If you’re ready to donate your car today in Jacksonville, Drive Forward Jax makes it happen fast. Start with a quick 2-minute online form or phone call, then a live Heritage for the Blind coordinator confirms your vehicle details and schedules your free pickup. In most Jacksonville Metro areas, weekday calls before noon can be picked up the same day; otherwise, we aim for the very next business day. You’ll receive a written tax receipt after your vehicle sells, typically within 30 days.
We handle cars, trucks, SUVs, and vans across Jacksonville — from Riverside, San Marco, Springfield, and Arlington to Southside, Mandarin, Westside, North Jacksonville, the Beaches, Orange Park, and beyond. Your vehicle does not need to run; flatbed service is available at no cost. There’s no inspection, no smog check, and no repairs required. Just tell us the year, make, model, condition, and exact location, remove your personal items, and we’ll do the rest. Proceeds support Heritage for the Blind, a 501(c)(3) serving people who are blind or visually impaired, and you receive a tax-deductible receipt that meets IRS Form 1098-C requirements for donations over $500.

Confirm details with a live coordinator
5–10 minutesMonday–Saturday, a Heritage for the Blind coordinator reviews your car’s details, exact pickup address, and any special access issues (gated communities, apartment lots, tight driveways). They’ll confirm whether same-day pickup is available in your Jacksonville neighborhood or schedule the earliest next-business-day time window.
Free tow or flatbed pickup at your driveway
Same day or next business dayA licensed tow partner comes to your home, workplace, or storage lot anywhere in Jacksonville Metro. Running or not, your vehicle is loaded and removed at no cost to you. You hand over the keys and signed title (if required in Florida), and your driveway or parking spot is officially cleared.
Donation processing and vehicle sale
1–4 weeksYour vehicle is processed and sold in a way designed to maximize its value. Proceeds support Heritage for the Blind’s services for people who are blind or visually impaired. You don’t handle any advertising, buyer calls, test drives, or paperwork — it’s all managed for you once the car leaves your property.
Receive your written tax receipt
Typically within 30 daysAfter your vehicle sells, Heritage for the Blind sends you a written tax receipt, usually within about 30 days. This document includes the sale value and fully satisfies IRS Form 1098-C requirements for donations of $500 or more, so you can claim your deduction with confidence at tax time.
Why the process is genuinely fast
Same-day pickup in most Jacksonville Metro areas
Call before noon on a weekday and, in most parts of Jacksonville Metro, we can arrange same-day vehicle pickup. If same-day isn’t available in your specific neighborhood, we prioritize the very next business day so your car is gone fast.
Start in just 2 minutes online or by phone
You can begin your donation immediately. The online form or a quick phone call captures everything needed to open your file and trigger scheduling. No long applications, no in-person visits — you can do it from your couch or office in minutes.
Live coordinators Monday–Saturday
Heritage for the Blind coordinators are available Monday through Saturday to review your car, confirm details, and book your tow. That means if you’re ready today, you’re speaking to a real person who can get your pickup on the calendar right away.
Non-running and damaged cars are welcome
Your car does not need to start or even have current tags. Free flatbed towing is available for non-running or heavily damaged vehicles, so you can move that dead car from your driveway or apartment lot without paying a cent out of pocket.
No inspection, emissions, or repairs needed
Skip the hassle of fixing, inspecting, or cleaning your car to sell it. We accept vehicles as-is. Just remove personal belongings and provide the title when possible; the tow driver and Heritage for the Blind team handle the rest of the logistics and paperwork.
