Charitable Donation Vehicle Appraisals
Document a vehicle’s market value when donating it to a charity, based on the charity’s stated requirements.
A Clear Value for a Vehicle You Are Giving.
Before arranging a vehicle donation, a charity or adviser may ask for an independent appraisal. We confirm the intended use, review the vehicle’s details and available condition evidence, and prepare a market-value opinion for the agreed date.
How We Help
- Confirm the charity’s appraisal instructions and intended use.
- Review vehicle details, photographs and relevant market comparisons.
- Provide a written value opinion with its basis and limitations.
Who This Service Is For
For vehicle donors and charities requesting a vehicle appraisal. Confirm the recipient’s requirements before ordering the report.
Does the appraisal issue a charitable tax receipt?
No. The charity handles receipting. Our service provides a vehicle valuation and does not guarantee tax treatment or the amount of a receipt.
Can you value a non-running vehicle?
Describe the condition, known issues and location. We will confirm whether the available evidence is sufficient and what appraisal work is appropriate.
Practical Appraisal Guidance
Donation Value and Tax Receipts Are Separate Matters
A donation appraisal can support an opinion of fair market value for the specified asset and date. The organization issuing any receipt is responsible for its own requirements.
Valuation date
Record when the vehicle is being valued and the intended recipient’s documentation requirements.
Vehicle documentation
Confirm the VIN, year, trim, kilometres, condition, features and available supporting records.
Receipt requirements
Ask the registered charity or tax adviser what evidence is required. A vehicle appraisal does not itself issue or guarantee a tax receipt.
