Lot Information Pending
Contact Brantley County local dispatch for specific towing lot assignments.
Non-consensual tows get dispatched to whichever rotational operator is available — Lee Towing & Recovery (912-670-4410), De Pratter Wrecker Service (912-462-5165), Thomas & Son Wrecker Service (912-462-5640), or C & S Towing in Hortense (912-617-1707).
Know the Fee Cap
Since June 2024, Georgia's Maximum Rate Tariff No. 5 caps the base tow fee at $228 for a standard passenger vehicle and makes the first 24 hours of storage free — know that number, because some rural operators still try to tack on unregulated "gate" or "equipment" fees the tariff doesn't allow. Ask for an itemized receipt; if a lot charges more than the cap, that receipt is what you need to file a complaint with the DPS Regulatory Compliance Section on Form TR0031.
Release Cutoffs
Release cutoffs are strict, often 4:30 or 5 p.m. even if the sign says later — arrive by 3:30 with exact payment and complete documentation to avoid getting charged for an extra day over a five-minute paperwork delay.
Ownership and License Requirements
Only the registered owner can authorize release without a notarized letter, and if your license is suspended from the arrest, you'll need one or sometimes two licensed drivers with you just to legally move the car off the lot.
