Need your car gone today in South Carolina? With Palmetto Wheels Exchange, most donors in metro areas can get same-day pickup when you call before noon on a weekday, and nearly everyone statewide can schedule pickup within 24–48 hours. Your car does NOT need to run, pass inspection, or be insured. A licensed tow truck comes to your address, hauls it away free, and you get a tax receipt worth $500+ in most cases, benefiting Heritage for the Blind (EIN 58-2164446).
We know timing matters—whether you’re moving out of a Columbia apartment near Five Points, clearing a driveway in Lexington, making space in your Mount Pleasant garage, or dealing with lapsed insurance in Greenville, Spartanburg, or the Charleston peninsula. Here’s how it works: have your signed South Carolina title ready, call us for urgent pickups, and we’ll lock in a pickup window that fits your deadline. Dispatch runs Monday–Saturday, and our tow partners serve the Upstate, Midlands, Lowcountry, Grand Strand, and beyond—from Rock Hill and Fort Mill down through Orangeburg, Sumter, and Florence. Start online in about two minutes, or call now if you need the fastest possible same-day slot.

Free tow truck arrives at your address
30–60 minutes on-siteA licensed tow truck comes directly to your home, work, storage lot, or apartment complex—no need for the car to run or pass inspection. We handle vehicles in driveways, parking decks, and roadside spots across South Carolina. The driver will load your vehicle, verify paperwork, and answer any last-minute questions before towing it away at no cost.
Driveway cleared and donation complete
Same day or within 24–48 hoursOnce the truck pulls away, your old car is officially out of your way—perfect for expiring insurance, HOA notices, or a tight moving deadline. You keep your plates per South Carolina rules, and can immediately cancel or adjust your insurance coverage, knowing the vehicle is safely removed.
Tax receipt mailed for your records
Within a few weeksAfter your vehicle is processed for sale, Palmetto Wheels Exchange sends you a donation receipt, generally allowing a $500+ deduction and potentially more depending on sale price. For deductions over $500, you’ll use IRS Form 1098-C with your tax return. Your gift helps Heritage for the Blind support people who are blind or visually impaired.
Why the process is genuinely fast
Same-day in most South Carolina metros
Call before early afternoon on a weekday and, in most metro areas like Columbia, Charleston, Greenville, and Myrtle Beach, we can often schedule pickup the very same day. We’ll tell you upfront what’s realistically available for your exact ZIP code.
2-minute start from your phone or laptop
You can begin the entire donation process in about two minutes—just basic contact and vehicle details. No lengthy questionnaires, no uploads required to lock in a time. For true emergencies, call instead of only submitting the form so we can prioritize you immediately.
Monday–Saturday dispatch across the state
Our dispatch center runs Monday through Saturday, coordinating licensed tow trucks across the Upstate, Midlands, Lowcountry, and Grand Strand. That means more flexible time windows and better odds of landing a same- or next-day pickup that fits your insurance or moving deadline.
Non-running and failed inspection cars welcome
Your vehicle does not need to start, run, or pass South Carolina inspection. We regularly tow cars with dead batteries, blown engines, failed emissions, and accident damage from driveways, garages, and apartment lots at no cost to you.
No repairs or prep work needed
Skip the mechanic and detailing shop. You don’t need to fix damage, replace tires, or clean the car for us to accept it. Just have your signed title ready, remove your personal items, and we’ll take care of everything else, fast.
