You can start and complete your Island Wheels car donation in Hawaii today. If you contact us Monday–Saturday before noon in most metro areas, we can usually schedule a same-day pickup; otherwise, we’ll arrange the next business day. Your car does not need to run, and towing is always free. As soon as you submit the quick 2-minute form or call to speak with a live coordinator, we confirm your details and lock in your pickup window right away.
Here’s how it works for donors across Hawaiʻi—from Honolulu, Kāneʻohe, and Kapolei on Oʻahu, to Kahului and Lahaina on Maui, to Līhuʻe on Kauaʻi and Hilo and Kona on Hawaiʻi Island. You either call Island Wheels (handled for Heritage for the Blind) or start the short online form. A coordinator reviews your vehicle’s year, make, model, condition, and exact location—whether it’s in a condo garage in Kakaʻako, a driveway in Mililani, or on a farm road near Waimea. We match you with a local towing partner, schedule your free flatbed pickup, and you clear your parking space without inspections or repairs. After your vehicle sells, you receive a written tax receipt that fully covers IRS Form 1098-C requirements for donations over $500.

Talk to a live coordinator
5–10 minutesMonday–Saturday, a live coordinator confirms your vehicle condition, keys/title status, and pickup address—from Honolulu and Pearl City to Kahului, Līhuʻe, or Hilo. We then offer the earliest available slot, often same-day if you call before noon in most metro areas.
Schedule free towing or flatbed pickup
Same day or next business dayWe connect you with a local towing partner and lock in a pickup window that fits your day. In many Honolulu, Maui, Kauaʻi, and Kona/Hilo areas, weekday requests before noon can be picked up later that day or by the next business day at no cost to you.
Hand off the car and clear your space
15–30 minutes at pickupThe driver arrives at your condo, house, or workplace, loads your vehicle—running or not—onto a tow truck or flatbed, and completes a simple pickup receipt. You keep any personal items, sign basic paperwork, and your driveway or stall is immediately clear.
Receive your IRS-ready tax receipt
Within about 30 daysAfter your vehicle sells, Heritage for the Blind mails or emails you a written tax receipt, typically within 30 days. This document meets IRS Form 1098-C requirements for donations valued over $500, giving you the documentation you need for your federal tax deduction.
Why the process is genuinely fast
2-minute donation start
You can launch your donation right now in about 2 minutes online or by phone. We only need basic contact and vehicle details so we can move straight into scheduling your Hawaiʻi pickup today or tomorrow.
Same-day or next-business-day pickup
In most metro areas like Honolulu, Pearl City, Kailua, Kahului, Līhuʻe, Hilo, and Kona, weekday calls before noon can be scheduled for same-day pickup, or the very next business day if same-day isn’t available.
Monday–Saturday live dispatch
Island Wheels coordinators for Heritage for the Blind are available Monday–Saturday to set up your towing. That means you’re not waiting for callbacks—we can usually confirm details and book your Hawaiʻi pickup during a single conversation.
Non-running and damaged cars welcome
Your car does not have to run. Flooded, dead battery, missing parts, or accident damage—our towing partners can use flatbed service at no charge, so you can donate almost any vehicle where it sits across the islands.
No inspections or repairs required
You don’t have to fix, clean, or inspect your vehicle before donating. Skip safety checks and repair bills—we accept it as-is and handle the rest, from pickup to sale to providing your written tax receipt.
