After the pickup, you’ll receive a confirmation and a promise of your IRS 1098-C form, mailed once the vehicle is sold. This will help you with tax deductions.

Honest expectations
While we strive to accommodate requests for same-day pickups and after-hours service, there are limitations based on availability and local regulations. For example, during busy summer months, pickups might be easier due to longer daylight hours. However, we recommend scheduling your donation in advance to ensure a smooth process, especially if you have specific timing needs. Weekend pickups may also be available but are subject to dispatcher workload and tow truck availability.
How pickup logistics work
Our dispatchers play a crucial role in coordinating the pickup process. Once you fill out the donation form, they will communicate with you to arrange the specifics of your vehicle pickup. Our network of local tow operators works efficiently to ensure your car is collected safely and hassle-free. Stay connected with our team throughout the process to address any concerns or changes in schedule.
