If you’re ready to donate your car in Virginia today, AutoHeritage Donate can get you scheduled in just a couple of minutes. Call now or start the 2‑minute online form, and a live Heritage for the Blind coordinator (a real 501(c)(3) charity) will confirm your vehicle and location. In most Virginia metro areas — including Northern Virginia, Richmond, Hampton Roads, and Roanoke — we can arrange same‑day weekday pickup when you contact us before noon, or the very next business day.
The process is fast and local to where you live. Tell us your year, make, model, condition, and exact pickup address — whether you’re in Alexandria, Arlington, Fairfax, Virginia Beach, Norfolk, Chesapeake, Newport News, Fredericksburg, Charlottesville, Lynchburg, or smaller towns in between. Your car does not need to run; we send a tow truck or flatbed at no cost to you. You hand over the keys and signed title, we tow it away, and after the vehicle sells (typically within about 30 days) you receive a written tax receipt that meets IRS Form 1098‑C requirements for donations over $500. Start now and your driveway could be clear by tonight or tomorrow.

Schedule same-day or next-business-day pickup
Same day or 24 hoursFor most metro calls before noon on weekdays, we can dispatch a tow truck or flatbed the same day. Otherwise, we set the next business day that works for you, including mornings, afternoons, or early evenings where available.
Free towing and handoff in your driveway
15–30 minutesOur driver meets you at your Virginia home, office, or repair shop. The vehicle does not have to run. You hand over keys and the signed title, complete a simple pickup receipt, and your driveway or parking space is instantly clear.
Vehicle sale and tax-deduction paperwork
Within ~30 daysAfter pickup, your vehicle is sold to maximize its value. Typically within about 30 days, AutoHeritage Donate mails you a written tax receipt from Heritage for the Blind that fully satisfies IRS Form 1098‑C rules for donations over $500.
Why the process is genuinely fast
Same-day pickup in most Virginia metros
Call before noon on a weekday from areas like Northern Virginia, Richmond, or Hampton Roads and, in most cases, we can have your car or SUV picked up the very same day, or the next business day at the latest.
2-minute start from anywhere in Virginia
Whether you’re in Arlington, Virginia Beach, Roanoke, or a smaller town, it only takes about two minutes to begin by phone or online. That short step locks in your donation and gets our dispatch team moving right away.
Monday–Saturday live dispatch coordinators
You’re never stuck waiting for a callback. From Monday through Saturday, a real coordinator answers, confirms your car’s details, and coordinates a local tow truck so you know exactly when your pickup will happen.
Non-running and damaged vehicles welcome
No need to repair or even start the car. We regularly pick up non-running, wrecked, or failed-inspection vehicles across Virginia using a free flatbed or tow truck, so you can donate even if it’s been sitting for months.
No inspection, photos, or hassles required
We don’t require pre-donation inspections or lengthy paperwork. Once we verify your basic vehicle information and title, we schedule towing and handle the rest, so your donation moves forward immediately without delays.
