Are you looking to donate your car this weekend but unsure of how to navigate the scheduling process? Cruz Fresno is here to make it easy for you! Our weekend car donation pickups are primarily available on Saturdays from 8 AM to 4 PM. You can reserve your spot conveniently through our online form. While Sunday pickups are possible, they are dependent on regional dispatcher availability, so it’s best to connect with us early to secure your donation time.
Please remember, we need you to confirm your weekend pickup by Friday afternoon. This helps us optimize our scheduling and ensures that our tow operators arrive promptly. Major holidays can shift our regular scheduling, so plan accordingly. Let’s turn your vehicle into a valuable donation while making it a smooth experience for you!

After your vehicle is picked up, you will receive an IRS 1098-C tax form by mail after the vehicle is sold, not at the time of pickup.

- Signed release form (if necessary)
- Pickup address confirmation
- Clear access path for tow truck
Honest expectations
When scheduling a weekend car donation pickup, it’s important to understand that while Saturday slots are widely available, Sunday pickups depend on dispatcher availability in specific areas. We strive to accommodate as many donors as possible but cannot guarantee same-day service everywhere. Additionally, for holiday weekends, be aware that scheduling may shift, and we may not operate on major holidays. Please confirm your donation request by Friday afternoon to ensure smooth processing.
How pickup logistics work
Our dispatcher coordinates with a network of local tow operators to manage pickups efficiently. If you’re donating on a Saturday, expect clear communication regarding your pickup time and arrival. On Sundays, the process is similar but may have regional variations based on dispatcher availability. Our goal is to minimize wait times and ensure a seamless experience for you.
Fresno pickup notes
In Fresno, we have a well-established network of tow operators, which allows us to provide timely service in both urban and suburban areas. However, if you live in rural locations, the availability of tow operators may vary and could affect scheduling. Additionally, keep in mind any local constraints, such as HOA permits or street-parking regulations, as these can impact the ability to access your vehicle during pickup.
