When you donate a vehicle through Arkansas Auto Bridge, your car stays local to Arkansas while its impact reaches neighbors who need it most. We arrange a free pickup right from your driveway or curb and direct the proceeds to Heritage for the Blind, supporting services for people who are blind or visually impaired. Whether you live in a busy neighborhood or a quiet rural road, we coordinate a local tow partner who knows Arkansas roads and communities.
We serve donors throughout Arkansas—from downtown blocks and historic districts to spread-out country properties. In Little Rock, we come to Hillcrest, The Heights, Capitol View/Stifft Station, Riverdale, and out toward Chenal Valley and Mabelvale. Around Fayetteville we reach Washington–Willow, Wilson Park, and out toward Farmington and Elkins. In Fort Smith we pick up in Chaffee Crossing, Fianna Hills, and nearby Barling and Van Buren. We also arrange pickups around Jonesboro, Conway, Hot Springs, Benton, Sherwood, Jacksonville, Pine Bluff, and beyond. You don’t drive the vehicle anywhere; we come to you, handle the towing at no cost, and help you with the paperwork so your gift can quickly start supporting your Arkansas community.
How to schedule your free local pickup
1. Tell us about your Arkansas vehicle
Start online or by phone and share a few basics: your vehicle’s location in Arkansas, whether it runs, and how we can reach you. Let us know if you’re in a tight downtown area, an apartment complex, or a rural property so we can plan the right tow truck.
2. Choose a pickup day that fits your schedule
We’ll confirm coverage for your address—whether you’re in Little Rock, Fayetteville, Fort Smith, Jonesboro, or a smaller town—and offer pickup windows. City addresses often have more flexible slots; rural routes may need a bit more lead time for routing.
3. Prepare keys, title, and access on pickup day
Before the truck arrives, clear personal items from the vehicle and have the title and keys ready. Tell us about gate codes, security desks, or HOA rules so your local tow driver can reach the car without delays or extra trips.
4. Meet the tow driver—or arrange a no-contact pickup
In many Arkansas neighborhoods, you can leave signed paperwork and keys in an agreed safe spot for a no-contact pickup. Where a signature or parking coordination is needed, simply meet the driver curbside for a quick handoff.
5. Receive your tax receipt and confirmation by mail
After your car is picked up and processed, you’ll receive a tax receipt. For most vehicles, this will reflect at least a $500 deduction; for higher amounts, we’ll provide the IRS Form 1098-C details so you can file correctly.
6. Know your local gift is helping Arkansas neighbors
Your donated vehicle is sold, and the proceeds support Heritage for the Blind’s programs for people who are blind or visually impaired. Your local Arkansas donation becomes accessible services, resources, and support for people in communities like yours.
Local pickup gotchas
Tight city streets, alleys, and downtown parking
Tip: In denser Arkansas areas—like downtown Little Rock, Fayetteville’s Dickson Street area, or near the River Market—large flatbed trucks may have limited access. If possible, park your vehicle on a nearby accessible street or lot and tell us about any height, alley, or loading-zone restrictions.
Gated communities, security desks, and HOA rules
Tip: Neighborhoods in places like Chenal Valley, West Little Rock, or newer Conway and Benton subdivisions often have gates or parking rules. Share gate codes, guard instructions, and any HOA towing policies upfront so the driver can enter and safely remove the vehicle without delays.
Very rural or unpaved driveway locations
Tip: Across rural Arkansas—whether outside places like Pine Bluff, Mountain Home, or small towns in the Ozarks—steep, muddy, or narrow gravel driveways can limit access. Let us know the road conditions; we’ll decide where the truck can safely reach and may ask you to position the car closer to a main road if possible.
Missing title or mismatched registration
Tip: Arkansas title issues can slow the donation. If the title is lost, damaged, or not in your name, tell us before scheduling pickup. We can explain what’s generally needed so you can work with the Arkansas Office of Motor Vehicle to resolve it before the tow truck arrives.
If at-home pickup is tricky
If an at-home pickup isn’t simple—for example, your Arkansas driveway is too steep for a flatbed, your vehicle is inside a parking garage, or your HOA has strict towing rules—there are still options. In some cases, a friend or family member can move the car to a more accessible street or nearby lot on pickup day. We can also coordinate with property managers or building maintenance in places like apartment complexes around Little Rock, Fayetteville, or Jonesboro. If none of that works, we’ll talk through timing, different truck types, or temporary parking alternatives so your donation can still move forward without putting you under pressure.
Arkansas pickup coverage
Arkansas Auto Bridge serves donors throughout Arkansas (AR), from Little Rock and North Little Rock to Fayetteville, Springdale, Rogers, and Bentonville in Northwest Arkansas, and out to Jonesboro, Conway, Russellville, Hot Springs, and Texarkana. City pickups often happen faster thanks to more local tow partners, while very rural addresses in the Delta, the Ozark Mountains, or Ouachita areas may need extra time for routing. When you donate, you’ll usually sign your Arkansas title over to the charity and remove your license plates, following Arkansas Office of Motor Vehicle guidance. Our team will walk you through the basic steps so your local donation is both smooth and compliant.
