Cities marked “Local site” have their own donation page, with the charity partners, pickup windows and DMV paperwork specific to that city. The rest are handled from here.
Pickup outside these cities
Rural and small-town pickups across Illinois work the same way as metro ones. You tell us where the vehicle is, we schedule a tow operator who already covers that route, and the vehicle is collected at no cost to you. Vehicles that do not run are fine; so are vehicles parked somewhere other than your home, as long as you can tell us how to reach them.
What you need before we come
The title in your name is the one document that matters. If it is lost, your Illinois DMV can issue a duplicate, and we can hold the pickup slot while that arrives. Bring the keys if you have them. After collection you receive an IRS Form 1098-C for your tax deduction, and you should cancel the insurance and return the plates once the vehicle is gone.
