How much does it cost to get a car out of impound in East End?
A plain-English guide to impound and storage costs in East End: release fees, daily storage, the paperwork you need, and how to get your car back for less.
Why impound & storage fees costs what it does in East End
Henrico County has no confirmed private-property towing fee ordinance of its own in our research, so Virginia's statewide maximum under Va. Code § 46.2-1233.1 is the only confirmed ceiling here too: $210 hookup, up to $30 after-hours, and no storage charge for the first 24 hours. Henrico's separate Tag N Tow Program handles abandoned vehicles left on public rights-of-way near the airport corridor, a different process from a private-lot trespass tow.
East End sits within the City of Richmond despite its distance from downtown, so a tow here follows the same citywide process as the rest of the city: Seibert's Towing has held Richmond's exclusive contract since 1992, and apps.richmondgov.com/applications/towviewing or the non-emergency line, (804) 646-5100, confirms a city tow. Richmond's 2025 ordinance reportedly moved the local hookup cap toward $195, still under Virginia's statewide $210 maximum.

Common East End cost questions
How much does it cost to get my car out of impound in East End?
Henrico County does not have a confirmed private-property towing fee ordinance of its own in our research, so the only confirmed figure for East End is Virginia's statewide maximum under Va. Code § 46.2-1233.1: $210 for the hookup, up to $30 after-hours, and no storage charge for the first 24 hours. Ask the yard for an itemized bill before you pay.
What do I need to get my impounded car back in East End?
Bring a valid driver's license, current vehicle registration, and proof of insurance. Virginia law (Va. Code § 46.2-1217) says a towing business cannot refuse payment by cash, an insurance-company check, a certified check, money order, or credit card, and it must post its full fee list where you can see it before you pay. If a law enforcement agency ordered the tow, ask what release documentation they require. Ask for an itemized bill regardless.
What happens if I don't pick up my car in East End?
Virginia's garage-keeper lien law (Va. Code § 46.2-644.01) requires the tow company to notify the DMV within 7 business days of taking your car to check for existing liens. Once DMV notifies you or your lienholder, you get 10 business days from that notice to reclaim the vehicle before the company can enforce its lien or relinquish it. Storage fees keep accruing the entire time, so picking the car up early is always cheaper than letting it sit.
