How pickup works
Picking up your ATV, UTV, or side-by-side is straightforward with Drive Forward. Most often, we’ll arrange for a flatbed or small trailer pickup, especially if the vehicle doesn’t have a title. For off-road-only vehicles, we typically work with a Manufacturer’s Statement of Origin (MSO) or a bill of sale to verify ownership.
Our team will coordinate with you for a hassle-free pickup experience. Whether your vehicle is parked at a farm, ranch, or even a hunting cabin, we’ll ensure it’s safely loaded and transported, so you can feel good about your donation.
What drives donation value
Several factors influence the donation value of your ATV or UTV. Generally, vehicles with more operational hours than mileage on their 4-stroke engines tend to hold better value. Popular models like the Polaris RZR and Can-Am UTVs often see strong resale values in the used market. Well-maintained equipment that includes service records can net a higher donation value, while any dent marks or faded plastics might result in a minor discount. Notably, even non-running units have positive parts value, meaning your donation can still make a difference!
Documentation you need
- Title (if available)
- Manufacturer's Statement of Origin (MSO) for off-road vehicles
- Bill of Sale document
- Service records for maintenance history
- Appraisal for classic models (IRS Form 8283 Section B)
