Have a trusty old pickup or a rugged work truck collecting dust in your driveway? In South Carolina, we value every mile, especially those that have served local businesses and families well.

Condition & logistics
Running vs Not Running
Whether your truck still starts up or has seen its last drive, we accept donations in all conditions. High-mileage trucks can still make a significant contribution, helping us raise funds for local charities.
Title Issues
Don’t stress if your title has some complications. We specialize in handling commercial vehicle title paperwork, ensuring that the donation process is as smooth as possible.
Storage/Pickup Logistics
Have a truck sitting in your driveway or at a storage facility? We’ll arrange for pickup at a time that works for you, making the donation process effortless and convenient.
Title transfer & paperwork
In South Carolina, transferring your truck title is straightforward. You'll need to complete the SC DMV Form 400, and if your truck has any lienholders, their release is required. Notarization is necessary for certain documents, but don’t worry, our team will guide you through these steps. Remember to remove your old license plate and return it to the DMV to avoid further fees. We'll help you navigate all the specifics to make sure everything goes off without a hitch!
Tax deduction for this donation
When you donate your truck to Palmetto Wheels Exchange, you could typically receive a tax deduction ranging from $500 to the fair market value of your vehicle, depending on its condition and final sale price. We’ll provide you with IRS Form 1098-C, so you can claim your deduction when tax season rolls around. It's a win-win: you support local causes and make tax time a little easier!
Local context — South Carolina
Trucks in South Carolina come from various walks of life, often reflecting the needs of our residents. Common reasons for donating include downsizing, relocation, or simply upgrading to a newer model. Here in the Palmetto State, we have a rich culture of community support, where helping neighbors and families in need is a way of life. A truck that has helped with DIY projects in neighborhoods like Five Points or transported goods for local farms in the Upstate can continue its legacy through your generous donation.
