If you have a vehicle taking up space or if it’s not running, donating it to Penn Heritage Rides is an excellent way to help local charities while enjoying a hassle-free towing experience. You won’t incur any out-of-pocket expenses because the proceeds from the auction will cover the towing costs. Whether your vehicle is running, partially functioning, or completely totaled, we can still accept your donation and put it to good use.

Successful scheduling comes down to having accurate information about your vehicle and ensuring that the pickup location is accessible.

Honest expectations
While we strive to provide same-day or next-day service, actual pickup timing can depend on various factors, including scheduling availability and location. In some rural areas, it may take longer to arrange for a tow. If you're hoping for weekend service or after-hours pickups, please note that options may be limited. However, we’ll do our best to accommodate your needs within realistic timeframes.
How pickup logistics work
After you schedule your pickup, our dispatcher will coordinate with an extensive network of local tow operators to ensure a smooth process. You’ll receive clear communication regarding the tow truck’s arrival time, and our team is always available to answer any questions. Each tow operator is trained to handle your vehicle with care, ensuring a seamless transition from donation to auction.
Pennsylvania pickup notes
In Pennsylvania, the density of tow operators varies between urban, suburban, and rural regions. While urban areas may have more flexible and quicker pickup options, some rural locations may have limited availability. Be mindful of local constraints such as HOA permits or street-parking regulations that may affect the ease of vehicle access for towing. Always check your local rules to avoid complications.
