For your motorcycle donation, please ensure the title is signed over to us, including the odometer reading. If you have title issues, call us—we'll help guide you through the process to make it smooth and easy.

Title transfer & paperwork
When donating your motorcycle in Alabama, obtaining a clear title is essential. Make sure the title is properly signed, including the odometer reading, before donation. In some cases, notarization may be required, so double-check your paperwork! Also, don't forget to return any license plates to the DMV. We’re here to help you navigate this process, ensuring a smooth title transfer so you can hit the road to your next adventure.
Tax deduction for this donation
Your motorcycle donation could earn you a tax deduction in the range of $500 to several thousand, depending on the bike’s value. When we sell your motorcycle, you’ll receive IRS Form 1098-C for tax purposes. Remember to keep your deduction realistic—if it’s been gathering dust, its market value might not be as high as you think!
Local context — Alabama
Motorcycles are a staple of Alabama culture, found in neighborhoods where the Southern heat calls for a ride. Many donations come from locals facing life changes—divorce, downsizing, or just the need for a garage clear-out. Whether it’s a scenic day riding along the Gulf Coast or a wild time at a local bike rally, we know how much these machines mean to their owners. As riding season approaches, many decide to donate rather than let their beloved bikes languish unused. Whether you’re in Montgomery or Huntsville, every donation helps sustain Alabama’s rich motorcycle heritage.
