Tow Fees

What it costs to move a non-running vehicle — covered entirely by Cars Helping Kids, never the donor.

What it means

Cars Helping Kids pays 100% of tow fees. There is no situation where a donor is asked to pay for pickup. Our towing partners receive a flat fee for each pickup; that comes out of auction proceeds, not the donor's pocket. If you're ever asked to pay a tow fee, the call is not from us.
