How Much Are Impound Fees in Nevada?
Getting a car out of impound in Nevada usually means an initial tow of $150-$350 plus daily storage of $20-$60/day. Retrieve it fast - fees add up every day.
Rate ceilings are operator-filed: each tow car company files a tariff (see NTA "Model Tow Tariff" filings, e.g. flat-rate and hourly-minimum templates) for Nevada Transportation Authority approval under NAC 706.408. There is no single statewide passenger-car dollar cap for towing, daily storage, admin, or release/gate fees; the confirmed absence of a fixed statewide figure is the finding. To quote a real dollar amount, pull the specific operator's current approved tariff from the NTA tariff library.
