Ready to donate your car in Kentucky today? With Ride for Good, you can start and complete your donation right now in just 2 minutes. A live coordinator from Heritage for the Blind is available Monday through Saturday to confirm your vehicle details and schedule your free pickup. In most Kentucky metro areas—Louisville, Lexington, Northern Kentucky/Covington, Bowling Green—weekday calls before noon can be picked up the same day. Otherwise, we’ll get you on the schedule for the next business day.
Here’s exactly how it works in Kentucky: start by calling or using our fast online form. A coordinator reviews your car’s year, make, model, condition, and exact location—whether you’re in the Highlands or Fern Creek in Louisville, Hamburg or Beaumont in Lexington, around Florence or Newport in Northern Kentucky, or in smaller communities from Elizabethtown to Pikeville. Your car does not need to run; we send a flatbed at no cost. We tow the vehicle, handle all paperwork with Heritage for the Blind (a 501(c)(3)), and after it sells—typically within 30 days—you receive a written tax receipt that meets IRS Form 1098-C requirements for donations over $500.

You don’t have to wait for a call back days later. Heritage for the Blind coordinators are available Monday through Saturday to confirm details, answer title questions, and secure the earliest available tow time that fits your schedule.
Non-running and damaged cars welcome
Your car does not have to run or pass any test. We can pick up vehicles with dead batteries, bad transmissions, or accident damage anywhere in Kentucky using free flatbed service, so you can donate without paying for repairs or jump-starts.
No inspections, emissions, or showings
You skip the hassles of selling: no emissions checks, no stranger test drives, and no bargaining. Once you schedule, the tow truck comes directly to you, handles loading, and you’re done—just sign the title and keep your tax receipt.
