Step-by-step timeline
Submit Donation Form

Schedule Pickup
Our dispatcher will contact you to finalize the details of your pickup. We can usually arrange a time that fits your schedule, but please allow for some flexibility.

Tow Truck Arrival
On the scheduled day, our tow truck will arrive to pick up your vehicle. Expect the truck within a specific window, typically between 1-3 hours.
Receive Donation Confirmation
Once we tow your vehicle, you’ll receive a receipt by mail indicating your donation, which is necessary for tax purposes once the vehicle is auctioned.

- Signed release form
- Confirmation of pickup address
- Access path for the tow truck
- Additional paperwork (if required by state)
Honest expectations
While we strive for quick and efficient service, same-day pickups cannot be guaranteed everywhere in Hawaii, especially in more rural areas. Weekends and after-hours pickups are possible but may require additional scheduling. Please provide as much detail in your donation form to set realistic expectations for timing; our team will work to accommodate your needs as best as possible.
How pickup logistics work
Our dispatcher coordinates with a reliable network of local tow operators to ensure smooth pickups. You’ll have clear communication from our team about when to expect the tow truck, and the operators are trained to handle a variety of situations. Expect an easy handoff at pickup to complete your donation process.
Hawaii pickup notes
In Hawaii, our network of tow operators is dense in urban areas but may vary in rural settings. Local street regulations, such as HOA permits and parking rules, can occasionally impact the pickup. Be sure to check any local requirements before the tow truck arrives to ensure a smooth process.
