Running vs. Not Running
We accept both running and non-running vans and minivans. Don’t let mechanical issues deter you from donating; your vehicle can still make a significant impact.
Title Issues
If your van or minivan has title issues, don’t worry! We can help navigate the paperwork. Just reach out to us for assistance in resolving any title-related concerns.
Storage and Pickup Logistics
If you’re worried about where to keep your vehicle before donation, we can arrange a seamless pickup right from your driveway or garage. We make this as hassle-free as possible.
Title transfer & paperwork
In Minnesota, transferring the title of your donated van or minivan is a straightforward process. Ensure you complete a transfer by filling out the necessary DMV form and signing it over to Revive Auto. Notarization is not required, but you must return the license plates to the Minnesota DMV. If you need help with any of this, our team is ready to assist you through every step of the process.
Tax deduction for this donation
When you donate your van or minivan, you may be eligible for a tax deduction ranging from $500 to the sale price of the vehicle. You’ll receive IRS Form 1098-C, which will detail the donation for your records. Remember to consult with a tax professional for specific guidance to make the most of your contribution.
Local context — St. Paul
In St. Paul, van and minivan donations often come from various life changes—whether it’s families downsizing, individuals relocating, or cars failing inspection. Our community culture places a strong emphasis on aiding one another. From the vibrant neighborhoods along the Mississippi River to the bustling streets of downtown, St. Paul residents understand the value of giving back.
Many donations also stem from the practicalities of everyday life: businesses upgrading their fleets and families moving up to newer vehicles. Whatever the reason, each van donation contributes to building stronger bonds within our community.
