Need your car gone fast in Virginia? With AutoHeritage Donate, same-day pickup is often available in Richmond, Northern Virginia, Hampton Roads, and other metro areas when you call before noon on a weekday. In most other parts of the state—from Roanoke and Blacksburg to Charlottesville and Fredericksburg—you can expect free pickup within 24–48 hours. Your car does not need to run, pass inspection, or be insured; you just need a signed Virginia title in hand.
Here’s how it works for donors across Virginia. You start with a quick 2-minute call or online form, then our Heritage for the Blind dispatch team (operating Monday–Saturday) assigns a licensed local tow partner near you. They’ll contact you directly to lock in a pickup window that matches your deadline—whether that’s before your insurance lapses, before a move-out date in Arlington, or to clear a tight garage in Virginia Beach. The tow truck comes to your home, office, or storage lot, loads the vehicle, and you’ll receive a tax-deduction receipt by mail. It’s fast, free, and turns your unwanted car into vital support for people who are blind or visually impaired.

Same day or within 24–48 hoursOnce your car is towed, your garage, curb, or parking spot in places like Fairfax, Chesapeake, or Lynchburg is finally clear. Your insurance clock stops once you cancel coverage, and you’ve met your moving or HOA deadline without paying storage, repairs, or listing fees.

For donations over the IRS threshold, you may use Form 1098-C when you file, following current IRS guidelines for charitable vehicle contributions.

Monday–Saturday dispatch team
Heritage for the Blind’s dispatch operates Monday through Saturday, giving you six days a week of scheduling flexibility. This makes tight deadlines—like a weekend move or expiring insurance—much easier to meet across Virginia.
Non-running and failed-inspection cars welcome
Your vehicle does not need to run, start, or pass Virginia safety or emissions inspection to qualify for fast pickup. Even wrecked, dead, or undrivable cars can usually be towed same-day or next-day at no cost to you.
No repairs, no inspection, no out-of-pocket cost
Skip DMV inspection lines, repair shops, and listing fees. There’s no cost for pickup anywhere in Virginia, and you don’t have to fix or re-register the vehicle. Just sign the title and be ready for the tow truck arrival.
