In Greenville, most RevLocal car donations are picked up within 24–48 hours of your first call or online form. From there, your vehicle is sold within about 2–6 weeks, and your IRS acknowledgment or Form 1098‑C is mailed within 30 days of that sale. In real life, that means you should plan on roughly 2–8 weeks total from your first contact to having tax paperwork in hand—while your old car is long gone from your driveway.
Here in the Greenville Metro—whether you’re in Downtown Greenville, Simpsonville, Greer, Mauldin, Taylors, Travelers Rest, or near Haywood Mall—we keep the process simple. Step 1: spend 2 minutes on a quick form or phone call. Step 2: within 1–2 business hours on weekdays, a local coordinator calls to confirm your details and set your free tow. Step 3: your car is usually picked up the same day or within 1–2 business days, running or not. After pickup, RevLocal routes your vehicle to auction or a direct buyer, completes the sale, and Heritage for the Blind mails your tax paperwork within 30 days of that sale. Donate by December 31 with a confirmed pickup, and your deduction counts for that tax year.

Free Tow Truck Pickup in Greenville Metro
Same-day to 2 business daysOur tow partner comes to you—driveway, street, or parking lot—typically within 24–48 hours, sometimes same‑day. Non‑running, damaged, or older vehicles are welcome. You hand over your keys and signed title (if available), the truck hauls your car away at no cost, and your driveway in Greenville, Simpsonville or Taylors is instantly cleared.
Vehicle Transport & Sale for Charity
2–6 weeks after pickupAfter pickup, your car is transported to a local auction or direct buyer that can bring the best return for Heritage for the Blind. Depending on buyer schedules and market demand around Greenville and the Upstate, the sale typically completes within about 2–6 weeks of your tow date. You don’t have to do anything during this stage.
Tax Paperwork Mailed to You
Within 30 days of sale (about 2–8 weeks total)Once your vehicle sells, Heritage for the Blind sends your written acknowledgment or IRS Form 1098‑C within 30 days of the sale. That’s why we recommend planning for roughly 2–8 weeks from your very first call or form to receiving your tax paperwork at your Greenville area mailing address.
