Towing, impound, and storage

Use this page to separate towing, impound, and storage from other DUI-related expenses and verify each amount with the lawyer, court, agency, insurer, or provider that actually charges it.

Documents or quotes to collect

  • Tow sheet
  • Impound lot rate notice
  • Daily storage rate
  • Release requirements
  • Vehicle retrieval receipt

Questions before paying

  • Who is authorized to release the vehicle?
  • When do daily storage charges stop?
  • Is there a hearing or review for the tow/impound?

Do not rely on a national average

DUI-related costs vary by jurisdiction, case stage, provider, and services actually used. A written local quote or official fee schedule is more useful than a national “average DUI cost.”
