Life can get busy, and finding the right time to donate your car can be challenging. If you’re working late or simply not at home during the standard hours of operation, our After-Hours Car Pickup service is designed for you. We understand that evenings, particularly from 4 PM to 7 PM, are often the best times for a seamless donation process.
By preparing in advance and ensuring everything is in place, you can successfully schedule your evening pickup with ease. Simply coordinate with our dispatcher to agree on a safe location for your car keys and title. This service is especially convenient during the longer summer days when visibility is better, allowing our tow operators to complete the pickup efficiently and safely.

Honest expectations
While we strive to accommodate evening pickups within 24 hours of your request, please be aware that the nature of after-hours service may introduce some variability. During peak times, same-day pickups may not always be feasible, especially in rural areas or due to scheduling conflicts. Additionally, it’s important to note that while we require a signed title at pickup, IRS 1098-C forms will be mailed to you after the sale of the vehicle, not at the time of pickup.
How pickup logistics work
Our dispatcher plays a crucial role in coordinating your pickup. They will communicate with you regarding your preferences and ensure that the tow operator is informed of your specific instructions about the vehicle’s location. Our network of experienced tow operators is trained to ensure your vehicle is handled safely and efficiently, adhering to all local safety regulations during the pickup process.
South Carolina pickup notes
In South Carolina, the density of tow operators varies by region, with urban areas generally having quicker response times compared to rural locations. Be mindful of neighborhood access rules, especially in HOA-regulated communities where permits may be required for pickups. Street parking availability and visibility during evening hours can affect the ease of pickup, so please ensure that your vehicle is parked in a safe, accessible location.
