You can start and complete your Idaho car donation today. With Idaho Wheels Forward, powered by Heritage for the Blind, it takes about two minutes to begin online or by phone, and in most Idaho metro areas we can schedule a free pickup the same day if you contact us before noon on a weekday—or the very next business day. Your car doesn’t have to run, and you’ll receive a written tax receipt after it sells, typically within 30 days, meeting IRS Form 1098-C rules for donations over $500.
Here’s how it works across Idaho—from Boise, Meridian, Nampa, Caldwell, and Eagle, to Idaho Falls, Pocatello, Twin Falls, Coeur d’Alene, Lewiston, and surrounding communities. You either call a live coordinator (Monday–Saturday) or start our quick online form. We confirm your vehicle’s year, make, model, condition, and exact location—whether it’s in a driveway in West Boise, on a street in downtown Idaho Falls, or in a rural area outside Moscow. Then we schedule your free tow or flatbed pickup, often same-day, and handle all title and logistics. Once the vehicle is sold, you receive your tax receipt by mail, and your gift helps Heritage for the Blind support people who are blind or visually impaired.

We’ll ask for basic contact information and the vehicle’s year, make, model, mileage, and general condition—no detailed inspection or photos required to get started today.
Confirm Idaho location and title details
5–10 minutesNext, we confirm where the vehicle is located—Boise, Meridian, Nampa, Idaho Falls, Pocatello, Twin Falls, Coeur d’Alene, or a nearby town—and review your title status. We’ll explain what you need on pickup day and answer any questions about non-running or damaged vehicles.
Schedule free towing or flatbed pickup
Same day or next business dayFor most weekday calls before noon in metro areas, we can arrange same-day pickup; otherwise it’s typically the next business day. Your car doesn’t need to be running. We dispatch a local tow or flatbed service to your driveway, garage, storage lot, or roadside location at a time that works for you.
Hand over keys, sign, and your driveway is clear
15–20 minutes at pickupWhen the driver arrives, you’ll spend just a few minutes finalizing paperwork and handing over keys and title if available. There’s no cost, no negotiation, and no last-minute fees. Your vehicle is loaded and removed, leaving your parking space or driveway in Idaho free the same day.
Vehicle sale and guaranteed tax receipt
Within 30 days of saleHeritage for the Blind manages the sale of your donated vehicle. Once it sells—usually within about 30 days—you receive a written tax receipt by mail. This receipt is structured to meet IRS Form 1098-C requirements for vehicle donations valued over $500, helping you claim your deduction accurately.
Why the process is genuinely fast
Same-day Idaho pickups in most metro areas
Call before noon on a weekday from metro areas like Boise, Meridian, Nampa, Idaho Falls, Twin Falls, or Pocatello, and in most cases we can schedule your free tow for that same day. Otherwise, we aim for the next business day.
2-minute start by form or phone
You don’t have to spend your whole afternoon on this. In under two minutes, you can submit our online form or connect with a live coordinator, locking in your donation and triggering the pickup scheduling process right away.
Monday–Saturday live dispatch
Coordinators are available Monday through Saturday to confirm details and schedule your tow. That means if you decide to donate on a weekday or Saturday, you aren’t waiting until next week to get on the calendar in Idaho.
Non-running and damaged cars welcome
Your vehicle does not need to start, drive, or even have all its tires holding air. We work with tow and flatbed providers across Idaho who can load non-running, damaged, or undriveable cars at no cost to you.
No inspection or repairs needed
You can donate as-is—no emissions test, no trip to a mechanic, and no home inspection before pickup. A brief description of condition over the phone or on the form is enough to move straight to scheduling today.
