Step-by-step timeline
Submit the Donation Form
Begin by filling out our quick online form with your vehicle details and preferred pickup time. This helps us understand your situation and coordinate effectively.
Confirm Donation Details
A dispatcher will reach out to confirm your details and finalize the pickup schedule. We’ll ask about your vehicle's condition and any specific instructions for the tow.
Prepare for Towing
Gather necessary items such as the title and keys, and ensure the vehicle is accessible. We also suggest freeing up space for our tow truck to operate efficiently.
Pickup Day Communication
On the pickup day, our team will contact you to confirm the estimated time of arrival. Be ready as we aim for punctuality while navigating logistics.
Towing and Donation Confirmation
Our tow truck will arrive, and our operators will take care of the vehicle. Once towed, you’ll receive a receipt confirming your donation, with IRS documentation sent afterward.
What you need ready
- Vehicle title (signed if available)
- Keys for the vehicle
- Confirmation of your address
- Clear access path for the tow truck
- Any specific instructions for vehicle pickup
Honest expectations
While we strive to accommodate requests for same-day pickups, this may not always be possible due to scheduling and location factors. Weekend and after-hours pickups can also be limited but will be communicated during the scheduling process. If your vehicle is in a remote area or if towing could encounter significant obstacles, we may need to adjust timelines. Our goal is transparency to ensure your experience is as smooth as possible!
How pickup logistics work
Our dispatch team works closely with a network of local tow operators to coordinate each pickup seamlessly. You’ll be informed of the tow operator’s arrival time, and we encourage you to keep lines of communication open. Should any unexpected issues arise, our team is ready to assist you with alternative arrangements or updates as needed.
Ohio pickup notes
In Ohio, we benefit from a robust network of tow operators spread across urban, suburban, and rural areas. While pickups are generally efficient in metropolitan regions, rural locations may experience slight delays due to longer travel distances. Local regulations, such as HOA permits or street-parking rules, might also affect pickup logistics. Our team will guide you through these considerations, ensuring a smooth process.
