Wait for the tow truck driver to call. The two company dispatched to pick up your vehicle will need to set up an appointment to pick up your vehicle. The tow truck driver can be dispatched at any time, any day of the week, and towing usually takes place within 24 hours of the original call. The tow truck driver will issue a receipt for up to $500. Keep this receipt, as it can be used as a tax deduction.

Locate the title and keys to your vehicle. The title is not needed for a car donation to the UHO. If a title to your vehicle cannot be found, they will take care of all of the paperwork at the DMV. If you can find it, however, make sure to sign the back of the title under the "seller" area. Once this is taken care of, place these items in the glove box of the vehicle before it gets picked up.
