Condition & logistics
Running vs Not Running
We happily accept vans in any condition! Whether your minivan is still cruising the streets or it's become an immobile fixture in your driveway, each donation contributes to supporting local families and organizations.

If your van has title issues, don't worry! We can help navigate those problems. Just let us know the details, and our team will assist you in securing the necessary documents for a smooth donation.
Storage/Pickup Logistics
Worried about where to store your van before donation? No problem! We handle pickup logistics for you. Just tell us where the van is parked, and we'll come to you at your convenience.
Title transfer & paperwork
In Ohio, transferring the title for your donated van or minivan is straightforward. You’ll need to fill out the 'Ohio Title Application' form. While notarization isn’t always required, it's a good idea to get your title notarized to avoid any issues. Remember to remove your license plates and return them to the local BMV, ensuring everything is legally cleared before you pass your vehicle on to us.
Tax deduction for this donation
When you donate your van or minivan to Revive Wheels, you may be eligible for a tax deduction ranging between $500 and the sale price if it's sold for more. Don't forget to ask for IRS Form 1098-C, which documents your donation value and can help you claim your deduction during tax time.
Local context — Cincinnati
In Cincinnati, many vans find their way to us from neighborhoods like Oakley or Northside, where families and businesses evolve. Life changes—like downsizing after kids move out or relocating for new work—often lead to van donations. The vibrant local culture, from bustling tailgate parties at the Bengals games to serene picnics at Smale Riverfront Park, means these vehicles have served their purpose and are ready for a second life.
