Frequently Asked Questions
Bibb County runs a wrecker rotation, so a DUI tow goes to whichever company is next on the list, not one the driver picks. Dispatch expects a response within about 30 minutes, and there are roughly a dozen private lots scattered across the county, so the car could end up almost anywhere. The tow slip or property receipt handed over at release names the company. If that's lost, the Bibb County Sheriff's Office Records Division at 478-310-4119 or the Traffic Division can look up where the vehicle went.
The first thing to check is whether there's a hold. A routine DUI usually has none, and the owner deals directly with the tow yard. But if the DUI involved a serious crash, a fatality, or the vehicle is evidence in a felony, a hold is placed, and it has to be lifted first at the Sheriff's Support Operations Bureau at 111 Third Street, Suite 1A. That takes a valid driver's license, proof of ownership by title or registration, and proof of active insurance.
At the lot, fees are capped by Georgia's Maximum Rate Tariff No. 5. A standard tow runs around $175, storage is $25 to $40 a day, and the first 24 hours of storage is chargeable. Bring cash. State rules require lots to take cards, but many claim the machine is down, and paying in cash avoids the standoff.
