How much does it cost to get a car out of impound in Midlothian?
A plain-English guide to impound and storage costs in Midlothian: 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 Midlothian
Chesterfield County does not run a single centralized impound lot the way Richmond does; instead, police-directed tows go to whichever company sits on the county's approved-operator rotation. No confirmed Chesterfield-specific fee ordinance turned up in our research, so Virginia's statewide maximum under Va. Code § 46.2-1233.1 governs: $210 hookup, up to $30 after-hours, no storage charge inside the first 24 hours. Chesterfield Police's non-emergency line is (804) 748-1251.

How we work Midlothian
Midlothian sits at the western gateway of the whole Midlothian Turnpike corridor, the same road that becomes the Southside corridor once it crosses into the city, so it shares that corridor's heavy commuter volume even though it feels like a different world out here. SR-288 and the Powhite Parkway both run through Midlothian, and Bon Secours St. Francis Medical Center generates its own steady stream of visitor and staff parking-violation tows on top of the ordinary commuter traffic. The Watermill retail corridor pulls its own daily shopping traffic, and Mid-Lothian Mines Park marks the site of the first commercially mined coal in the country, a genuine 1709 landmark most drivers here pass without knowing it's there. Winter is the real hazard season on SR-288 specifically. The rolling Piedmont terrain means the overpasses ice up fast in a winter storm, faster than the flatter ground closer to the city. We reach St. Francis Medical Center, the Watermill corridor, and the SR-288/Powhite Parkway interchange in about 20 to 30 minutes, running wheel-lift for most calls and flatbed for the hospital-adjacent and highway-speed work.

Common Midlothian cost questions
How much does it cost to get my car out of impound in Midlothian?
Chesterfield County routes police-directed tows through an approved-operator rotation rather than one central lot, and no confirmed county-specific fee ordinance turned up in our research. The only confirmed figure for Midlothian is Virginia's statewide maximum under Va. Code § 46.2-1233.1: $210 for the hookup, up to $30 after-hours, no storage charge inside 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 Midlothian?
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 Midlothian?
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.
Can Quick Tow Richmond get my car out of impound in Midlothian?
We're a private tow and roadside company, not the storage yard holding your car, so we can't waive the yard's fees or release it faster. What we can do is help you understand the process and tow your car wherever it needs to go once the yard releases it. Call (804) 701-6752.
