In Greater Boston, most Revive Rides donors go from their first call to a completely cleared driveway in just 24–48 hours. Start with a quick 2‑minute online form or phone call today, and in many Boston neighborhoods we can arrange same‑day pickup. Our local coordinators work fast so you’re not staring at that unused car in your driveway any longer than necessary. You get free towing, fast paperwork, and a tax-deductible donation that supports Heritage for the Blind.
Here’s how it works in Boston, Cambridge, Somerville, Quincy, Brookline, Medford, Newton, Waltham, and across the North Shore and South Shore: you tell us about your vehicle, then a local coordinator schedules your pickup—often the same day or next business day, Monday through Saturday. A professional tow truck comes right to your home, garage, or lot—whether you’re in Dorchester, Jamaica Plain, South Boston, Allston–Brighton, or out in Framingham. You sign over the title at pickup (or mail it within a few days), we tow the car away at no charge, and after it’s sold you receive a written tax acknowledgment for your records. From that first 2‑minute step to an empty driveway is usually just one to two days.

Get Your Pickup Scheduled
Same day to next business dayA Revive Rides coordinator contacts you quickly—often within hours—to schedule towing, usually for the same day or next business day, Monday–Saturday. We work around your schedule and typical Boston realities: tight streets, resident parking, and busy workdays. You pick a time window; we handle the logistics.
Free Tow Truck Pickup at Your Address
15–30 minutes at pickupA licensed tow truck meets you at your home, office, or shop—South Boston triple‑deckers, Cambridge side streets, or a Malden apartment lot are all fine. The driver handles the vehicle loading. You don’t pay anything, and non‑running or damaged cars are welcome. Most donors are done at the curb in under half an hour.
Sign the Title & Finish Paperwork
5–10 minutesAt pickup, you’ll sign over your Massachusetts title and a simple donation document, or you can mail the title within a few days if needed. Our team can walk you through exactly where to sign, so there’s no confusion. Once it’s signed, your legal responsibility for the vehicle effectively ends and we take it from there.
Car Sold & Tax Acknowledgment Sent
Mailed/emailed in a few business days after saleAfter towing, Revive Rides arranges the sale of your vehicle. When it’s sold, you receive a written tax acknowledgment from Heritage for the Blind by mail or email within a few business days. Keep this with your tax records; donations over certain amounts may be reported on IRS Form 1098‑C for your deduction.
Why the process is genuinely fast
Most Boston donors finish in 24–48 hours
From your first 2‑minute contact to an empty driveway, the typical Greater Boston donor is done in about one to two days. Our coordinators prioritize fast scheduling so that unused or expired‑inspection cars aren’t sitting in front of your triple‑decker or condo for long.
Same‑day pickup often available
In many metro Boston neighborhoods—like Cambridge, Somerville, Jamaica Plain, and Medford—we can arrange same‑day or next‑day towing, especially if you contact us early in the day. We work Monday through Saturday to give you the best chance of getting that car gone fast.
2‑minute, no‑hassle start
You don’t have to carve out an afternoon. A quick 2‑minute online form or phone call is all it takes to launch the process. Once you click submit or hang up, our team takes over and moves your donation forward without you chasing anyone for updates or appointments.
Non‑running & damaged cars are fine
No inspection, repairs, or jumpstart needed. Whether your car won’t start, failed inspection, has a dead battery, or has been sitting in a Brighton or Revere driveway all winter, the tow truck handles it. We’ll still pick it up free and turn it into support for Heritage for the Blind.
Monday–Saturday pickup windows
Our dispatch operates Monday through Saturday, giving you flexible time windows around Boston traffic and work schedules. Morning, midday, or late‑day slots are often available, so you can fit your donation between commutes, kids’ activities, or Red Line delays without stress.
