Not only do we take motorcycles, scooters, mopeds, and ATVs, but we handle all the logistics to make the process as smooth as those Vermont backroads.

Title transfer & paperwork
Transferring the title for your motorcycle in Vermont is straightforward. You’ll need to sign the title on the back, ensuring you fill out the odometer reading. If applicable, you might require a Bill of Sale or a notarized document for the DMV. Don’t forget to return your license plates to avoid any confusion down the road. Check the Vermont DMV website for specific forms related to motorcycle transfers.
Tax deduction for this donation
Your motorcycle donation can qualify you for a tax deduction, typically ranging from $500 to the sale price if your motorcycle is sold for more. We’ll provide you with IRS Form 1098-C, which details your charitable contribution, so you can accurately report it during tax season.
Local context — Vermont
Motorcycles in Vermont come from all corners of this beautiful state—whether it’s from the streets of Burlington or the winding trails around Stowe, we see plenty of bikes looking for new homes. Local riders often donate due to life changes such as downsizing, moving to a new city, or simply finding their bike no longer fits their lifestyle. The rich motorcycle culture here celebrates freedom and adventure, making donations a meaningful way to give back to the community.
