How much are the fees for a vehicle that is towed by the local police?

It will very upon location and local ordinance and state laws. Every State and City has laws that say the maximum that a tow company can charge when towing a vehicle for the police as an "impound".

In my city, the tow fee is $120.00 (set fee) and then 2.00 bucks a mile. They then also charge storage fees of 20 bucks a day. All of THAT money goes to the tow company.

You need to call the police and find out where it is and get it out asap. These fees will add up quick and they will want all money in cash, up front before they release it.

It you just leave the vehicle there, after a time approved by law (usually 30 to 90 days) they (tow company) will apply to have the title transferred to they as abandoned and then they will own the vehicle and sell it.

It was towed as a parking violation / abandoned in the first place. So, don't just bring it back or its going to get hauled again.

Most in-town tows are going to run between $60-100. The best advice to go get it as quickly as you can, because the storage fees are what really add up quickly. Some places can charge up to $75/day! And that's in the suburbs! I don't know if you live in a city or not, but if so, I would have to think it would be even more expensive.

ON top of that would be if the Jeep was impounded. Those fees would be above and beyond the tow and the storage.... It's not a good outlook I am afraid. While different municipalities have different costs associated with them, they won't be cheap!

Sorry to hear of the problem!

At least a hundred for the tow shop. I don't know what the ticket is going to be. Were you parked near a traffic light or fire hydrant? Were you blocking someone's drive? It sounds more like you have neighbor problems. As long as you are moving the vehicle and not parking in an illegal zone, they should have left you alone. Me thinks there is more to this story.

I have had my car booted or towed many times, including a Jeep I once had.

The fees will vary by jurisdiction. Expect to have to pay any past-due parking fines and late penalties.

Best way to get a specific answer is simpy to call the municipal impound lot where the car was taken.

Depends on the agency. Probably have to pay any outstanding tickets, plus the towing fee (may be $120-150-at a guess--if large city), plus a daily fee, for each day there.

WHO OWNS THE CAR??? IF he owns the car and can't drive it, he's responsible, and it will be his word against the cop's word as for who was driving. What the heck was the girlfriend driving the car for without a license at all?? Sorry, but it sounds as if you should leave the van in police possession and forget it. The police are saying that your son was driving.....with his record, them's the facts.

In NorCal its usually in the ball park of $100 for the tow, then $X.XX amount per night that its stored before the owner picks it up. Theres also the citation that will have to be paid.

100-200. Depends on the area. CAll the police

The police do not tow cars, a towing company does.

It is whatever they decide to charge, plus storage on a per day basis.

Too dang much.

What state? What city?
