In the heart of Little Rock, your van or minivan can become a lifeline for families, local organizations, and small businesses. Whether it's a family vehicle that has seen better days or a workhorse that’s no longer needed, we at RideRescue make donating simple and impactful. Imagine your minivan helping a local church transport kids to summer camp or a cargo van supporting a non-profit's community outreach program.
Our donation process is straightforward, and we handle the logistics. You can be anywhere from downtown Little Rock to the outskirts near Pinnacle Mountain State Park, and we’ll ensure your vehicle is picked up at no cost to you. Join us in making a difference—your unwanted van can help drive change in our community!

Condition & logistics
Running vs. Not Running
We accept both running and non-running vans. Even if your vehicle won’t start, it still has value! Our team can handle the details to ensure it finds a new purpose.
Title Issues
Lost title? Don’t worry! As long as you're the legal owner, we can help you navigate the necessary paperwork to facilitate the donation, even if there are complications.
Storage and Pickup Logistics
We offer free towing and pickup from anywhere in Little Rock, so whether your van is parked in a driveway or an RV park, we’ll come to you. Just let us know where to find it!
Title transfer & paperwork
Transferring a vehicle title in Arkansas is a breeze. You’ll need to fill out the Standard Arkansas Vehicle Title Application and provide it to us upon donation. If there's a lien, it will need to be cleared first. In most cases, notarization isn’t necessary, but having the title signed over to RideRescue ensures that everything is on the up and up. Don’t forget to return your plates to the DMV, too!
Tax deduction for this donation
Tax deductions for donated vans can range from $500 to the sale price if the vehicle is sold by us. You’ll receive IRS Form 1098-C for your records, showing the donation details. While it’s wise to consult a tax professional, many donors find that their generous contributions can yield significant tax benefits come tax season.
Local context — Little Rock
Little Rock is a vibrant city with a diverse population, and vans are often the backbone of daily life. Many families donate minivans when they downsize or upgrade to newer models, while businesses sometimes part with their cargo vans after they no longer meet operational needs. Local culture thrives on community support, and when a vehicle is no longer serving its purpose, it's often turned into a charitable donation that makes a significant impact.
