When you donate your car, you can expect a straightforward experience. After filling out our online form, a dispatcher will contact you to arrange a convenient pickup time.

Step-by-step timeline
Fill Out Donation Form
Start your donation process by filling out our online form. Provide details about your vehicle, including its condition and location, to facilitate accurate scheduling.
Dispatcher Contact
Once submitted, our dispatcher will reach out to confirm your information, discuss potential pickup times, and answer any questions you may have about the donation.
Schedule Pickup
You'll work with the dispatcher to agree on a convenient date and time for towing. We do our best to accommodate your preferences, but timing may vary based on dispatcher availability.
Prepare Vehicle
Before the tow truck arrives, ensure you have the vehicle title, keys, and any necessary documents ready. This will help streamline the pickup process and ensure everything proceeds smoothly.
Tow Truck Arrival
On pickup day, our tow operator will arrive at the scheduled time. They'll help you finalize the paperwork, including signing over the title, and efficiently load your vehicle for transport.
What you need ready
- Vehicle title (if available)
- Keys to the vehicle
- Signed release form
- Confirmation of pickup address
- Clear access path for the tow truck
- Information on vehicle's current working condition
Honest expectations
While we strive to offer convenient pickup options, same-day service may not always be feasible, especially in rural areas or during peak times. Weekend and after-hours pickups can be arranged, but availability varies. Donors should be prepared for possible scheduling delays, particularly if additional paperwork is needed for vehicles that do not have a title. Rest assured, we will work to accommodate your needs as best as we can.
How pickup logistics work
Coordination is key to ensuring a smooth towing process. Our dispatch team communicates closely with a network of locally based tow operators, enabling us to optimize pickup schedules and minimize delays. Once scheduled, you’ll receive a confirmation of your tow time, and our operators will keep you updated on their arrival. We aim to make this process as seamless and transparent as possible for our donors.
Minneapolis pickup notes
In Minneapolis, we benefit from a densely populated area with a robust network of tow operators, facilitating easier vehicle pickup. However, if you're located in extreme rural regions or have specific HOA or street-parking regulations, it’s important to let us know ahead of time. Access to your vehicle plays a significant role in the logistics of towing, so ensure your vehicle is accessible to avoid complications during pickup.
