Need your car gone fast in Hartford? With Drive Forward, same-day pickup is available in most of the Hartford Metro when you call before noon on a weekday, and next-day pickup is available almost everywhere. Your car does not need to run, pass inspection, or even have current insurance. A licensed tow truck comes right to your address in Hartford, West Hartford, East Hartford, Newington, Manchester, or nearby—at no cost to you—and you receive a tax receipt that can qualify you for a $500+ charitable deduction.
The process is simple: have your signed Connecticut title ready, call our Hartford-area donation line for the fastest scheduling, and we’ll connect you with Heritage for the Blind’s Monday–Saturday dispatch team. They’ll confirm the earliest time window—often later today or tomorrow—and send a professional towing partner to your home, workplace, storage lot, or garage. You don’t need to clean the car or make repairs. Once it’s picked up, your driveway is clear, your deadline is met, and you’ll receive your IRS-compliant donation paperwork by mail. If timing is truly urgent—for a move, insurance lapse, or condo parking rules—pick up the phone now and we’ll work to get you on today’s Hartford Metro route.

Free tow truck arrives at your Hartford-area location
15–30 minutes at pickupA licensed tow truck meets you at home, work, or a storage lot in Hartford, East Hartford, Bloomfield, New Britain, or surrounding suburbs. The car does not need to run or pass inspection. You hand over the title and keys, sign a simple release, and the driver loads the vehicle at no cost to you.
Driveway cleared and deadlines met
Same day to 48 hoursOnce the tow truck pulls away, your driveway, garage, or parking spot is finally clear—often that same day in the Hartford Metro. This helps you avoid storage fees, HOA fines, or gaps in insurance coverage. Your donation begins working to support services for people who are blind or visually impaired.

Why the process is genuinely fast
Same-day pickup in Hartford Metro
When you call before noon on a weekday, we can often arrange same-day towing in the Hartford Metro, including nearby towns like West Hartford, East Hartford, and Newington. Calling is best for urgent, must-move-today situations.
Start in just 2 minutes
Our streamlined online form or quick phone intake takes about two minutes. You provide basic vehicle details and your Hartford-area location, and we move immediately to scheduling so your car can be gone as early as today or tomorrow.
Monday–Saturday dispatch coverage
Heritage for the Blind’s dispatch team works Monday through Saturday, giving you six days a week of scheduling flexibility. That means more chances to land a same-day or next-day slot that fits your work schedule or moving timeline.
Non-running, failed-inspection cars welcome
Your vehicle does not need to start, drive, or pass Connecticut inspection. Flooded, damaged, or long‑parked cars are fine. Our Hartford-area towing partners can safely winch and remove vehicles that haven’t moved in years.
No repairs, emissions, or prep needed
Skip the mechanic, emissions test, or detailing. As long as you have a signed title and the vehicle is accessible, we can pick it up. You save time and still receive a charitable tax receipt for your donation to Heritage for the Blind.
