If you’re ready to donate your car today in South Carolina, you’re in the right place. With Palmetto Wheels Exchange, you can start in just 2 minutes and, in most metro areas, we’ll schedule free towing for the same day (when you call before noon on a weekday) or the very next business day. Your car doesn’t need to run, and you’ll receive a written tax receipt after it sells, typically within 30 days, meeting IRS Form 1098-C requirements for donations over $500.
Here’s how it works across South Carolina: you either complete our fast online form or call to reach a live coordinator for Heritage for the Blind, the 501(c)(3) we support. We’ll confirm your vehicle’s year, make, model, condition, and exact location—from Greenville, Spartanburg, and Anderson to Columbia, Lexington, and Irmo, as well as Charleston, North Charleston, Mount Pleasant, Myrtle Beach, Rock Hill, and beyond. Then we lock in your pickup window, dispatch a tow or flatbed truck, handle all paperwork at pickup, and process your tax acknowledgment after the sale. It’s a simple, one-call process to clear your driveway and help people who are blind or visually impaired in South Carolina and nationwide.

Why the process is genuinely fast
2-minute donation start
Our streamlined online form and direct phone intake mean you can officially start your South Carolina car donation in about two minutes. Once we have the basics, we move straight into scheduling your free pickup.
Same-day or next-day pickup
In most South Carolina metro areas—like Columbia, Charleston, Greenville, and Myrtle Beach—weekday calls before noon can be picked up the same day. Otherwise, we target the next business day to get your car off your hands quickly.
Monday–Saturday live dispatch
You’re not leaving a message and hoping. Live Heritage for the Blind coordinators are available Monday–Saturday to confirm details and dispatch local towers, so your donation doesn’t sit waiting over long weekends or busy weeks.
Non-running and damaged cars welcome
Your vehicle does not have to start, drive, or pass inspection. We arrange free tow-truck or flatbed service so even totaled, non-running, or heavily worn cars can be picked up and still support programs for people who are blind or visually impaired.
No pre-donation inspection or repairs
You do not need to fix, clean, or certify your vehicle before donating. Tell us the honest condition over the phone or online, and we’ll handle the rest—saving you time and getting you to pickup and tax paperwork faster.
