You can start and complete your Revive Wheels car donation in Greater Cincinnati today. If you call a live Heritage for the Blind coordinator before noon on a weekday, same-day pickup is available in most metro areas, with next-business-day pickup as the standard backup. Even if it’s not running or you’ve lost the title, you can still start the process in about two minutes and lock in your pickup window now.
Here’s how it works in Cincinnati: you either call or start the quick online form. A live coordinator (Monday–Saturday) confirms your car’s year, make, model, condition, and exact location — whether you’re in Over-the-Rhine, Hyde Park, Westwood, Anderson Township, Florence, Covington, Mason, or anywhere across Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky. They schedule your free tow or flatbed pickup, often for the same day you call. The driver handles all loading; you hand over the keys and signed title (where required). After the vehicle sells, typically within about 30 days, Heritage for the Blind mails you a written tax receipt that satisfies IRS Form 1098-C requirements for donations valued over $500.

Speak with a live coordinator
5–10 minutesMonday–Saturday, a live coordinator reviews your details, confirms the exact pickup address (home, work, or shop) in areas like Clifton, Delhi, Blue Ash, or Covington, and answers any timing questions. They’ll explain what to sign, what to remove from the car, and offer the soonest available tow window.
Schedule your free pickup
Same day or next business dayFor weekday calls before noon in most metro Cincinnati locations, pickup is often available the same day; otherwise, it’s typically the next business day. You choose a time window, and a professional tow or flatbed driver is dispatched. There’s no cost to you anywhere in Greater Cincinnati or Northern Kentucky.
Hand off the vehicle
15–20 minutesWhen the driver arrives at your home, office, or lot, they handle all loading — running or not. You pass over the keys and title (if required in your state), remove plates if needed, and your driveway in neighborhoods like Oakley, Norwood, or Fairfield is suddenly clear. Your donation is officially complete at pickup.
Receive your tax receipt
Within about 30 daysRevive Wheels’ partner sells the vehicle to benefit Heritage for the Blind. Once it sells, usually within about 30 days, you’ll be mailed a written tax receipt that meets IRS Form 1098-C rules for donations over $500, so you can claim your deduction with confidence at tax time.
Why the process is genuinely fast
Same-day or next-business-day pickup
In most Greater Cincinnati metro areas, weekday calls before noon can be scheduled for same-day pickup; otherwise, next-business-day is typical. Your coordinator will tell you honestly what’s available for your exact neighborhood and quickly lock in your time window.
2-minute donation start
You can begin the process in about two minutes by phone or online. With just basic contact and vehicle info, your donation is officially in the system today, and dispatch can immediately work on assigning a tow truck for the earliest available pickup.
Monday–Saturday live dispatch
Heritage for the Blind coordinators are available Monday through Saturday to confirm your details and schedule your tow. That means you’re not waiting days for a callback — you get real-time answers and the fastest possible pickup window, even on busy weeks.
Non-running cars and flatbed service
Your car does not need to run. Free towing or flatbed service is available for dead batteries, no-start vehicles, or accident damage. The driver handles all loading, so you can donate cars that a typical buyer or mechanic might not want to touch.
No inspection or repairs needed
You don’t have to clean, fix, or inspect your car before donating. Just tell the coordinator the honest condition, and they’ll match the right tow service. Skipping prep work speeds everything up so you can move from decision to pickup within 24–48 hours in most areas.
