Are you ready to part ways with an unwanted vehicle? At AutoLift Tampa, we make car donation simple and straightforward. Whether your car is running or not, our free tow service ensures that you won't incur any costs when donating. The proceeds from the auction of your vehicle cover the towing expenses, allowing us to support local charities while making the process seamless for you.
Scheduling your pickup is easy! Simply fill out the donation form on our website, and our team will coordinate the details with you. We recommend having your car title and keys ready, as having them on hand can expedite the process. If needed, we can discuss state-specific procedures for title transfer. Let us help you turn your unwanted car into a charitable contribution!
Step-by-step timeline

Honest expectations
While we strive to provide same-day or weekend pickups, please understand that this isn't always feasible due to scheduling constraints. Our goal is to accommodate your needs, but we may need to schedule pickups within 1-3 business days, especially during busy periods. Additionally, if your vehicle is severely damaged or impounded, we may need to discuss alternative arrangements.
How pickup logistics work
Our dispatch team works closely with a network of reliable tow operators dedicated to your area. After your donation form is submitted, our dispatcher will coordinate with a local towing company to ensure timely pickup. You'll receive updates and confirmations throughout the process, providing peace of mind as you transition your vehicle to donation.
Tampa pickup notes
In Tampa, we benefit from a robust network of towing services that can efficiently navigate urban and suburban areas. However, we do need to be aware of local regulations, like HOA permits for off-street access or parking rules in certain neighborhoods. Be sure to inform us of any such restrictions to avoid delays in the pickup process.
