5–10 minutes

Our team coordinates with Heritage for the Blind’s licensed tow partners serving Fort Myers, Cape Coral, Lehigh Acres, and nearby communities.

5–15 minutes

Before the tow truck arrives, find your Florida vehicle title and sign where indicated for a donation/transfer. If you’re unsure how to sign, we’ll walk you through it on the phone.

15–30 minutes

A licensed towing professional comes right to your home, apartment complex, or storage lot in the Fort Myers area. They’ll quickly verify paperwork, load your vehicle, and handle the transport at no cost to you. Your driveway, carport, or garage is cleared—often the same day you reached out.

5

Receive your + tax receipt

1–3 weeks

After pickup, your vehicle is processed and sold, with proceeds helping Heritage for the Blind support people who are blind or visually impaired.

Why the process is genuinely fast

Same-day pickup often available in Fort Myers

When you call before noon on a weekday, we can often schedule same-day towing in the Fort Myers area, including Cape Coral, Lehigh Acres, and nearby communities. If a same-day slot isn’t open, we work to secure the very next available pickup.

Start your donation in about 2 minutes

Whether you call or fill out the online form, sharing your basic info and vehicle details usually takes just a couple of minutes. That quick step is all it takes to trigger dispatch coordination and get your pickup time locked in.

Monday–Saturday dispatch for flexible timing

Heritage for the Blind’s dispatch operates Monday through Saturday, giving you more options to match work shifts, move-out days, and HOA rules. We’ll look at today, tomorrow, and the next available windows to find the earliest pickup that fits your schedule.

Non-running cars and failed inspections are fine

Your car doesn’t need to run or pass a safety or emissions inspection for same-day or next-day pickup. Towing is handled by professionals who routinely move wrecked, dead-battery, or long-sitting vehicles from driveways, lots, and garages.

Absolutely no inspection or repair required

You don’t have to spend time or money fixing anything before donating. We accept vehicles as‑is. Just have your signed title ready at pickup; the tow driver and our team handle the rest, including transport and sale processing for Heritage for the Blind.

FAQ

Can you really pick up my car in Fort Myers today?
In many Fort Myers-area locations, yes—same-day pickup is often possible when you call before noon on a weekday. Availability depends on local tow truck schedules and your exact location (for example, near McGregor, Gateway, or Cape Coral). If a same-day slot isn’t open, we’ll secure the earliest possible time within the next 24–48 hours.
What if I need the car gone by tomorrow at the latest?
Next-day pickup is available in virtually all 50 states, including the Fort Myers area. Call us as soon as you know your deadline—especially if you’re moving, your insurance is ending, or your landlord needs the spot cleared. We’ll prioritize your request and work with dispatch to confirm a pickup window within that timeframe whenever possible.
Is calling really faster than filling out the form?
Yes. If your situation is truly urgent, calling is the best way to get the fastest answer. A live team member can check same-day and next-day tow slots in real time, ask any quick follow-up questions, and confirm a window on the spot. The online form is still fast, but responses depend on call-back speed and dispatch volume.
Does my car need to run or pass inspection for same-day pickup?
No. Your vehicle does not need to run, drive, or pass any inspection to qualify for same-day or next-day towing. We regularly pick up non-running cars, vehicles that failed emissions or safety checks, and cars that have been sitting for months. Just make sure the tow truck can physically access the vehicle and that you have a signed title ready.
What paperwork do I need ready before the tow truck comes?
You’ll need your Florida vehicle title, signed correctly to transfer ownership. If you’re not sure where to sign or what to bring, we’ll walk you through it when you call. You generally won’t need to provide a current registration or inspection for donation. Having your driver’s license handy can also help verify identity at pickup.
How much will the tow cost me if it’s same-day?
Towing is always free to you, whether pickup is same-day, next-day, or scheduled later in the week. There are no hidden fees or last-minute charges. The tow truck comes to your Fort Myers-area location, removes the vehicle, and you receive documentation for your donation benefiting Heritage for the Blind.
When and how do I get my tax receipt for the donation?
After your vehicle is picked up and processed, Sunshine Shift will send you a + tax receipt acknowledging your donation to Heritage for the Blind (EIN 58-2164446). This typically arrives within a few weeks. For eligible donations above certain thresholds, you may also receive IRS Form 1098‑C, which you can use when filing your federal tax return.
