If you have a vehicle you no longer need, donating it on the weekend is a convenient option that fits your busy schedule. At Rev Up Local, we offer car donation pickups on Saturdays and limited availability on Sundays, making it easy for you to contribute to a worthy cause right from your home in St. Louis.
To ensure a smooth and timely pickup, it's important to schedule your donation in advance. Our Saturday windows typically run from 8 AM to 4 PM, while Sunday pickups depend on regional dispatch availability. For major holidays, we are closed, so plan accordingly. Confirm your pickup slot by Friday afternoon for the best chance at securing your preferred time.
Step-by-step timeline
Complete the Donation Form
Fill out the car donation form on our website, providing details about your vehicle. Our team will review your submission and reach out to confirm your pickup.
Confirm Your Appointment
By Friday afternoon, you'll receive confirmation of your scheduled pickup slot. Be sure to check your email or phone for updates.
Prepare Your Vehicle
Have your keys, title, and signed release ready. Ensure there’s access to your vehicle, whether it’s in a driveway or on the street.
Meet the Tow Operator
On your scheduled pickup day, our tow operator will arrive within the agreed time window. Be available to hand over the keys and title.
Receive Your Tax Receipt
After your vehicle is picked up, you will receive an IRS 1098-C tax receipt via mail. This will be sent after the vehicle is sold.
What you need ready
- Vehicle title (signed at pickup if available)
- Keys to the vehicle
- A signed release of liability
- Confirmation of your address for pickup
- Clear access path to the vehicle for the tow truck
Honest expectations
While we strive to accommodate all donors, same-day pickups may not be feasible for all areas. Our weekend services are primarily focused on Saturdays, and Sunday availability can vary greatly depending on dispatch capabilities in your region. For best results, we recommend confirming your weekend pickup by Friday afternoon. Please note that major holidays will affect our scheduling, so plan ahead.
How pickup logistics work
Pickup logistics involve coordination between our dispatch team and a network of local tow operators. Once you schedule your pickup, our dispatcher will ensure a tow operator is assigned to your appointment. Communication is key; you’ll receive updates as needed leading up to your pickup time to keep you in the loop.
St. Louis pickup notes
In St. Louis, the density of tow operators means we can efficiently serve urban, suburban, and even some rural areas. However, be mindful of potential local constraints, like HOA permits or street-parking regulations. If your vehicle is parked on a street, ensure you comply with local rules to avoid any issues during pickup.
