If you’re ready to donate your car today in Seattle, you can start and complete everything in the next 2 minutes. With RideRebirth, powered by Heritage for the Blind, you either fill out a quick online form or call to reach a live coordinator (Monday–Saturday). For most weekday calls before noon in the Puget Sound metro, we can schedule same-day pickup. Otherwise, your vehicle is usually picked up the next business day—running or not, at no cost to you.
The process is simple and local. Tell us your car’s year, make, model, condition, and exact location—whether you’re in Capitol Hill, Ballard, West Seattle, Beacon Hill, Shoreline, Bellevue, Tacoma, or anywhere across the Puget Sound region. We dispatch a professional tow or flatbed truck, handle all the paperwork, and you keep your Washington plates. After your vehicle sells, you receive a written tax receipt—typically within 30 days—that satisfies IRS Form 1098-C requirements for deductions over $500. Your donation directly supports Heritage for the Blind’s services for people who are blind or visually impaired. If you’re ready, your Seattle car donation can be in motion before you finish this page.

Why the process is genuinely fast
Same-day pickup in most Puget Sound metros
Donate on a weekday before noon in the greater Seattle metro and, in most cases, we can schedule same-day towing. Otherwise, your pickup is typically set for the next business day, including nearby cities like Bellevue and Tacoma.
2-minute start from your phone or laptop
You can begin the RideRebirth process in about 2 minutes. Complete the simple online form or call and have a coordinator collect your details so your car donation is officially in motion today, not sometime "later."
Monday–Saturday live dispatch support
A real coordinator is available Monday through Saturday to confirm your details, answer timing questions, and coordinate local towing. You’re not stuck waiting days for an email—your pickup window is set while you’re on the call.
Non-running and damaged cars welcome
Mechanical issues, dead battery, flat tires, or it simply won’t start? No problem. We send a tow or flatbed at no cost anywhere across the Seattle area, so your car’s condition never slows down your donation.
No inspection, smog, or repairs required
There’s no pre-donation inspection, emissions test, or repair requirement. You can donate your vehicle exactly as it sits in your driveway, garage, or apartment lot and still receive your qualifying tax receipt after it sells.
