If you're looking to donate your car, Orlando Auto Ally makes the process simple and convenient, especially over the weekend. Whether you have an old vehicle taking up space or you want to support local charities, we're here to help. Our Saturday pickups are broadly available from 8 AM to 4 PM, ensuring that you can schedule a time that works for you. Sundays offer limited regional options, so it’s best to call or submit your request ahead of time to secure a slot.
For holiday weekends, we want to make sure you’re aware that we may not be able to operate on major holidays, and scheduling may shift. To ensure your donation process runs smoothly, it's essential to confirm your pickup by Friday afternoon. Donating your car shouldn’t be a hassle, and we’re committed to making it as easy as possible for you.

Honest expectations
While we strive to accommodate weekend pickups, please understand that same-day pickups may not always be possible, especially on Sundays where availability is dispatcher-dependent. For weekends, we recommend booking ahead, especially during busy periods or holidays. If you miss the Friday afternoon confirmation deadline, your request may be postponed, so plan accordingly to avoid disappointment.
How pickup logistics work
At Orlando Auto Ally, our dispatcher coordinates with a network of local tow operators to ensure efficient pickups. When you schedule your donation, our team communicates with you about the expected arrival time, and our tow operators maintain open lines of communication on the day of pickup to provide updates. This network allows us to handle multiple pickups while still delivering a personalized experience.
Orlando pickup notes
In Orlando, we are fortunate to have a dense network of tow operators, which allows for efficient weekend pickups in urban and suburban areas. However, rural areas may have different timeframes and logistical challenges. Be mindful of any local regulations, such as HOA permits or street-parking rules, which could impact access for our tow trucks. We recommend ensuring your vehicle is accessible to avoid delays.
