Many Ohioans find joy in the great outdoors, often using ATVs and UTVs to explore the rugged terrain that our beautiful state offers. However, when adventures fade, these vehicles can sit idle, taking up valuable space. With Buckeye Auto Gifts, you can turn that unused ATV or UTV into a source of hope and assistance for local charities. Donating your vehicle not only benefits you but also uplifts those in need throughout our communities.
Whether you have a well-loved Honda FourTrax from your family’s farming days or a sporty Can-Am Commander from your last hunting trip, your donation can make a significant impact. Donors frequently come from farm, ranch, and hunting backgrounds, looking to support causes close to their hearts while making room for new adventures. Join us in making a meaningful contribution to Ohio’s charitable landscape through your vehicle donation.

How pickup works
At Buckeye Auto Gifts, we make the vehicle donation process as smooth as possible. If you’re donating an ATV, UTV, or side-by-side, our team will coordinate a convenient pickup time. For off-road-only vehicles, it’s common to not have a title, but we can work with a Manufacturer's Statement of Origin (MSO) or a bill-of-sale chain. We utilize flatbed trucks or enclosed trailers to ensure your vehicle arrives safely. Our team is well-versed in identifying vehicles using VIN or engine numbers, making the identification process hassle-free. If you also have a utility trailer to donate, we can take that off your hands too!
What drives donation value
The donation value of your ATV, UTV, or side-by-side can be influenced by several factors. Generally, vehicles with more hours than mileage, like 4-stroke ATVs, may hold more value, as they indicate usage rather than wear from the road. Models like Polaris RZR and Can-Am UTVs command strong prices in the used market, especially if they’re well-maintained and come with service records. Be aware that while dents or plastic fade can lower value, a premium exists for vehicles that are still operational. Even non-running units can provide positive parts value, making your donation worthwhile.
Documentation you need
- MSO or title for off-road vehicles
- Bill of sale for no-title units
- Service records, if available
- Appraisal for classic ATVs/UTVs (IRS Form 8283 Section B)
Ohio specifics
In Ohio, it’s important to note how the DMV classifies ATVs, UTVs, and side-by-sides regarding titling. Often, off-road vehicles are not state-titled, and the MSO or a detailed bill of sale will suffice for donations. Understanding this helps streamline your donation process. Additionally, Ohio’s regulations around these vehicles can differ from state to state, emphasizing the need for honest, accurate paperwork to ensure a smooth transfer.
