You can start and complete your Hoosier Wheels car donation in Indiana today. If you contact us Monday–Saturday before noon in most metro areas, we can usually pick up your vehicle the same day. Otherwise, we schedule the next business day or the earliest time that works for you. Your car does not need to run, and pickup is always free. After the vehicle sells, you’ll receive a written tax receipt that meets IRS Form 1098‑C requirements for donations worth more than $500.
Here’s how it works for Indiana donors: start the 2‑minute online form or call Hoosier Wheels, powered by Heritage for the Blind, and a live coordinator confirms your car’s year, make, model, condition, and exact location. We regularly dispatch trucks in and around Indianapolis (Broad Ripple, Irvington, Greenwood, Carmel, Fishers), Fort Wayne, Evansville, South Bend–Mishawaka, Gary, Hammond, Lafayette, Bloomington, Muncie, Terre Haute, and the rest of Indiana. We match you with a local tow or flatbed driver, schedule a free pickup window, and handle the title transfer. Your driveway is cleared with no hassle, and your donation helps Heritage for the Blind serve people who are blind or visually impaired.

2 minutesBegin online or by phone. In about two minutes, you’ll share your contact info, the vehicle’s year, make, model, basic condition, and where it’s parked anywhere in Indiana—from downtown Indianapolis to rural counties. No photos, repairs, or inspection are required to get started right now.
Live coordinator calls to confirm details
5-10 minutesMonday–Saturday, a Hoosier Wheels coordinator quickly reviews your information, answers timing questions, and confirms the vehicle’s location, title status, and access for the tow truck. We then lock in the earliest pickup window—often same-day if you call before noon in metro areas like Indy, Fort Wayne, or Evansville.
Schedule your free pickup window
Same-day or next business dayYou choose a convenient time window. In most Indiana cities and suburbs—Carmel, Fishers, Noblesville, Greenwood, Lafayette, Bloomington—we can dispatch same-day on weekday morning requests. Otherwise, we arrange next business day or the first available slot that fits your schedule.
Tow truck or flatbed removes your vehicle
20-40 minutes at pickupThe driver arrives during your scheduled window, completes a quick handoff, and loads your car—running or not. We use flatbeds for non-running, damaged, or undrivable vehicles at no cost. Your driveway or parking spot in Indiana is cleared with minimal disruption, and you keep a simple pickup receipt.
Vehicle sells and tax receipt is issued
Within about 30 daysAfter pickup, Heritage for the Blind arranges the sale of your donated vehicle. Once it sells—typically within 30 days—you receive a written tax receipt by mail. For donations valued over $500, your receipt satisfies IRS Form 1098‑C requirements, so you can claim the deduction with confidence.
Why the process is genuinely fast
Same-day pickup in most Indiana metros
Call before noon Monday–Friday from areas like Indianapolis, Fort Wayne, Evansville, or South Bend and, in most cases, we can schedule same-day pickup. If that’s not possible, we lock in the next business day or the earliest available time.
2-minute start from anywhere in Indiana
You don’t need to gather paperwork or photos to begin. Our quick online form or a short phone call gets your donation moving in about two minutes, whether your car is in Gary, Carmel, New Albany, or out in the country.
Live coordinators Monday–Saturday
When you’re ready today, you reach a real person—not a voicemail maze. Our coordinators are available Monday through Saturday to confirm details, answer Indiana-specific title questions, and lock in your earliest pickup window.
Non-running and damaged cars are welcome
Your vehicle does not have to start, pass emissions, or be safe to drive. We send a tow truck or flatbed at no charge, even for cars with dead batteries, missing parts, or accident damage anywhere in Indiana.
No inspection, repairs, or cleaning needed
Skip the hassle of fixing or detailing your car. We accept vehicles as-is—no pre-inspection or repairs required—so you can move from decision to scheduled pickup in a single call or quick form submission today.
