If you’re ready to donate your car in Montana today, Big Sky Rides makes it fast and straightforward. Start right now with our simple 2‑minute online form or call to reach a live Heritage for the Blind coordinator Monday–Saturday. In most Montana metro areas, when you contact us before noon on a weekday, we can arrange same‑day pickup. Otherwise, your car is typically picked up the next business day, so your driveway can be clear within 24–48 hours.
Here’s how it works across Montana—from Billings, Missoula, Great Falls, Bozeman, and Butte to the Flathead Valley, Helena, Kalispell, and the Bitterroot. A Heritage for the Blind coordinator confirms your vehicle’s year, make, model, condition, and exact location, then schedules a free tow or flatbed pickup. Your car does not need to run; no emissions or safety inspection is required. The licensed tow partner meets you (or follows your permission instructions), hands you basic pickup paperwork, and hauls the vehicle away at no cost. After the car is sold—typically within about 30 days—you’ll receive a written tax receipt that meets IRS Form 1098‑C requirements for donations valued over $500.
