How much does it cost to get a car out of impound in Powhatan?

Powhatan's locality does not have a confirmed towing and storage rate ordinance of its own in our research, so the only confirmed figure here 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.

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.

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.

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.
