How far can a tow company your car in VA?

Virginia law limits how far a towing company can tow your vehicle. The maximum towing distance is 10 miles within the city or county where the vehicle was towed from. If the vehicle is towed from outside the city or county, the maximum towing distance is 20 miles.

There are a few exceptions to these limits. For example, a towing company may tow your vehicle farther than 10 or 20 miles if you have authorized them to do so in writing. Additionally, a towing company may tow your vehicle to a location that is closer to your home or business if it is not possible to tow it to the nearest tow lot.

If you are concerned about how far a towing company will tow your vehicle, you should ask them before they begin towing. You can also contact the Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) for more information about towing regulations.

Here are some additional details about towing regulations in Virginia:

* A towing company must obtain your consent before towing your vehicle.

* A towing company must provide you with a receipt for the towing services.

* A towing company must release your vehicle to you once you have paid the towing and storage fees.

* If you believe that a towing company has violated any of these regulations, you can file a complaint with the Virginia DMV.
