In Sacramento, most SacraCar Share donors go from first contact to a cleared driveway in just 24–48 hours—and often the very same day. You start with a quick 2-minute online form or phone call. From there, our local coordinators get to work immediately, arranging fast, free pickup anywhere in the Sacramento Metro area. In many cases, we can have a tow truck at your curb later today or by the next business day, so the car is out of your driveway without you lifting a finger.
Here’s how it works in Sacramento: you give us a few basic details about your vehicle and pickup location—whether you’re in Midtown, Land Park, Natomas, Elk Grove, Citrus Heights, Folsom, or Roseville. A SacraCar Share coordinator confirms a pickup window that fits your schedule, Monday through Saturday. The tow driver comes to your home, office, or shop at no cost to you, and you sign over the title at pickup or mail it in shortly after. Once your vehicle sells, you receive a written tax acknowledgment from Heritage for the Blind, a 501(c)(3) supporting people who are blind or visually impaired. From first click to empty driveway, Sacramento donors are typically done within 24–48 hours.

Free tow truck arrives and removes your car
30–45 minutes at pickupOn your scheduled day, a professional tow partner arrives at your Sacramento address—home, office, or repair shop—at no cost to you. Running or not, wrecked or old, we handle loading and removal. Your driveway, carport, or curb spot is cleared on the spot, usually within 30–45 minutes of the truck’s arrival.
Sign or send in your title
5–10 minutesMost donors simply sign the title over to SacraCar Share at pickup. If you don’t have it handy, you can mail it within a few days according to the simple instructions we provide. No DMV visit is usually required. We’ll guide you through each line so the paperwork is completed correctly and quickly for California.
Receive your tax acknowledgment
Within a few business days of saleAfter your car is sold, you receive a written tax acknowledgment by mail or email from Heritage for the Blind, a 501(c)(3) charity. This document supports your potential federal tax deduction (use IRS Form 1098-C for qualifying donations). By this point, your Sacramento driveway has been clear for days—and your donation is already helping people who are blind or visually impaired.
