If you’re ready to donate your car today in Greater Boston, you can get everything started in just 2 minutes. With Revive Rides, your donation is coordinated directly with Heritage for the Blind. Call now or complete our quick online form, and a live donation coordinator (available Monday–Saturday) will confirm your details and lock in your pickup window. In most Boston metro locations, weekday calls before noon qualify for same-day towing; otherwise, your vehicle is usually picked up by the next business day.
We regularly serve donors across Boston, Cambridge, Somerville, Brookline, Newton, Quincy, Medford, Malden, Chelsea, Revere, Everett, and surrounding communities along I-93, Route 1, Route 9, and the Mass Pike. Your car does not need to run—free flatbed service is available anywhere in Greater Boston, including tight city streets in places like Allston, Jamaica Plain, Dorchester, and East Boston. Once your vehicle sells, Heritage for the Blind mails you a written tax receipt, typically within 30 days. That receipt meets IRS Form 1098-C requirements for donations valued over $500, so you have the documentation you need for your tax deduction.

Monday–Saturday live coordination
A live Heritage for the Blind coordinator is available Monday through Saturday to confirm your vehicle, answer timing questions, and lock in your pickup slot so you know exactly when your car will be towed.
Non-running vehicles and flatbed service
Your car does not have to be drivable. We arrange free towing or flatbed service for non-running, damaged, or undrivable vehicles throughout Greater Boston, so you can donate without repairs or jump-starts.
No inspection or prep required
You don’t need emissions tests, repairs, or detailing. As long as the car is accessible to a tow truck, we’ll take it as-is. You simply remove personal items and plates before the driver arrives.
