Can a tow truck company charge fee if you dont pick up your car?

In most jurisdictions, tow truck companies are allowed to charge a fee if you don't pick up your car within a certain amount of time. The amount of time varies from state to state, but it is typically around 30 days. If you do not pick up your car within the allotted time, the tow truck company may sell your car to recoup their costs.

In addition to the storage fee, you may also be responsible for towing and administrative fees. The total amount of fees you owe can vary depending on the tow truck company and the state in which you live.

If you are unable to pay the fees to retrieve your car, you may be able to get help from a legal aid organization or a car title loan company. You may also be able to negotiate with the tow truck company to reduce the amount of fees you owe.

It is important to note that if you do not pick up your car within the allotted time, the tow truck company may have the right to sell your car. If this happens, you will not be able to get your car back and you will not be entitled to any compensation.

Therefore, it is important to make sure that you pick up your car from the tow truck company as soon as possible to avoid any additional fees or the risk of having your car sold.
