How pickup works
When you donate your ATV, UTV, or side-by-side to Gulf Wheels, we'll handle the logistics for you! Our team typically arranges for pickup using a flatbed truck or trailer, ensuring a safe and efficient process. It's common for off-road-only vehicles to have no title, but we work with an MSO bill-of-sale chain to facilitate your donation. If your vehicle is in a storage lot, we'll coordinate with you for easy access. For added convenience, we can also accept utility trailers if they're in good condition. Just let us know your vehicle's VIN or engine number, and we’ll take care of the rest.
What drives donation value
The value of your donated ATV, UTV, or side-by-side largely depends on its condition and maintenance history. Vehicles with low mileage or those with hours logged more than mileage often command higher values, especially 4-stroke ATVs. Models like the Polaris RZR and Can-Am UTVs typically hold strong on the used market. A well-maintained vehicle with service records will net a better donation value, while a small dent or faded plastic may affect pricing. Interestingly, even non-running units can still contribute positive parts value, making every donation worthwhile.
Documentation you need
- Title (if available)
- Manufacturer's Statement of Origin (MSO) for off-road vehicles
