If you’re ready to donate your car today in the Fort Myers Area, you can start and complete your donation right now. Sunshine Shift makes it easy to act immediately: begin with our fast 2-minute form or call to reach a live Heritage for the Blind coordinator Monday–Saturday. In most metro areas, including much of Fort Myers, we can arrange same-day weekday pickup when you contact us before noon, or the next business day. Your car does not need to run, and you pay nothing for towing.
Here’s how it works in and around Fort Myers: you share your vehicle’s year, make, model, condition, and exact location—whether you’re near McGregor Boulevard, Gateway, Iona, Cypress Lake, Lehigh Acres, Cape Coral, or downtown Fort Myers. A coordinator confirms all details, schedules your pickup window, and dispatches a local tow truck (flatbed if needed). The driver meets you at home, work, or a storage lot, handles the vehicle handoff, and collects the signed title and keys. After your vehicle sells, Heritage for the Blind mails you a written tax receipt—typically within 30 days—which meets IRS Form 1098-C requirements for donations valued over $500.

Same-Day or Next-Business-Day Pickup
Same day or next business dayIn most metro areas, calls before noon on weekdays can be picked up the same day; otherwise, it’s usually the next business day.

15–20 minutesWhen the driver arrives, you’ll sign the title where directed, remove your personal items and plates if required by Florida, and hand over the keys. The tow operator loads the vehicle—running or not—and your driveway or parking spot is cleared at no cost to you.
