Here’s the simple timeline: in the Daytona Beach Area, BeachMoto Aid usually picks up your donated car within 24–48 hours of your first contact, sometimes even the same day. After we tow your vehicle for free, it’s sold within about 2–6 weeks. Your IRS acknowledgment or Form 1098‑C is mailed within 30 days of the sale. From your first call to tax paperwork in hand, plan on about 2–8 weeks total—yet your driveway can be cleared in as little as a day or two.
The process is fast, local, and low‑stress. Spend 2 minutes on a form or phone call, and our coordinator will call you back within 1–2 hours on weekdays to schedule your free pickup anywhere in the Daytona Beach Area—Daytona Beach, Ormond Beach, Port Orange, South Daytona, Holly Hill, New Smyrna Beach, and nearby coastal and inland neighborhoods. We handle non‑running cars, no inspection or repairs needed. Your vehicle goes directly to auction or a buyer, and proceeds support Heritage for the Blind, a 501(c)(3) helping people who are blind or visually impaired. Donate before December 31, with pickup confirmed by that date, and you can still claim your deduction for that tax year.

Free towing and your driveway is cleared
Same-day to 2 business daysMost Daytona Beach Area pickups happen within 24–48 hours of scheduling, often same‑day when you call earlier in the day. The tow company handles everything, whether the car starts or not. You hand over the keys and title (if available), sign a simple release, and your driveway is instantly decluttered.
Vehicle is sold to maximize your deduction
2–6 weeks after pickupAfter towing, BeachMoto Aid transports your car to auction or directly to a qualified buyer. Market demand and auction dates affect timing, but most vehicles from Daytona Beach, Port Orange, and nearby areas are sold within about 2–6 weeks of pickup. The sale price helps determine your possible tax deduction.
Tax paperwork mailed for your deduction
Within 30 days of sale (about 2–8 weeks from start)Once your vehicle sells, Heritage for the Blind mails your written IRS acknowledgment or Form 1098‑C within 30 days. Most Daytona Beach donors receive their tax paperwork about 2–8 weeks from their first call, depending on how quickly the vehicle sells. Keep this with your records for tax filing.
Why the process is genuinely fast

No inspection or prep required
There’s no pre‑inspection, emissions test, or detailing needed. Just remove personal items and have your title ready if you have it. We handle the paperwork and transport so you can move quickly and still receive the documentation needed for a potential tax deduction.
