If you’re in Mobile and ready to donate your car today, you can get everything started in just 2 minutes. With Cruise Forward, a live Heritage for the Blind coordinator can confirm your details and schedule your pickup for the same day in most Mobile Metro locations when you call before noon on a weekday—or by the next business day at the latest.
Here’s how it works in Mobile: you either complete the quick online form or call to speak with a live coordinator, Monday through Saturday. They’ll confirm your car’s year, make, model, condition, and exact location—whether you’re in Midtown, West Mobile, Dauphin Island Parkway, Tillman’s Corner, Saraland, or across the bay in Daphne or Fairhope. Your vehicle does not need to run; free flatbed towing is available. There’s no inspection or repairs required. Once your pickup is booked, the tow driver handles all logistics at no cost to you. After Heritage for the Blind sells your vehicle, you receive written tax paperwork, typically within 30 days, that fully meets IRS Form 1098-C requirements for donations over $500.

Free towing from your driveway or lot
15–30 minutes on pickup dayOn pickup day, the tow driver meets you where the car sits—your home in West Mobile, apartment near Spring Hill, or workplace near Downtown. Running or not, they’ll use standard tow or flatbed service and handle all loading and transport for free.

Receive your written tax receipt
Within ~30 daysAfter the vehicle sells, Heritage for the Blind mails you a written tax receipt, typically within 30 days. This document includes all information needed for IRS Form 1098-C so you can claim a deduction for donations valued over $500, if you itemize.
Why the process is genuinely fast
Same-day or next-business-day pickup
When you call from Mobile Metro on a weekday before noon, your vehicle can usually be picked up the same day; otherwise, the next business day. Coordinators work quickly to secure the earliest available tow window in your specific neighborhood.

Whether you’re in Downtown, Midtown, Cottage Hill, or across the bay, it takes about 2 minutes to start. Submit the online form or call, and your information goes straight to a live coordinator who can move your donation forward immediately.
Monday–Saturday live dispatch support
Coordinators are available Monday through Saturday to confirm your car’s details and lock in a pickup time. That means you don’t wait for callbacks—your donation can be set up in a single conversation, often leading to pickup within 24 hours.

No inspection, no hassles, no cost to you
There’s no pre-donation inspection visit, no photos required, and no fees. Once you provide basic details, Heritage for the Blind and the tow partner handle the rest—logistics, transport, sale, and tax paperwork—at absolutely no cost to you.
