Frequently Asked Questions
Statesboro caps a police tow at $85, lower than the state limit, and storage at $20 a day, with the first 24 hours free by city ordinance. The same ordinance says an authorized impound lot has to be lit and open for you to pick up your car 24 hours a day. In practice, private lots often post regular retail hours and lock the gates at night and on Sundays. If you're arrested Saturday night and released Sunday, you may find the lot closed even though the ordinance says otherwise. Call the towing company's emergency dispatch line and insist on your right to retrieve the car, and know that state law bars any storage charge for a day the lot denied you access.
There's no county impound lot. Statesboro police and the Sheriff's Office call the next wrecker on a rotation through Bulloch County 911, so your car could be at any of several lots, all required to sit within five miles of the city. Two operators that regularly take these calls are Franklin Chevrolet's 24-hour towing and A&P Wrecker Service in Brooklet. Call the records division of the agency that arrested you to find out which one has your car.
Getting it back
You need a valid driver's license, or a passport or state ID if the officer took your license at the arrest, plus proof of insurance and the registration. If the car is registered to someone else, that owner has to be there in person or send a notarized letter authorizing the release.
