If you’ve got a vehicle taking up space, whether it’s running or not, donating it can be a great way to give back while ensuring it doesn’t go to waste. With Hoosier Wheels, the process is simple and straightforward. We offer free car towing services during your donation, which means you won’t pay a dime for the pickup regardless of the vehicle's condition.
As long as you have the title and keys, scheduling a pickup is quick and easy. Our team is dedicated to providing a seamless experience, answering your questions and guiding you through the process. By donating your car, you not only receive a potential tax deduction but also help support our local charity efforts in Indiana.
Step-by-step timeline
Submit Donation Form
Complete our online donation form with your vehicle details. This step usually takes only a few minutes.
Schedule Pickup
Our team will reach out to confirm details and schedule a convenient time for towing, typically within 24-48 hours.
Prepare Your Vehicle
Make sure you have the vehicle title, keys, and a clear access path for the tow truck upon arrival.
Pickup Day
Our tow truck will arrive at the scheduled time. The driver will quickly assess the vehicle and complete the pickup.
Post-Donation Process
After towing, the vehicle will be auctioned off, and you'll receive the IRS 1098-C tax form in the mail once it’s sold.
What you need ready
- Vehicle title (signed at pickup)
- Keys for the vehicle
- Signed release form (if applicable)
- Confirmation of address for pickup
- Clear access path for the tow truck
Honest expectations
While we aim to make the donation process as efficient as possible, expect that same-day pickups may not be feasible everywhere, especially in rural areas. Typically, you can expect your vehicle to be picked up within a couple of days. If you have specific scheduling needs, just let us know, and we’ll do our best to accommodate. Please note that if your vehicle is impounded or has extensive damage, it may complicate the pickup process.
How pickup logistics work
Our dispatch team coordinates pickups with a network of local tow operators, ensuring that drivers are well-informed about your vehicle’s condition and location. You’ll receive a confirmation call or text before the tow truck arrives. Open communication is key; our team is here to assist you throughout the process, from scheduling to pickup.
Indiana pickup notes
In Indiana, our extensive network of tow operators allows us to effectively cover urban, suburban, and most rural areas. However, in extremely rural locations, or for vehicles in HOA-restricted zones, we may face limitations. Be sure to check any local street-parking rules or HOA requirements that might affect access for our tow trucks.
