My Car Got Towed: How Do I Find It?
Gardenstate Towing provides an expert clearway towing service to all local councils and state transport departments around Melbourne as well as the rest of Australia.
Once the vehicle is on the tow truck, it is regarded as being legally impounded and this means that a fee set by the local council or state Department of Transport will apply to have it released.
If your vehicle has been towed from a clearway to allow for efficient traffic flow during peak times, you will need to find out where your car is being impounded so that you can safely retrieve it.
Generally, you can do an online search to see where your vehicle is being held.
How To Collect Your Impounded Vehicle
When your vehicle is impounded due to a clearway infringement, you’ll need to conduct an impound search to find out where your car is currently situated.
If you know that your vehicle has been towed by our company and is impounded at our facility, you need to book a time to collect it. Our impound depot is open from Monday to Friday between the hours of 8 a.m. and 4 p.m.
Make sure that you bring a photo ID such as your driver’s license or passport, payment for the release fee and your car keys. Also, ensure that you book a time for collection so that we know that you’re coming.
Release Fees
As a general guide, in Victoria, many local councils have a release fee of just under $400. However, some of the outer councils such as Stonnington, Port Phillip and Yarra charge a higher fee of just under $500. The City of Melbourne’s release fee is also just under $500.
You need to ensure that you have this fee with you when you collect your vehicle, otherwise, we cannot release it.
