Most car and other vehicle donations are acceptable. Most cars or vehicles
do not need to be running. It depends on the year of the car or vehicle
and its condition.
In our experience we have found that Teddy Bear Cops™ car donation
charity accepts more vehicles than most other charities.
We suggest you fill out the online
donation form as we will let you know within hours if the vehicle
is accepted.
Most boats that have trailers are picked up. Some larger boats, without
trailers are also accepted. We accept many RVs, motor homes, trucks, etc.
Motorcycles are accepted. Pop-up campers are not accepted.

Your old car, truck, boat, motorcycle, RV or other vehicle will not be
junked. You can turn that vehicle into a bunch of teddy bears to help children
in crisis. Our country's resources are not wasted.

The Certificate of Title is a document that proves ownership of
the vehicle. The only way to transfer ownership is to have a Certificate
of Title, called the Title...sometimes referred to as the "pink slip".
In order to complete the donation process, as described above, the title
must be present and signed off by the donor so that the new owner can
assume ownership and responsibility.
If you have lost your title you can usually obtain a duplicate within
hours or days depending on the state you are in. Be sure to inquire and
be sure to ask about fast turnaround. Sometimes there is a small fee for
a fast turnaround.
Donating a vehicle without a title means the donor is still responsible
for anything that occurs to the vehicle after it leaves his or her hands.
Of course the vehicle would have to be paid up and there can be no bank
loan (lien) showing on the title.
If a vehicle is picked up without the title the charity may have to pay
storage fees, so we insist, unless the vehicle is very valuable, that
the signed off title be presented at the time of pickup.
