Since 2015, Goodwill Car Donations has been transforming unwanted vehicles into meaningful opportunities for people in need all across the country. By choosing to donate your old scooter, you’re doing more than just clearing out extra space. In fact, you’re giving someone else the chance to move forward toward a brighter future.
On this page, you’ll see just how simple it is to donate a scooter and how your contribution can help provide education, job training and essential support for individuals facing challenges. Our streamlined, cost-free process makes it easy to give, while also securing you a valuable tax deduction without the headache of paperwork or complicated steps.
If the idea of selling your scooter feels overwhelming, donating it is an easy, rewarding alternative. By the time you finish reading, you’ll understand how a single scooter donation can spark real change in someone’s life and give you the satisfaction of knowing you’ve made a difference while lightening your own load.
If you’re ready for a faster, more powerful motorbike and want to enjoy the thrill of the open road, it’s time to let go of that old scooter you’ve already outgrown. Selling it may feel like more hassle than it’s worth, especially if your two-wheeler is worn and no longer reliable. Instead, here’s a better option: donate it to us at Goodwill Car Donations.
By handing over your scooter, you’ll clear out space quickly and easily while doing something meaningful for others. Your donation goes directly to support programs that help struggling individuals in your community build better lives.
How Your Scooter Donation Can Make a Difference in Your Community
When you donate a scooter, we place it in an auction and give the proceeds to the Goodwill organizations near you. These IRS-certified 501(c)(3) nonprofits focus on helping disadvantaged Americans. Those without access to education, job opportunities or essential skills, as well as individuals facing barriers like disabilities, dependence on welfare or a history of incarceration.
Your local Goodwill groups use these funds to provide:
- Job and skills training
- Employment opportunities
- Scholarships
- Livelihood assistance
- Disability benefits
- Family support
- Educational services
- Financial assistance
- Other essential support services
Through these programs, your scooter donation helps people unlock their potential and secure stable work and income. In other words, your simple act of giving directly supports your neighbors in need and helps them take important steps toward a brighter future.
A Hassle-Free Donation Process You’ll Love
At Goodwill Car Donations, we want your donation experience to be smooth and stress-free. That’s why we’ve simplified everything into a process you can complete in minutes. All you have to do is let us know you’re ready to donate, and our team will handle everything else.
Our scooter donation program involves three quick steps:
First, contact us.
Fill out our online donation form or call us at 866-233-8586. Share a few basic details about your scooter (its year, make, model, VIN, mileage) and your contact information.
Second, set a pickup time.
After verifying your information, we’ll call you to schedule a free pickup. You choose the time, date and place most convenient for you. We’ll tow your scooter at no cost, anywhere in the country.
Third, receive your tax-deductible receipt.
A few days after your scooter sells, we’ll mail you a 100% tax-deductible receipt. This document allows you to claim your tax deduction during the next filing season. To maximize your benefit, we work to sell your scooter for the best price possible.
If you have any questions, contact us at 866-233-8586 or visit our FAQs page for more details about our donation program.
The Rewards You’ll Get for Supporting Our Cause
Donating a Vespa, Honda, Yamaha, Genuine Scooter Company or Kymco scooter to Goodwill means giving back while also enjoying benefits for yourself. Here’s what you can look forward to:
- Get entitled to claim the maximum tax deduction.
Your donation qualifies you for a top tax deduction. Because your deduction is based on the scooter’s final selling price, we aim to secure the highest sale possible so you can enjoy the biggest deduction at tax time. - Dispose of your scooter at zero cost.
Thanks to our free towing service, you won’t spend a dime. Just give us your address and schedule a convenient time, and we’ll send a licensed team to pick it up. - No paperwork to deal with.
Our donation specialists take care of everything, from title transfer to issuing your tax receipt. Even if you’ve misplaced your title, we’ll help you get a replacement. - Avoid the frustrations associated with selling.
Selling a scooter with problems is stressful. You waste time and money fixing it, advertising and haggling with buyers. By donating it as-is, you skip all of that and still make a difference. - Save money.
Once you donate, you’re free from repair bills, maintenance costs and other expenses that come with keeping an old scooter. - Feel the joy of giving.
Knowing your donation helps disadvantaged people in your community brings a sense of fulfillment that money can’t buy. Every gift has the power to transform lives.
