Towing Issues: Private property impounds of illegally parked cars, towing companies, rear wheel drive


Question
...such as apartments. What is the maximum rate a tow company can charge an owner of the car for impound in Huntsvill AL?

Answer
There is no "set fee" that towing companies are required to charge for storage. The average amount currently is around $20-$30 unless it is inside or covered storage. There are however, certain restrictions that some municipalities place on towing companies that are licensed or on rotation for the city. As for the towing fees, that also may be regulated by the municipality. It may also depend on the type of vehicle (size, front or rear wheel drive etc), location it was parked, and what was required to remove the vehicle. The average currently is around $75 plus mileage.
