Many Fort Worth residents have ATVs, UTVs, or side-by-sides parked in their garages or barns, often used for hunting, ranching, or family outdoor adventures. However, as lifestyles change, these vehicles may no longer see the trails or fields they once frequented. Donating your well-loved machine can turn what was once a personal pastime into a meaningful contribution that supports community initiatives and programs.

Whether it's a rugged Honda FourTrax or a powerful Polaris RZR, your generous donation will help fund local opportunities and services that empower the people of Fort Worth.

How pickup works
Pickup for your ATV, UTV, or side-by-side is a straightforward process at Drive Change. Our team typically utilizes a small flatbed truck or trailer to collect your vehicle, ensuring a smooth and safe transport. If your machine is off-road-only and lacks a title, don’t worry! We can work with a Manufacturer's Statement of Origin (MSO) or a simple bill of sale. Our experienced team will help identify your vehicle using either its VIN or engine number for accurate processing. Coordination with local farms, ranches, or hunting cabins is common, simplifying the logistics for everyone involved.
What drives donation value
The value of your ATV, UTV, or side-by-side can vary significantly based on several factors. For instance, vehicles with more hours than mileage tend to hold a stronger resale value, particularly for 4-stroke models. Popular models like the Polaris RZR or Can-Am UTV often show robust values in the used market. Well-maintained equipment with comprehensive service records can also net a better return. However, expect discounts for cosmetic issues like dents and plastic fade, though a well-running vehicle will always command a premium. Even non-running units may have positive value based on parts availability.
Documentation you need
- Title (if available)
- Manufacturer's Statement of Origin (for off-road vehicles)
- Bill of Sale documentation (if no title)
- Service records (if available)
- Appraisal for classic vehicles (IRS Form 8283 Section B)
Fort Worth specifics
In Fort Worth, Texas, the DMV has specific guidelines for off-road vehicles. ATVs, UTVs, and side-by-sides are often registered differently from standard automobiles, typically relying on a bill of sale for those without titles. This local context makes it essential for donors to understand their options, ensuring you can make a hassle-free donation while benefiting from potential tax deductions.
