In Orlando, having a car without a title doesn’t mean you’re out of options. Whether it’s a classic ride gathering dust in your garage off Orange Avenue or a vehicle left behind from a family inheritance in Winter Park, we’re here to help you turn that burden into a charitable opportunity. Donating a car without a title is not only possible, but it can also ease the hassle of paperwork while providing you with a tax deduction.

That’s why we’ll guide you through obtaining duplicate titles if needed, making the donation process smooth and straightforward. Say goodbye to that unwanted vehicle and hello to the possibility of helping local charities throughout the great city of Orlando!
What we accept
- Lost title vehicle (we can help with duplicate titles)
- Abandoned cars (vehicles left on property or parks)

- Flood-damaged vehicles (you can still donate for a cause)

Condition & logistics
Running vs Not
Whether your car is parked and operational or has seen better days, we accept both running and non-running vehicles. We handle all the logistics for you, so you don’t have to worry about getting it to us.
Title Issues
Missing title? No problem! We’ll help you understand the process for obtaining a duplicate title in Florida, so a piece of paper doesn’t stand between you and your donation.
Storage/Pickup Logistics
We provide free towing for your vehicle, whether it's parked at your home or a marina. Just let us know where it is, and we’ll arrange the pickup hassle-free!
Title transfer & paperwork
In Florida, if you find yourself without a title, don't fret; you can still donate your vehicle. You'll need to complete Form HSMV 82101 for a duplicate title and get it notarized. If your car is abandoned or inherited, different regulations may apply. Remember, you also need to return the license plate and fill out a Notice of Sale. Our team at Orlando Auto Ally will streamline this process to ensure you meet all DMV requirements.
Tax deduction for this donation
Your donation can offer a tax deduction, typically ranging from $500 to the vehicle's fair market value if sold for more. After your donation, we'll provide you with IRS Form 1098-C, which outlines the fair market value. It’s essential for your tax records, and we make this hassle-free so you can focus on what matters.
Local context — Orlando
Orlando is a city of transitions, from families relocating to the suburbs of Lake Nona to empty-nesters downsizing in College Park. Many vehicles without titles come from various situations—maybe you’re clearing out an old family home or dealing with a car that failed inspection. The vibrant local culture and community organizations often benefit from these generous donations. Every car, regardless of its title status, can play a role in supporting local charities that serve our neighborhoods.
