If you’re ready to donate your car today in West Virginia, Appalachian Autos makes it happen fast. Start with a 2‑minute online form or a quick phone call, and a live coordinator will confirm your vehicle details and location. In most metro areas, when you call before noon Monday through Friday, we can schedule same‑day pickup. Otherwise, your car is typically picked up the next business day. You don’t have to wait weeks—your donation can be locked in today.

We work across West Virginia, from Charleston, South Charleston, and Nitro in the Kanawha Valley to Huntington and Barboursville, Morgantown and Fairmont up north, and Beckley, Princeton, and Bluefield in the south. Whether your car is parked in a driveway in Teays Valley, a lot in Martinsburg, a garage in Parkersburg, or a hillside home near Elkins, we’ll arrange free towing—running or not, with flatbed service if needed. After your vehicle sells, Heritage for the Blind sends you a written tax receipt, typically within 30 days, that meets IRS Form 1098‑C requirements for donations over $500. Start now and your driveway could be clear by tomorrow.

Your complete donation timeline

1

Start your donation in 2 minutes

2 minutes

Go online or call Appalachian Autos to begin right now. You’ll share your contact information and basic vehicle details—year, make, model, approximate mileage, and whether it runs. In just a couple of minutes, your donation is officially started and routed to a live coordinator serving West Virginia.

2

Confirm details with a live coordinator

5–10 minutes

Monday through Saturday, a real person reviews your info, confirms your car’s condition and exact location—from Charleston’s East End to Morgantown’s Suncrest or a rural road near Buckhannon—and locks in your donation. They’ll answer any timing questions and move directly to scheduling your pickup window.

3

Schedule same-day or next-business-day pickup

Same day or next business day in most areas

Call before noon on a weekday in most West Virginia metro areas, and we’ll usually arrange same‑day pickup. Later calls or more rural locations are typically set for the next business day. You choose a convenient time window; you usually don’t need to be present as long as the keys and title are accessible.

4

Free towing and flatbed pickup

30–60 minutes at pickup

Our professional towing partner arrives at your home, workplace, or storage lot—whether that’s in Huntington, Beckley, Martinsburg, or a nearby town. Non‑running, damaged, or undrivable vehicles are loaded via flatbed at no cost to you. Your driveway or parking spot is cleared on the spot.

5

Vehicle sale and written tax receipt

Usually within 30 days of pickup

After pickup, your vehicle is processed and sold. Proceeds support Heritage for the Blind’s programs for people who are blind or visually impaired. Typically within about 30 days, you receive a written tax receipt by mail that satisfies IRS Form 1098‑C requirements for donations valued over $500.

Why the process is genuinely fast

2-minute start from anywhere in West Virginia

Whether you’re in Charleston, Morgantown, Huntington, or a small town in the coalfields, you can begin your donation in about 2 minutes online or by phone. Once you submit, your information goes straight to a live coordinator for fast scheduling.

Same-day or 24–48 hour pickup in most areas

For weekday calls before noon in most West Virginia metro areas, same‑day pickup is usually available. Otherwise, your vehicle is typically picked up the next business day, so you’re not stuck with it in your driveway for weeks.

Monday–Saturday live dispatch and support

Coordinators are available Monday through Saturday to review your vehicle details, answer questions, and schedule towing. That means if you decide to donate today, you can talk to a real person and get a confirmed pickup window right away.

Non-running cars welcome with free flatbed

Your car does not need to start, drive, or even have all the tires inflated. We arrange free flatbed service for non‑running and damaged vehicles at no cost to you, so you can still donate that car that’s been sitting for years.

No inspection, repairs, or emissions needed

You don’t need to repair the vehicle, pass inspection, or update registration before donating. We accept most vehicles as‑is, which speeds up the process so you can donate today and be done without another trip to a mechanic or DMV.

FAQ

If I call today, how soon can my car be picked up in West Virginia?
In most West Virginia metro areas, if you call before noon on a weekday, we can usually arrange same-day pickup. If same-day isn’t available or you call later in the day, we typically schedule pickup for the next business day. Rural locations may vary slightly, but a coordinator will give you the earliest available time when you call.
Can I start and finish the donation process today?
You can absolutely start and complete all of your part today. In about 2 minutes, you submit the form or call to provide vehicle details. A live coordinator confirms your information and gives you a pickup time, often for later today or tomorrow. Once you sign the title and release the car at pickup, your donation is fully complete on your end.
Does my car need to run or pass inspection to donate it?
No. Your car does not have to run, drive, or pass inspection. We accept most vehicles in as‑is condition, including those with mechanical issues, expired inspections, or long-term storage. Free towing and flatbed service are provided, so you can donate that non‑running car in your driveway or barn without spending money on repairs.
What happens if I’m not home when the tow truck arrives?
In many cases, you do not need to be home. As long as the vehicle is accessible, the keys are available, and you’ve followed the title instructions given by the coordinator, we can often complete the pickup without you present. When scheduling, tell us if you won’t be there so we can plan where to find the keys and paperwork.
When will I get my tax receipt, and is it valid for donations over $500?
After your vehicle is picked up, it is processed and sold. Typically within about 30 days, Heritage for the Blind mails you a written tax receipt showing the gross sale price or appropriate valuation. This receipt is designed to meet IRS Form 1098‑C requirements for vehicle donations over $500, so you have the documentation needed to claim a deduction if you itemize.
Is there any cost to me for towing or processing?
No. Pickup is completely free to you anywhere in West Virginia. There are no towing charges, listing fees, or processing costs taken from you as the donor. The tow truck comes at no cost, even for non‑running cars or vehicles that need a flatbed, and proceeds from the sale go to support Heritage for the Blind’s programs.
Can I donate a car that’s parked at a shop, storage lot, or another address?
Yes. During your call or online form, just provide the exact address and contact details where the vehicle is located—whether that’s a repair shop in Beckley, a storage lot in Parkersburg, or a friend’s driveway in Martinsburg. Our towing partner will coordinate pickup there, as long as the vehicle and keys can be released at the scheduled time.
