You can start and complete your car donation to Ride to Relief in Colorado today. If you call before noon Monday through Friday in most metro areas like Denver, Colorado Springs, Aurora, Lakewood, Fort Collins, and Pueblo, we can usually schedule a same-day pickup. Otherwise, expect next-business-day pickup in most parts of Colorado. The car does not need to run, and towing is always free. You’ll receive your written tax receipt after the vehicle sells, typically within 30 days, and it will fully cover IRS Form 1098-C requirements for donations over $500.
Getting started takes about two minutes. Either call Ride to Relief and you’ll reach a live coordinator Monday–Saturday, or complete our quick online form anytime. We’ll confirm your car’s year, make, model, condition, and exact Colorado location—whether that’s a driveway in Highlands Ranch, a street spot in Capitol Hill, a lot in Greeley, or a farm road outside Grand Junction. Then we match you with a local towing partner, including flatbed service for non-running vehicles. On pickup day, you hand over the keys and title, and your driveway is instantly clearer while your donation begins supporting Heritage for the Blind’s services for people who are blind or visually impaired.
