A towing invoice is a billing statement provided to the owner of a towed vehicle that is placed into the care and custody of the towing company at the company’s tow lot. So that the vehicle may be released, payment for the services must be provided only by the owner. If the vehicle was towed due to an excess of law enforcement violations, the owner would usually have to prove to the towing company that the fees for the violations have been paid and/or appropriately satisfied.
Claiming Your Vehicle – Depending on the laws in the respective State, the towing company is entitled to ownership of your vehicle if it has not been retrieved by the owner within a specified time period (as low as 20 days).
Towing Company Receipt – Make sure to obtain a receipt and hold it until the vehicle is back in the owner’s possession.
