Wondering how fast you can get that car out of your driveway in Montana? With Big Sky Rides, most donors go from first contact to a cleared driveway in just 24–48 hours—and in many metro areas, we can pick up the same day. It starts with a simple 2‑minute online form or phone call. From there, our local team coordinates a free tow at a time that works for you, Monday through Saturday, so you’re not waiting around for days.
We know Montana life moves between early shifts and long drives—whether you’re in Billings Heights, the Rattlesnake neighborhood in Missoula, the West End in Billings, the Southside of Great Falls, on the edge of Bozeman near Four Corners, or out along the Hi‑Line. Once you submit your info, a coordinator quickly contacts you to schedule pickup, often the same day or next business day. The tow truck comes right to your home, ranch, or workplace, you sign the title at pickup or mail it within a few days, and your driveway or yard is clear—usually within 24–48 hours. After your vehicle is sold, Big Sky Rides sends you a written tax acknowledgment for your records, and the proceeds help Heritage for the Blind serve people who are blind or visually impaired.

Why the process is genuinely fast
Most cars gone in 24–48 hours
From your first 2‑minute form or call to an empty driveway, most Montana donors see their vehicle picked up within 24–48 hours. That includes city neighborhoods and many nearby rural routes, so your car isn’t sitting for weeks.
Same-day pickup often available
In and around major Montana areas—Billings, Missoula, Great Falls, Bozeman, Helena, and Kalispell—tow trucks are often available for same‑day or next‑business‑day pickup, depending on when you contact us and local truck availability.
2-minute start, no inspection
You can launch the entire donation in about two minutes. We don’t require an inspection, photos, or repair estimates up front. Just basic vehicle details, so there’s nothing slowing you down from getting that spot cleared quickly.
Monday–Saturday pickup windows
Big Sky Rides operates Monday through Saturday with flexible pickup windows. Whether you work shifts at the hospital in Missoula or ranch outside Laurel, we work around your schedule instead of making you wait for a single weekday slot.
Non-running and damaged cars OK
Don’t worry if your car is dead, damaged, or hasn’t moved since the last big storm. We can tow non‑running vehicles at no charge, so you can donate that old car or truck without paying for repairs or a separate tow first.
