Condition & logistics
Running vs. Not Running
We accept both running and non-running vehicles! If your vehicle still has some life left, great! If not, don’t worry—we can arrange for pickup of non-operational fleet vehicles as well.
Title Issues
Make sure you have a clear chain of title. Your donation will be seamless with a straightforward title transfer. If there are any issues, give us a call—we're here to help.
Storage/Pickup Logistics
We handle the logistics of pickup, so you don’t need to worry about where to keep your vehicle. Whether it’s at your business or in storage, we’ll coordinate a pickup time that works for you.
Title transfer & paperwork
When donating a commercial or fleet vehicle in Alabama, you’ll need to complete specific title transfer forms provided by the Alabama DMV. The vehicle title must be signed over to Cruise Forward, and you might need to notarize the signature to ensure a smooth transaction. Don’t forget to return the license plates to the DMV when you finalize the transfer. We’ll provide guidance throughout this process to make it as easy as possible for you—no need to Google obscure DMV regulations!
Tax deduction for this donation
When you donate your commercial or fleet vehicle, you may qualify for a tax deduction. Typically, the deduction falls within the range of $500 to the vehicle's fair market value, depending on its condition at the time of donation. After the sale of your vehicle, we’ll send you a Form 1098-C that outlines the necessary details for filing your taxes. Keep in mind, though, you should consult with a tax professional to get the best advice for your unique situation.
Local context — Mobile
In Mobile, commercial and fleet vehicles mainly come from local businesses in the thriving industries of shipping, construction, and service. Many of our donors are small business owners, faced with the challenges of downsizing or transitioning their operations. Sometimes it’s about getting rid of a vehicle that failed inspection or is no longer economically viable. And let’s face it, other times it’s simply time for a change. Our diverse community, rich in history and bustling with activity, has fostered a culture of giving back. By donating your vehicle, you’re not just clearing out a space in your lot; you’re contributing to a greater good.
