What you need ready

Honest expectations

While we strive to offer convenient weekend car donation options, it’s important to set clear expectations. Same-day pickups are not guaranteed for all areas, especially on Sundays, as they depend on dispatcher availability and regional demand. Major holidays are also considered temporary closures for pickups, so planning ahead is essential. To ensure a smooth experience, confirm your appointment by Friday afternoon, and we'll do our best to accommodate your desired timeframe.

How pickup logistics work

Our dispatchers coordinate closely with a network of local tow operators to ensure efficient pickups across the Grand Rapids area. Once you submit your donation request, our team will work to schedule a tow operator who can meet you at your location and time. Expect clear communication as we confirm your details and keep you updated on any changes that may arise before your pickup day.

Grand Rapids pickup notes

In Grand Rapids, the density of tow operators is favorable, facilitating efficient weekend car donations throughout urban, suburban, and even rural areas. However, keep in mind that there may be local restrictions related to HOA permits or street-parking rules that could affect accessibility. If you're in a more rural area, it’s wise to ensure that the tow truck has easy access to your property.
