Your complete donation timeline

1

Start your donation in 2 minutes

2 minutes

Begin right now with our quick online form or a phone call. You’ll share your contact info and basic details about the vehicle. This first step takes about two minutes and locks in today’s start date for your Lexington car donation.

2

Confirm details with a live coordinator

5-10 minutes

Monday through Saturday, a live donation coordinator reviews your year, make, model, condition, and exact pickup location in the Lexington Metro area. They’ll answer timing questions, explain what to do with your keys and title, and finalize your pickup window.

3

Schedule same-day or next-business-day pickup

Same day or next business day

For most weekday calls before noon in Lexington, we can arrange same-day pickup. Later calls are usually scheduled for the next business day. The tow truck or flatbed comes to your home, work, or storage lot at a time that works for you.

4

Free towing and handoff of your vehicle

20-30 minutes at pickup

The driver arrives, completes a brief visual check, and helps with any simple paperwork. The vehicle does not have to run. Your car is loaded onto the tow truck or flatbed, and your driveway or parking space in Lexington is officially cleared at no cost to you.

5

Sale of vehicle and tax receipt mailed

Within about 30 days

Your donated car is sold, and Heritage for the Blind uses the proceeds to support programs for people who are blind or visually impaired. Within roughly 30 days, you receive a written tax receipt that meets IRS Form 1098-C requirements for donations over $500.

Why the process is genuinely fast

2-minute start from anywhere in Lexington

Whether you’re in downtown Lexington, Beaumont, Hamburg, or Nicholasville, you can launch your donation in about two minutes online or by phone. That quick start locks in your place in today’s pickup schedule.

Same-day or next-business-day pickup

For most calls from Lexington Metro made before noon on a weekday, we can arrange same-day pickup. Later calls and Saturday requests are typically scheduled for the next business day, so your car is gone within about 24–48 hours.

Monday–Saturday live dispatch

You’re not leaving a message and waiting days. A live coordinator is available Monday through Saturday to confirm details and connect you with a local tow provider, keeping the process moving without delays.

Non-running and damaged cars welcome

Your vehicle does not have to be running, inspected, or repaired. We routinely send flatbeds and tow trucks across Lexington for cars with dead batteries, missing parts, or mechanical damage—always at no cost to you.

No inspection trips or drop-offs needed

You never have to drive anywhere or wait in line. The tow truck comes to your address in Lexington—home, work, or storage facility. A brief visual check at pickup is all that’s needed before your car is taken away.

FAQ

Can I really start and complete my car donation today in Lexington?
Yes. You can start your Lexington car donation in about two minutes online or by phone. A live coordinator will confirm your details and, for most weekday calls before noon in the Lexington Metro area, can arrange same-day pickup. If same-day isn’t available, we’ll schedule the next business day, so your donation is underway and on the calendar today.
How fast can you pick up my car if I call this morning?
If you call from the Lexington Metro area on a weekday morning before noon, we can usually arrange pickup the same day, depending on local tow-truck availability. You’ll get a confirmed pickup window before we finalize. If same-day isn’t possible, we set the earliest available time, most often the very next business day.
What if my car won’t start or has been sitting for a while?
Non-running vehicles are fine. We regularly pick up cars with dead batteries, flats, or mechanical issues across Lexington, from Masterson Station to Tates Creek. We send a tow truck or flatbed at no cost to you. As long as we can safely access the vehicle, you can still donate it quickly and receive your tax receipt after it sells.
Do I need to be there when the car is picked up?
It’s best if you can be there, especially to hand over keys and help with the title. However, in some cases we can arrange pickup without you present, such as if the keys and signed title are left in a safe, agreed spot. Your coordinator will review your situation and confirm what’s required for your Lexington pickup.
When and how do I get my tax receipt for the donation?
After your vehicle is picked up and sold, Heritage for the Blind will mail you a written tax receipt, typically within about 30 days. That receipt will show the vehicle details and sale information. For donations valued over $500, this documentation is designed to meet IRS Form 1098-C requirements for claiming your deduction.
Does the car have to pass any inspection or emissions test first?
No inspection or emissions test is required before donating. We accept vehicles in a wide range of conditions throughout Lexington. The tow company will do a simple visual check at pickup, but you don’t need to spend time or money getting the car ready. Just tell your coordinator the honest condition when you call or fill out the form.
What areas around Lexington do you serve for fast pickup?
We serve the entire Lexington Metro area and surrounding communities, including downtown Lexington, Chevy Chase, Hamburg, Beaumont, Masterson Station, Tates Creek, Richmond Road, Nicholasville, Georgetown, and nearby suburbs. When you provide your ZIP code and address, we’ll confirm availability and schedule the soonest possible pickup window for your location.
