Which Idaho cities do you serve?

Every community in Idaho is served, including Boise, Meridian, Nampa and Idaho Falls. If your town is not listed on the site, pickup is still available — enter your ZIP code on the form.

Does towing cost anything in Idaho?

No. Towing anywhere in Idaho is free, and the cost is never passed back to you or deducted from your receipt.

How soon can a vehicle be picked up in Idaho?

Most donors hear from a coordinator the same day they submit the form, and pickup is usually scheduled within a few business days, depending on tow availability in Idaho and the time that works for you.

Do I have to be present for the Idaho pickup?

Usually someone should be there to hand over the keys and any paperwork, but if that is not possible, tell the coordinator when they call and they will go through the alternatives with you.

Will you accept a vehicle in Idaho that does not run?

Yes. Non-running vehicles are accepted throughout Idaho. Flat tires, a dead battery, a failed inspection or years of sitting still are all fine — just describe the condition on the form.

Cars, trucks, SUVs, vans, motorcycles, RVs and boats are all accepted from Idaho donors — any make, model or model year.
