Wondering how fast you can get that car out of your Virginia driveway? With AutoHeritage Donate, most donors go from their first call or online form to a cleared driveway in just 24–48 hours. In many Virginia metro areas, we can even arrange same-day pickup. You start with a quick 2‑minute form or phone call, and our local coordinator takes it from there—scheduling your free tow, guiding you through the title, and making sure your tax paperwork arrives after the vehicle sells.
We work across Virginia—from Richmond, Henrico, and Midlothian, to Virginia Beach, Norfolk, Chesapeake, and Newport News, up through Northern Virginia communities like Alexandria, Arlington, Fairfax, and Woodbridge, plus Roanoke, Harrisonburg, and Charlottesville. Once you submit your donation, we connect you with a tow partner who can usually come out the same day or next business day, Monday through Saturday, at no cost to you. You’ll sign over the Virginia title at pickup (or mail it soon after if needed), and your car is gone—no inspection, no repairs, no hassle. Proceeds support Heritage for the Blind, and you receive a written tax acknowledgment shortly after the vehicle is sold.

Tow Truck Arrives and Your Driveway Clears

The driver does a quick visual check, loads your vehicle, and tows it away—running or not—with zero towing fees. From arrival to departure is typically under half an hour, and your space is immediately cleared.
Sign or Mail the Virginia Title
5–10 minutesIf you have the Virginia title ready, you’ll sign it over at pickup following simple instructions from our coordinator and the tow driver. If you need a bit more time, you can mail the signed title within a few days. Either way, paperwork is straightforward and we’re available to answer any questions.
Vehicle Sells & You Receive Tax Acknowledgment
Mailed or emailed within a few business days of saleOnce your donated vehicle is processed and sold, AutoHeritage Donate sends you a written acknowledgment for your records.

Why the process is genuinely fast
Most Virginia pickups in 24–48 hours
From Richmond to Alexandria, most donors see their car gone in just 24–48 hours from first contact. We prioritize fast scheduling so you’re not waiting days or weeks for a tow truck to clear your driveway.
Same-day pickup often available
In many Virginia metro areas—like Virginia Beach, Norfolk, Arlington, and Fairfax—same-day pickup is often available when you contact us early in the day and the vehicle is accessible. Your coordinator will offer the earliest open slot.
2‑minute start to lock in your spot
The entire process starts with a quick 2‑minute form or phone call. Once you submit, your request is in our dispatch queue right away, so you can grab one of the earliest pickup windows in your part of Virginia.
Monday–Saturday dispatch for flexibility
We schedule pickups Monday through Saturday, giving busy Virginia donors more options around work, kids’ activities, and commuting. Your coordinator works with you to find a time window that actually fits your schedule.
Non-running cars and no inspection needed
Your vehicle doesn’t have to run or pass inspection. We accept most cars as-is—no repairs, emissions test, or safety inspection required—so you can get that non-running or failed-inspection car out of your driveway quickly.
