How to (Try) To Get Impound Fees Waived by Yourself

Prepare Yourself: Stay Calm and Collected

Grab your ticket or citation, and get your emotional armor on. Both towing company employees and government impound officers will treat you like trash, even if you're the victim of a crime. They will talk down to you. They will put you on hold. They will make rude statements, act all judgemental, and be total stinkers for lack of a better term.

It doesn't matter if your $90,000 Ford Raptor was stolen out of your driveway (they'll judge you for having an expensive vehicle), or if your $400 Ford Escort was towed for unpaid parking tickets (they'll judge you for that, too.) So be prepared.

Call the Impound Lot/Towing Company Right Away

• Major municipalities might lease lots for impounded vehicles, or they may own the property.
• Smaller organizations have contracts with towing / impound companies in the area.
• The phone number and address will be available on your citation.

Try to Sweet-Talk the Staff

This is where things get frustrating. You're trying to get information from someone paid to deny you. Their job is to keep as many fees as possible. You probably won't get anywhere but you must make the call and document the time, badge number, and name of the employee. No judge will waive impound fees unless you've tried to handle it yourself first.

Take It to Court

If you cannot waive impound fees, you can try small claims court. Remember, tow companies and impound lots are private businesses with law enforcement contracts. There is a very slim chance the judge will rule in your favor, but it could happen. You'll have much better results with DoNotPay

Now let's answer a few common questions about impounding fees.
