If you are ready to donate your car today in Indianapolis, you can start and complete the entire process in just a few minutes. With Indy Car Connect and Heritage for the Blind, you either call now to reach a live coordinator (Monday–Saturday) or fill out our quick 2-minute donation form. In most Indy Metro neighborhoods, if you contact us on a weekday before noon, we can arrange same-day pickup; otherwise, your pickup is typically scheduled for the next business day. Your car does not need to run, and towing is always free.
Here’s how it works in the Indianapolis area: you share your vehicle’s year, make, model, condition, and exact location—whether you’re in Broad Ripple, Fountain Square, Irvington, Lawrence, Speedway, Fishers, Carmel, or Greenwood. A Heritage for the Blind coordinator confirms details and connects you with a local towing partner. They come to your driveway, garage, or lot, load your vehicle (flatbed available for non-running cars), and you sign a simple release. After your vehicle sells, you receive a written tax receipt—meeting IRS Form 1098-C requirements for donations valued over $500—typically within about 30 days.

Why the process is genuinely fast
Same-Day Pickup in Most Indy Metro Areas
When you call on a weekday before noon from most Indianapolis metro neighborhoods, we can typically arrange same-day pickup. Otherwise, we schedule your tow for the next business day so your vehicle is gone quickly.

Monday–Saturday Live Dispatch
Coordinators are available Monday through Saturday to confirm your vehicle details and book a tow. That means you aren’t waiting days for a call back—your donation can move forward the same day you reach out.
Non-Running and Damaged Cars Welcome
Your car does not need to be running or safe to drive. We send a professional towing company with flatbed capability, so even vehicles with flat tires, missing parts, or mechanical issues can be picked up at no cost to you.
No Inspection, Repairs, or Emissions Needed
You don’t have to fix, clean, or inspect your vehicle before donating. Just tell us its current condition, and we’ll handle the rest. There’s no pre-approval inspection that could slow down your pickup time.
