Donate your car in Florida today with pickup in 24 hours

Ready to donate your car in Florida today? Start in two minutes by phone or online and, in most metro areas, we can pick up your vehicle the same day or within 24–48 hours.

You can start and complete your Florida car donation to Palm Motor Legacy today. If you call before noon in most metro areas like Miami, Orlando, Tampa, Jacksonville, Fort Lauderdale, or West Palm Beach, we can usually arrange same-day pickup. Call now or begin our fast 2‑minute form, and a live Palm Motor Legacy coordinator (on behalf of Heritage for the Blind) will confirm your car’s details and lock in the earliest available tow time—often today, otherwise the next business day.

Here’s how it works in Florida: you either call or start the 2‑minute online form. A real person (Monday–Saturday) reviews your year, make, model, condition, and exact location—whether you’re in Kendall, Winter Park, Brandon, Coral Gables, Boca Raton, or a smaller town. We dispatch free towing—flatbed service if the car doesn’t run—directly to your home, office, or storage lot. There’s no inspection or repairs required. After your vehicle sells, Heritage for the Blind mails you a written tax receipt, usually within 30 days, fully satisfying IRS Form 1098‑C rules for donations over $500. Your driveway gets cleared, your donation helps people who are blind or visually impaired, and you get solid tax documentation.

Your complete donation timeline

1

Start your donation in 2 minutes

2 minutes

Call Palm Motor Legacy or open the short online form. Share your contact details, the car’s year, make, model, and where it’s parked anywhere in Florida. This quick step is all we need to trigger scheduling and move you toward a pickup time today or tomorrow.

2

Live coordinator confirms and schedules pickup

5–10 minutes

Monday through Saturday, a live coordinator reviews your info, confirms condition (running or not), and offers the earliest available tow window. In most Florida metro areas, calls before noon can be scheduled for same-day pickup; otherwise, expect the next business day.

3

Free tow truck or flatbed arrives

30–60 minutes on-site

Our licensed towing partner comes to your home, office, or lot—Miami, Orlando, Tampa Bay, Jacksonville, Gainesville, Naples, Pensacola and beyond. Non‑running or damaged vehicle? We send a flatbed at no cost. You hand over the keys and title, and your driveway is instantly clearer.

4

Donation is processed and sold

1–4 weeks

Palm Motor Legacy manages all transport and sale logistics for Heritage for the Blind. You don’t need to deal with buyers, ads, or DMV haggling. The vehicle is sold in a commercially reasonable way, and proceeds support programs for people who are blind or visually impaired.

5

Receive your IRS‑ready tax receipt

Within ~30 days of sale

After the vehicle sells, Heritage for the Blind mails you a written tax receipt, typically within 30 days. For donations valued over $500, the receipt covers IRS Form 1098‑C documentation requirements so you can claim your deduction with confidence at tax time.

Why the process is genuinely fast

2-minute start from anywhere in Florida

Whether you’re in Miami Beach, Clearwater, Tallahassee, or Cape Coral, you can begin in about two minutes by phone or online. That’s all it takes to move your car from “sitting there” to “scheduled for pickup.”

Same-day or next-business-day pickup

Call before noon in most Florida metro areas, and we can usually arrange pickup the same day. Otherwise, we line up the next business day so your driveway, condo spot, or office lot is cleared as quickly as possible.

Monday–Saturday live dispatch

A real coordinator is available Monday through Saturday to confirm details and book towing on the spot. No waiting days for a call back—your donation moves forward the moment you’re ready to act.

Non-running and damaged cars welcome

If your car won’t start, is missing parts, or has body damage, we still pick it up for free. Our flatbed service handles non‑running vehicles across Florida with no out‑of‑pocket cost to you.

No inspection, repairs, or smog needed

You don’t need to fix anything, pass any tests, or detail the car. Just tell us the honest condition. We take it as‑is, saving you time and letting you donate today instead of putting off repairs.

FAQ

Can my car really be picked up today in Florida?
In many Florida metro areas—like Miami, Orlando, Tampa, Jacksonville, and Fort Lauderdale—yes, same-day pickup is often possible if you call before noon on a weekday. When same-day isn’t available, we typically schedule the next business day. The fastest way to confirm is to call now so a coordinator can check today’s tow availability in your exact ZIP code.
How do I start the donation right now?
Start by calling Palm Motor Legacy or opening the 2‑minute online form. You’ll provide basic contact details, your vehicle’s year, make, model, and where it’s located in Florida. As soon as you submit, a live coordinator (Monday–Saturday) reviews your info, calls or emails if needed, and sets up the earliest possible pickup time—often that same day or within 24–48 hours.
Does my car need to run or pass inspection first?
No. Your car does not need to run, pass inspection, or be repaired. We accept most vehicles as‑is, including non‑running cars, high‑mileage vehicles, and those with body damage. We simply ask that you describe the condition honestly so we can send the right tow truck—often a flatbed—for safe pickup at no cost to you anywhere in Florida.
What paperwork do I need to have ready today?
In most Florida donations, you’ll need the vehicle title and a photo ID. If you’re missing title paperwork, still reach out—our coordinator can explain Florida’s options and what’s possible in your situation. When the tow driver arrives, you’ll sign the necessary transfer documents, and Palm Motor Legacy handles the rest for Heritage for the Blind.
When will I get my tax receipt and what does it cover?
After your vehicle is picked up, it’s sold, and Heritage for the Blind sends you a written tax receipt, typically within 30 days of sale. For donations valued over $500, this receipt meets IRS Form 1098‑C requirements, so you have the proper documentation to claim a charitable deduction when you file your taxes.
Is pickup really free anywhere in Florida?
Yes. Pickup is free statewide—whether you’re in a major city like Tampa or Orlando, a coastal area like Sarasota or Daytona Beach, or an inland town. You pay nothing for towing, title transfer processing, or handling. Palm Motor Legacy coordinates everything so your donation to Heritage for the Blind is fast and cost‑free for you.
Who benefits from my car donation through Palm Motor Legacy?
Your vehicle donation is processed by Palm Motor Legacy to benefit Heritage for the Blind, a registered 501(c)(3) charity (EIN 58‑2164446). Proceeds help support services for people who are blind or visually impaired. You’re turning an unused car in Florida into real support, while also receiving eligible tax benefits backed by a written receipt.
