In the heart of Tennessee, many outdoor enthusiasts own ATVs, UTVs, and side-by-sides that have served them well on trails, farms, and hunting trips. When it’s time for an upgrade or if your recreational ride has been retired, consider donating it to Volunteer Wheels. Your generous contribution can help us provide vital transportation solutions for those in need across the state.
Whether it's a rugged Polaris Sportsman or a dependable Honda Rancher, your vehicle can make a real difference. Many donors find joy in seeing their once-beloved machines continue to serve the community, giving others the chance to explore the beautiful landscapes of Tennessee or assist in essential services. Each donation not only clears space in your garage but also supports a greater cause.

How pickup works
Pickup for your ATV, UTV, or side-by-side is straightforward and convenient. Our team will coordinate with you to schedule a pickup time that fits your schedule. In most cases, we use a trailer or small flatbed for transport, especially for off-road vehicles that may not have a title. If you have a utility trailer to donate as well, we can accept that to maximize your contribution. Our staff is experienced in identifying vehicles using VIN or engine numbers, ensuring a smooth pickup process with minimal hassle for you.
What drives donation value
The value of your donated ATV, UTV, or side-by-side can be influenced by several factors. We look at the hours of use rather than mileage, which is especially important for 4-stroke models. Well-maintained equipment with service records tends to fetch higher values on the resale market. Additionally, while dents and plastic fade might bring the value down, a vehicle that runs well could still command a premium. Non-running units still hold parts value, providing you with a useful tax deduction to consider.
Documentation you need
- Title (if available)
- Manufacturer's Statement of Origin (MSO) for off-road vehicles
- Service records to support valuation
- IRS Form 8283 for high-value donations
- Appraisal documentation for classic models
Tennessee specifics
In Tennessee, the laws surrounding ATV and UTV donations are straightforward. For vehicles used exclusively off-road, a bill of sale is often sufficient, and a title may not be required. However, for vehicles that have been registered for on-road use, having a title ready can streamline the donation process. Our team at Volunteer Wheels is well-versed in local regulations and can help guide you through any necessary paperwork to ensure a smooth transaction.
