If you have an ATV, UTV, or side-by-side gathering dust, consider donating it to Nutmeg Auto Aid in Connecticut. These rugged vehicles can significantly impact our community's support initiatives. Whether you're a hunter who has upgraded or a ranch owner with extra equipment, your donation can help fuel local programs that assist those in need.
Many donors find that their once-beloved recreational vehicles have become liabilities due to maintenance costs or reduced usage. By donating, you can turn that liability into a gift that keeps on giving. Our team at Nutmeg Auto Aid will ensure your donation experience is seamless, allowing you to feel good about your decision while making a difference in the community.

How pickup works
Our pickup process for ATVs, UTVs, and side-by-sides is designed to be hassle-free. Typically, we use a small flatbed or trailer for transportation, which allows us to collect vehicles from a variety of locations, including farms, hunting cabins, or storage lots. Even if you don't have the title for an off-road-only vehicle, we can assist with an MSO bill-of-sale chain, ensuring a smooth transition. If your vehicle has a VIN or engine number, we can work with that for identification as well. Just schedule a time with our team, and we'll take care of the rest!
What drives donation value
The value of your donated ATV, UTV, or side-by-side can vary based on several factors. First, keep in mind that for 4-stroke ATVs, hours of operation typically hold more weight than mileage. Models such as the Polaris RZR and Can-Am UTVs often command higher values in the used market, especially if they are well-maintained and come with service records. While cosmetic issues like dents or plastic fading may reduce value, operational functionality can lead to a premium. Even non-running units can have positive parts value, making your vehicle a worthy donation regardless of its current condition.
Documentation you need
- Title (if available)
- MSO for off-road vehicles
- Service records (if applicable)
- IRS Form 8283 Section B for classic vehicles
- Bill-of-sale documentation
Connecticut specifics
In Connecticut, the DMV has specific rules regarding the titling of ATVs and UTVs. While most off-road vehicles do not require a title, having a bill-of-sale is essential for smooth processing. Our team is knowledgeable about state regulations, ensuring that your donation is compliant, whether it's state-titled or operates solely on a bill-of-sale basis. We’ll guide you through any paperwork needed to make your donation as seamless as possible.
