How much does it cost to get a car out of impound in Sandston?
A plain-English guide to impound and storage costs in Sandston: 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 Sandston
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.
Sandston sits in Henrico County, home to Richmond International Airport, where no county-specific towing fee ordinance was confirmed in our research; Virginia's statewide maximum under Va. Code § 46.2-1233.1 applies to any tow here: $210 hookup, up to $30 after-hours, no storage charge in the first 24 hours. For a rental-lot or terminal-adjacent tow, Henrico Police's non-emergency line, (804) 501-5000, is the confirmed contact. Ask the yard for an itemized bill.
How we work Sandston
Sandston exists because of Richmond International Airport, the busiest airport in central Virginia and third-busiest statewide, handling roughly 4.9 million passengers a year across about 10,500 parking spaces. That single facility drives the towing economy here on its own: long-term and economy-lot overflow enforcement, rental-car return-lot violations, and terminal curbside drop-off tows all run steady year-round, and I-64 spur breakdowns feed straight into terminal-bound traffic during peak travel periods. The airport-adjacent ground is low and flat, so it floods fast in a hard rain, and regional fog is a recurring visibility factor here just like it is on I-95 further south near the Tri-Cities. Sandston's Hispanic population share has been rising, up to just over 6 percent by 2020 from under 5 percent a decade earlier, a real and growing trend worth a bilingual-dispatch mention. We reach the airport terminals, Airport Dr, and the I-64 spur in about 20 to 30 minutes, and flatbed is our default for rental-fleet and long-term-lot vehicles, with wheel-lift for the ordinary residential call.

Common Sandston cost questions
How much does it cost to get my car out of impound in Sandston?
Henrico County does not have a confirmed private-property towing fee ordinance of its own in our research, so the only confirmed figure for Sandston 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 Sandston?
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 Sandston?
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.
