How South Carolina car donation works (3 steps)

  1. Submit the form or call us

    Tell us about the vehicle: year, make, model, condition, and your South Carolina 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 South Carolina 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.

South Carolina title transfer process

South Carolina titles all vehicles. Sign the title's 'Assignment of Title' section and complete the odometer disclosure. Lost titles: SC residents can apply for a replacement via SCDMV for $15. South Carolina also requires a Notice of Sale to be filed; we handle this on your behalf.

South Carolina tax deduction notes

South Carolina state income tax is a graduated rate from 0% to 6.4% in 2026. SC generally conforms to federal itemized deductions including charitable contributions, so a federal vehicle deduction reduces your state taxable income too.

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