Car towed? Do these 3 things.
Find your car, know the cost before you go, and get it back - then push back on any overcharge. Start with step 1.
Get a tow price - 10-second request
Get a callback with tow pricing
Leave your number and ZIP and a vetted local operator can call you right back with a price.
By submitting, I agree that towingcosts.com and one or more of its towing and roadside-assistance partners may call or text me (including by automated technology) at the number provided about this request. Consent isn't a condition of any purchase; message/data rates may apply.
Find your car
Takes about 5 minutes
Two quick ways to locate a towed vehicle:
- Call the local police non-emergency line or 311. Ask which company towed your car and where it is stored - police log most non-consensual tows.
- Check the signs where you parked. Private-lot signs must list the tow operator and a phone number - call it directly.
Know the cost before you go
Estimate the release and daily storage fees for your state so you bring the right amount - and can spot a charge that runs over the legal limit.
Get it back, then push back
Bring these to the lot so the release goes smoothly:
- Government-issued photo ID (driver license or state ID)
- Vehicle title or registration proving ownership
- Proof of current auto insurance
- Payment - many lots take cash only, so confirm accepted methods first
