Frequently Asked Questions

Towing a boat or trailer when you're pulled over for a DWI in Perquimans County gets expensive fast — tow yards here bill separate daily storage for the vehicle and the trailer, and with tourists hauling boats through the Inner Banks all summer, those compounding dual fees can outrun what the gear is worth within a couple of weeks. Get both units out as soon as you possibly can.

There's no municipal impound lot. Arresting officers dispatch a private wrecker on rotation, commonly Arrow Alignment & Truck Repair in Hertford (252-426-9224) or Hertford Towing (252-888-9578), and the officer's tow slip is usually the fastest way to confirm which one has your vehicle. If you don't have it, call the Sheriff's Office non-emergency line or the NCSHP Troop A communications center directly.

Rural tow offices run thin. A single dispatcher often covers the desk, and showing up between noon and 1 PM frequently means a locked door. Worse, even a yard that's technically open until 5 PM may stop processing releases by 4 or 4:30 — arrive after that cutoff and the car sits overnight, adding another full day's storage. Call at least an hour before you plan to arrive, confirm someone will be there, and get the exact amount owed down to the cent.

Only the registered owner can retrieve the vehicle, full stop, even after the driver who was arrested gets out of jail. An owner who's out of state or otherwise unavailable needs to send a notarized release letter naming a third party, along with a copy of their own government ID.

One scenario removes the tow yard from the equation entirely: if the arrested driver's license was already revoked for a prior impaired driving offense, North Carolina law puts the vehicle into statutory seizure, with potential forfeiture to the local school board. No private tow yard can release a vehicle under seizure without a signed court order from a judge or the Clerk of Superior Court.
