Frequently Asked Questions
If your insurance isn't active, the tow yard can't legally release your car to be driven. Georgia requires the company to verify current coverage before the vehicle goes back on the road, so a lapsed policy stops the release even after you've paid the bill. Sort the insurance out before you go.
Evans County has no county impound lot. Law enforcement uses a wrecker rotation list, so your car goes to whichever approved company was next up. Two operators in the rotation are CLT Towing & Transport at 9899 Highway 280 in Claxton (912-739-7800) and D & K Garage and Wrecker at 1195 Mittie Strickland Road (912-739-8685). You can request a specific approved company at the scene if it can arrive within about 20 to 30 minutes.
Whether there's a hold
In a straightforward DUI, the car is released to the owner and you can go straight to the tow yard. But if the DUI involved a serious accident, a fatality, or a search warrant for the vehicle, it goes on a police hold. Then you have to go to the arresting agency, the Sheriff's Office or Claxton Police, with proof of ownership and ID to get a Vehicle Release Form before the yard will hand it over.
At the lot
Bring proof of ownership, a government ID, and proof of current insurance. If your license was seized in the arrest, you can't drive the car off the lot, so bring a licensed driver. Then pay the full tow and storage bill.
The fees
Non-consensual tows are capped by Georgia's Maximum Rate Tariff No. 5: about $175 for the base tow and roughly $25 to $35 a day for storage, plus an after-hours fee for a release outside business hours. The company has to accept cash, a money order, or a certified check; it may take a card but can charge extra for it.
