Looking for car donation near you? Here is how nationwide free towing works, typical timelines, and how to prepare for pickup day.
Free pickup nationwide — cars, trucks, SUVs, vans, and boats, running or not.
Call 888-579-5544Vehicle donation runs on a national network of licensed, insured tow operators, not on storefronts. That means donors in rural counties get the same free pickup as donors in major metros, and you never drive the vehicle anywhere.
Pickup is available in all 50 states, including addresses without a paved driveway or with the vehicle parked on a street, in a garage, or behind a gate.
Most pickups are scheduled within 24 to 72 hours of your call, with same-week service standard even in remote areas. The tow operator calls ahead with a window and confirms access details.
If your vehicle is in a tight space, in an apartment complex, or in an impound-style lot, say so when you book so the right equipment is dispatched.
Signed title, keys, and a clear path to the vehicle. Remove personal items, license plates if your state requires it, and any aftermarket equipment you intend to keep.
You will get a tow receipt on the spot listing the date, vehicle, and operator. Photograph it before it leaves your hands.
Cars, trucks, SUVs, vans, and boats are accepted, running or not. Blown engines, failed inspections, body damage, expired registration, and high mileage do not disqualify a vehicle.
If it has a VIN and you have the right to give it away, there is almost certainly a path to donating it.
Your local pickup supports veteran programs funded by the net proceeds after towing, processing, title transfer, and administration. State and city pages on this site list local details, but the process is identical everywhere.
