How to donate a car in Gainesville
Gainesville car donation through Florida Hauling runs in three steps. Submit vehicle info online or call — year, make, model, Gainesville or Alachua County address. Free pickup gets scheduled, typically within one to two business days in Gainesville. UF campus area, Haile Plantation, and Jonesville get prompt scheduling. Towing is free regardless of vehicle condition.
After the donated vehicle sells at auction, Florida Hauling mails IRS Form 1098-C within 30 days. That form documents the actual sale price for your federal tax deduction. The full donation process takes two to three weeks. Gainesville donors moving after a faculty appointment or UF graduation often need a quick pickup timeline, and Florida Hauling can accommodate those requests with a direct call. Rural Alachua County addresses are covered — call to confirm timing for addresses outside Gainesville city limits.
