Frequently Asked Questions
If you can get to the impound lot within 24 hours of the arrest, you owe nothing but the base tow, capped at $175. Storage in Glynn County can't be charged for the first 24 hours, and after that it's capped at $15 a day. A lot also can't legally bill you for any day it was closed and you couldn't have picked the car up, so weekend and holiday storage charges are often improper. Ask for an itemized receipt every time and check it against those rules.
There's no county impound lot. Glynn County police, Brunswick police, and the State Patrol call the next private wrecker on a rotation, and by county rule an officer can't call one you request. To find your car, work out which agency arrested you, then ask that agency's records division or county dispatch which wrecker took it. The Glynn County Police non-emergency line is 912-554-7800.
Getting it back
You need a state ID, proof you own the car, and current insurance. If the car isn't registered to the person arrested, the registered owner has to come get it. If that owner is out of state or can't come, whoever picks it up needs an original notarized authorization letter naming them, a copy of the owner's ID, and the insurance paperwork. Without all of it, the lot won't release the car and the daily fee keeps running.
Payment is cash, money order, certified check, or a card. Operators can't tack on an extra fee for using a card. An after-hours pickup adds a gate fee capped at $65.
Move fast
The best play is to have family or your bondsman call county dispatch the moment they hear about the arrest, get the tow company's name, and gather the title, registration, insurance, and exact cash while you're still being booked. Then pick the car up as soon as you're released, before the 24-hour storage clock starts.
A tow hearing exists in magistrate court, but for a DUI the tow is almost always a lawful police tow, so these rarely go anywhere.
