We understand that your schedule might be packed with work and personal commitments, making our after-hours service a practical solution for you.

Step-by-step timeline
Fill out the donation form
Start by completing our online donation form with your vehicle details. You'll specify an evening pickup time slot that works best for you, typically between 4 PM and 7 PM.
Receive confirmation
Once your form is submitted, our dispatcher will contact you to confirm the pickup details and provide instructions on where to leave your car keys and title.
Prepare for pickup
On the day of your scheduled pickup, ensure the title is signed over to Carolina Charities Auto, and place your keys and title in the designated location for the tow truck driver.
Tow truck arrival
Our tow operator will arrive during the agreed window of 4 PM to 7 PM, pick up your vehicle safely, and complete the necessary paperwork.
Receive your donation receipt
After your vehicle has been sold, we will mail you an IRS 1098-C for your tax records. This typically occurs a few weeks after the pickup.
What you need ready
- Vehicle title signed and ready for transfer
- Car keys left in the agreed location
- Completed and signed release-of-liability form
- Address confirmation and clear access path for tow truck
- A safe and visible area for the pickup
Honest expectations
While we strive to accommodate all requests for same-day or next-day pickups, evening donations may not always be feasible, especially during peak periods or bad weather. Donating during the summer months might provide better visibility and access. Late pickups are subject to logistical constraints, so planning ahead is essential. If we can’t meet your preferred timeline, we’ll work to find an alternative that suits you.
How pickup logistics work
Coordination is key to our after-hours pickup service. Our dispatcher will communicate directly with you to finalize details, including the location of your keys and title. Our network of tow operators is well-equipped to handle evening pickups, ensuring safe and efficient vehicle transport while complying with local regulations.
