the FLHSMV. To donate, complete the 'Transfer of Title by Seller' section on the back of the title and sign as the seller. Florida also requires a Notice of Sale (Form HSMV 82050) be filed within 30 days — we file this on your behalf so your name is cleared from the registration. Lost titles can be replaced online for $75.50.

Florida tax deduction notes

Florida has no state income tax, so your federal deduction is the entirety of your tax benefit. For most itemizing donors that's still meaningful: at the 22% federal bracket, a $2,000 vehicle donation saves $440 in federal tax.

For full federal rules see IRS Publication 4303 — A Donor's Guide to Vehicle Donations.

Common Florida questions

Is car donation legal in Florida?
Yes. Charitable vehicle donation is legal in every US state. We're registered with the IRS as a 501(c)(3) under Fainting Goat Foundation and operate in compliance with Florida title-transfer law.
Do I need a Florida license plate at pickup?
No. You should remove the license plates before pickup and return them to the Florida Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (FLHSMV) according to Florida rules. Our driver will remind you at pickup.
How fast can you pick up in Florida?
Metro Florida pickups are typically 24–48 hours from form submission. Rural areas may take 3–5 business days as our towing partner runs a route. We give you a realistic window during the intake call.
What if I don't have the title?
In most cases we can still pick up. We'll guide you through the Florida duplicate-title process or appropriate alternative documentation. See our title-less donation guide for details.
