Frequently Asked Questions
Cash. Not a debit card, not a credit card, not Apple Pay — cash, and nothing else. Prince's Wrecker Service, the dominant impound operator for OVI tows in Coshocton County, enforces a strict cash-only release policy with zero exceptions. Get released from jail at midnight on a Saturday with nothing but a debit card, and you're stuck until you can find several hundred dollars in physical currency — a genuine problem in rural Appalachia where 24-hour banking is scarce and standard ATMs cap daily withdrawals well below what a release can cost.
The one upside: Prince's runs a true 24/7 operation, so you won't hit the midday "lunch break" administrative gaps that plague smaller lots in neighboring counties. The facility is open and staffed around the clock — you just need the right form of payment when you get there.
Ohio's statutory caps say $129 for the base tow and $17 a day for storage on a standard passenger vehicle. In practice, county expense records show this facility routinely bills $300 or more once winching, after-hours processing, or cleanup fees get added on top of the base rate. Budget for considerably more than the statutory minimum.
If the vehicle sits unclaimed, Prince's sends a formal Ten Day Notice by certified mail to the registered owner. Left unresolved, the owner faces mounting fees and eventual loss of the vehicle — though the facility does offer a specific way out: sign the title directly over to the wrecker service and the accumulated storage and towing fees get waived entirely. If your car's market value is already close to or below what you owe in fees, this can be the more rational move than fighting to keep it.
Documentation has to be flawless. Valid government ID, the original title or registration, and insurance paperwork that specifically covers the impounded vehicle — digital screenshots and incomplete photocopies get rejected outright. If the person who was driving isn't the registered owner, the actual owner has to show up in person; there's no proxy workaround at this facility.
