Wondering how fast you can donate your car in New York? With Metro Wheels, most donors in the New York City Metro go from first contact to a cleared driveway in just 24–48 hours. In many neighborhoods, we can schedule same‑day pickup. You start with a quick 2‑minute online form or phone call, we lock in your tow time, and our driver comes to you—at no cost—to take the car and help with the title.
We know space is tight in New York. Whether you’re in Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, Staten Island, or suburbs like Yonkers, New Rochelle, Jersey City, or Hoboken, Metro Wheels coordinates fast pickup around your schedule, Monday through Saturday. You sign the title at pickup (or mail it within a few days if needed), and we handle the rest. After your vehicle sells, you’ll receive a written tax acknowledgment from Heritage for the Blind, a registered 501(c)(3) supporting people who are blind or visually impaired. Start now and have your driveway, curb spot, or garage clear as soon as today or tomorrow.

Why the process is genuinely fast
Often same‑day pickup in the NYC Metro
For many New York City Metro addresses, we can schedule towing the same day you contact us, especially if you reach out earlier in the day. If same‑day isn’t available, we usually pick up the next business day.
2‑minute start from your phone or laptop
You can launch your donation in about two minutes—on your phone from the subway, at your office in Midtown, or from your couch in Astoria. No paperwork to print, no photos to upload, and no in‑person visit required.
Monday–Saturday dispatch for busy New Yorkers
We schedule pickups Monday through Saturday with flexible windows, so you don’t have to skip work or rearrange your whole day. Evening and off‑peak options are often available in many NYC neighborhoods.
Non‑running and damaged cars are welcome
Your car doesn’t need to pass inspection or even start. Whether it’s been sitting in a Brooklyn driveway or a Queens garage for years, we’ll tow it at no cost and still complete your donation quickly.
No inspection, emissions test, or repairs needed
We accept vehicles as‑is. You don’t need to drive to a shop, pay for inspection, or invest in repairs. Skip the hassles and have Metro Wheels pick it up directly from your New York address.
