Donating your motorcycle in Texas has never been easier! Whether you’re cruising the scenic roads around Lake Travis or hitting one of the many trails in the Hill Country, Rev Up Giving makes the process simple and rewarding. You can help us fuel local charities while clearing out your garage. Every motorcycle, scooter, or ATV donation, running or not, has the power to change lives.
We understand that life happens—perhaps you’re downsizing after a change in lifestyle, or your trusty bike just isn’t cutting it anymore. Whatever the reason, your motorcycle can make a real difference. Just sign the title with the odometer reading, and we’ll take care of the rest. Experience a fast and friendly pickup that can turn your bike into a ticket for someone in need!

Condition & logistics
Running or Not
We accept motorcycles in any condition! Whether your bike is purring like a kitten or sitting still, it can still be a force for good. Just let us know its condition, and we’ll handle the rest.
Title Issues
For your motorcycle donation, we need the title signed with the odometer reading. If you’ve lost your title, don’t sweat it—just bring the necessary paperwork, and we’ll help you through the process.
Storage and Pickup Logistics
We make the pickup process as smooth as possible. If your motorcycle is collecting dust in your garage, we can schedule a free towing service at your convenience, making it a hassle-free experience.
Title transfer & paperwork
When donating a motorcycle in Texas, it's essential to complete the title transfer correctly. Make sure to sign the title and include the odometer reading. In some cases, notarization may be required if the motorcycle is financed. Don’t forget to remove the license plate before you hand over the bike. If you have any questions about specific Texas DMV forms, we’re here to help clarify the details!
Tax deduction for this donation
Your motorcycle donation can result in a significant tax deduction, often ranging from $500 to the full sale price if it sells for over $500. You’ll receive IRS Form 1098-C, which outlines your contribution, supporting your claim for a deduction. Keep in mind that the exact amount may vary based on the motorcycle’s condition and final sale value.
Local context — Texas
In Texas, motorcycle culture is thriving, from the bustling streets of Austin to the wide-open roads in the Hill Country. Many riders choose to donate when faced with life changes—divorce, downsizing, or even relocation. It’s not uncommon for folks to swap their bikes for trucks as they transition into new lifestyles. Whatever the reason, your motorcycle donation gets a second life, helping those in need.
