Want your car gone fast in Delaware? With First State Autos, most donors go from first contact to an empty driveway in just 24–48 hours—and in many Delaware metro areas, pickup can be scheduled as soon as the same day. It starts with a quick 2-minute online form or phone call. Once you submit, a live coordinator confirms your details and locks in the earliest tow time that works for you. Our towing partner shows up at your home, workplace, or storage lot, and your old vehicle is out of the way with no fees and minimal hassle.
We know you don’t want a car sitting in your driveway in Wilmington, Newark, Dover, Middletown, Bear, or Rehoboth Beach any longer than necessary. That’s why First State Autos runs Monday through Saturday with flexible pickup windows, including mornings, afternoons, and early evenings. We can remove running or non-running vehicles from driveways, street parking, apartments, or rural properties across New Castle, Kent, and Sussex counties. You sign the Delaware title at pickup (or mail it in a few days if needed), and once the car sells, Heritage for the Blind emails or mails your tax acknowledgment. Fast, local, and donation-ready—start your 2-minute form now and we’ll work to get your car gone within 24–48 hours.

Why the process is genuinely fast
Often same-day pickup in Delaware metros
In and around Wilmington, Newark, Middletown, and Dover, we can frequently schedule a tow truck for the same day or the very next business day, depending on the time you contact us and local driver availability.
2-minute start from anywhere in the First State
Whether your car is in a Wilmington rowhome driveway, a Newark apartment lot, or a Sussex County farm lane, it takes about two minutes to start your donation by form or phone so we can begin lining up your pickup.
Monday–Saturday dispatch windows
First State Autos and our towing partners operate six days a week. That flexibility means we can usually match your schedule, from early-week pickups in New Castle County to Saturday slots at the beach or downstate.
Non-running and damaged cars welcome
No need to spend days arranging repairs or inspections. We accept most vehicles as-is—non-running, damaged, or older—and tow them at no cost, saving you the time and hassle of prepping the car for sale.
No inspection or emissions needed
Skip DMV lines and inspection lanes in Delaware. Your car does not need to pass inspection or have current registration. We remove it quickly and handle the rest once you sign over the title.
