Want your car out of the driveway in a day or two? With Lancaster Motor Gifts, most Lancaster County donors go from a 2-minute online form or quick phone call to an empty parking spot in just 24–48 hours. In many Lancaster-area neighborhoods, we can even arrange same-day pickup, Monday through Saturday. Your title is signed at pickup or mailed shortly afterward, and your tax acknowledgment arrives soon after the vehicle is sold.
We serve drivers all across Lancaster—from downtown and Manheim Pike to Fruitville, Lampeter, Millersville, East and West Hempfield, Lititz, Ephrata, Mountville, and beyond. Once you submit the short form, a local coordinator contacts you to lock in a convenient time window. A professional tow truck comes right to your home, work, or shop at no charge. There’s no inspection, no emissions test, and non-running cars are welcome. You hand over the keys and title, we tow it away, and Lancaster Motor Gifts directs proceeds to Heritage for the Blind, a 501(c)(3) helping people who are blind or visually impaired. Start now and have your driveway clear within a day or two.
