Need your car gone fast in St. Petersburg? With Gulf Wheels, same-day donation pickup is often available across Tampa Bay when you call before noon on a weekday. In almost every case, we can get your vehicle picked up within 24–48 hours anywhere in the region. Your car doesn’t need to run, pass inspection, or even have current tags. Our licensed tow partner comes right to your driveway, at no cost to you, and you get a tax receipt for your donation to Heritage for the Blind.
Here’s how it works in St. Pete: you call or complete our 2-minute online form with your vehicle details and preferred time. Our dispatch team (running Monday through Saturday) checks availability with local towers serving neighborhoods like Old Northeast, Kenwood, Jungle Terrace, Shore Acres, and up through Clearwater, Largo, and Pinellas Park. As long as you have a signed title ready, we schedule the earliest pickup window—often later today if you contact us before early afternoon. The driver meets you at home, work, or your apartment complex, handles the paperwork and tow for free, and your garage or parking space is cleared the same day.

Start your donation in about 2 minutes
A quick call or our short online form is all it takes to lock in your spot with dispatch. Share your vehicle details and location once, and we handle the rest—no long questionnaires or back-and-forth required.
Monday–Saturday dispatch for flexible scheduling
Our donation dispatch team operates Monday through Saturday, giving you more options to match your move-out date, insurance lapse, or lease deadline. We work to fit your schedule, not the other way around.
Non-running and damaged cars are welcome
Your vehicle does not need to start, drive, or pass inspection for same-day or next-day service. We routinely tow cars with dead batteries, bad engines, flats, or accident damage at no cost to you.
No inspections, repairs, or fees required
There is never a charge for pickup. You don’t need to fix issues, pass emissions, or complete any mechanical work. As long as you have a signed title and accessible parking, we’ll handle the rest.
