Want your car out of your Hartford driveway fast? With Drive Forward, most donors in the Hartford Metro go from first contact to an empty driveway in just 24–48 hours, and same-day pickup is often available. It all starts with a simple 2-minute online form or quick phone call. Once you submit, our coordinator goes to work right away to match you with the next available tow truck—at no cost to you.
We regularly pick up in downtown Hartford, West Hartford, East Hartford, Newington, Wethersfield, Bloomfield, Manchester, Glastonbury, and across surrounding suburbs. Your car doesn’t have to run, and you don’t need to clean it up or get it inspected. You simply schedule a convenient time, hand over the keys and sign your title at pickup (or mail it within a few days), and we handle the rest. After your vehicle is sold, Heritage for the Blind emails or mails your tax acknowledgment so you can claim a deduction. If you’re ready to clear your driveway and make a real impact for people who are blind or visually impaired, you can start right now in under two minutes.
