In the vibrant outdoors of New York, many people find joy in off-roading adventures with ATVs, UTVs, and side-by-sides. Whether it’s a robust Honda Rancher used for farm work or a thrilling Polaris RZR for weekend escapades, these vehicles are integral to many New Yorkers’ lives. However, as circumstances change, there may come a time when you consider donating your vehicle.

How pickup works
Pickup for your donated ATV, UTV, or side-by-side is designed to be convenient and efficient. Our team typically utilizes a trailer or small flatbed to safely transport your vehicle. For off-road-only vehicles, a title might not be available; instead, we'll require a Manufacturer's Statement of Origin (MSO) and a bill-of-sale chain for proper documentation. Our logistics team will coordinate with you to finalize pickup details, ensuring a smooth process whether your vehicle is parked at a farm, ranch, or hunting cabin, or even in your garage. We can also accept utility trailers as part of your donation.
What drives donation value
Several factors influence the value of your donated ATV or UTV. Typically, vehicles with more hours than mileage—especially 4-stroke models—can command higher donation values. Well-maintained equipment with comprehensive service records will also attract a premium, whereas signs of wear like dents or plastic fade may lead to discounts on the final valuation. Notably, popular models like the Polaris RZR and Can-Am UTV often retain strong values in the used market. Even non-running units can still hold positive parts value, allowing you to maximize the benefits of your donation.
Documentation you need
- Manufacturer's Statement of Origin (MSO) for off-road vehicles
- Bill of sale for documentation

- Title if applicable
- Appraisal for classic vehicles (IRS Form 8283 Section B)
New York specifics
In New York, the DMV has specific guidelines for off-road vehicles like ATVs and UTVs. Many of these vehicles do not require state titling; instead, a bill-of-sale suffices for donation purposes. If you have an ATV or UTV that’s intended for off-road use only, it’s particularly important to consult with us about its documentation, as our streamlined process is designed to accommodate the unique requirements of each vehicle type.
