In Louisville, most Bluegrass Auto Gift donors go from first call to an empty driveway in just 24–48 hours. In many Louisville Metro neighborhoods, we can even arrange same-day or next-business-day pickup. It starts with a quick 2-minute online form or phone call. Once you submit, a local coordinator calls to schedule a free tow—often for later today or tomorrow. At pickup, you hand over the keys and title, sign a few spots, and your car is gone. No haggling, no repairs, no strangers at your house.
We work all across Louisville Metro—from the Highlands, St. Matthews, Jeffersontown, and Fern Creek to Shively, PRP, Valley Station, Newburg, and Okolona—as well as surrounding areas like Clarksville, Jeffersonville, and New Albany. Your vehicle does not have to run, and there’s no inspection required. Our drivers handle the heavy lifting; you just sign the title at pickup or mail it in within a few days if needed. After the vehicle sells, you receive a written tax acknowledgment from Heritage for the Blind, a 501(c)(3), typically within a few business days of the sale. If you’re ready to clear your driveway fast and help people who are blind or visually impaired, you can start right now.

Why the process is genuinely fast
2-minute start from anywhere in Louisville
The entire donation process begins with a simple 2-minute form or phone call. You can start from your couch in Germantown, your office in downtown Louisville, or your driveway in PRP—no photos, no listings, no long questionnaires required.
Same-day or next-day pickup in most areas
In much of Louisville Metro, including St. Matthews, Jeffersontown, Okolona, and Fern Creek, we can often schedule pickup the same day you contact us or the very next business day, depending on the time of your request and truck availability.
Monday–Saturday dispatch flexibility
Our donation coordinators work Monday through Saturday, giving you options beyond a tight weekday schedule. We’ll work to find a time window that fits your life, whether that’s a weekday morning in the Highlands or a Saturday slot in Valley Station.
Non-running and damaged cars are welcome
Your vehicle does not need to run, pass emissions, or be pretty. We regularly tow non-running and damaged cars from driveways, carports, and parking lots across Louisville, saving you the time, cost, and stress of repairs or arranging a private sale.
No inspection, photos, or repairs needed
You don’t have to clean the car, take photos, show it to strangers, or fix anything. There’s no pre-donation inspection. Once you provide basic info and schedule, we pick the car up as-is, free of charge, and you’re done in one quick visit.
