About California
In California, cities and counties license towing. San Diego, for example, requires tow drivers to hold a police permit.1 California sets no single statewide figure for private property tows. A tow or storage charge counts as excessive when it's above the greater of the local police agency towing rate for that city or county or the rate the operator has approved by the California Highway Patrol.2
Towing rules in California
- Storage limits
California applies the same test to storage charges as to towing charges. If the vehicle is released within 24 hours, only one day's storage may be charged.2
- Private-lot tows
In California, signs at least 17 by 22 inches at every entrance must name the police agency and the towing company, or meet another ground the law lists. The property owner must authorize the tow in writing and call local police within one hour of authorizing it. If the vehicle's owner returns before it leaves the property, it must be released, and the drop charge is at most half the regular tow charge.2
