New York pickup notes
New York City presents unique challenges and advantages for car donations. With a high density of tow operators, we can usually offer efficient pickups even in urban areas. However, be mindful of local street parking rules and possible HOA permits, particularly in suburban neighborhoods. If you live in a busy area, ensure there’s adequate visibility and access for our tow operators to safely collect your vehicle during the evening hours.
