Fremont Towing Prices Become More Regulated

For years, victims of predatory towing have issued complaints at many different levels in the government. State by state, we are starting to see changes regarding towing regulations.  For legitimate towing companies, they have had to endure a tarnished industry-wide reputation. However, many of the cities and states are aiming to spare the legitimate companies while punishing those who consider themselves above the law.

As a local and legitimate Fremont towing company, this article will focus mostly on the California state controls on towing pricing and restrictions. However, there are many regulations in other states, such as Texas, Utah, New Jersey, and many more. California Vehicle Code Division 11 Chapter 10 Article 1 specifically deals with the rules of the road and towing, in particular. According to this code, a vehicle can be towed for a variety of reasons, including when it is blocking traffic or is abandoned on public property.

One of the most helpful parts of this vehicle code is that there needs to be clear notification that a certain area prohibits public parking. The sign must measure 17 x 22 inches and clearly state that the parked vehicle may be removed at the owner's expense. Additionally, all signs must now include the local traffic law and a phone number to contact.

Towing prices are regulated, as Fremont towing companies are forbidden to charge more than one day's storage for a vehicle that is picked up within 24 hours of being towed. That way, less honest towing companies are unable to charge more and profit from the tow – at the owner's expense. There are other compliance measures to ensure towing prices do not go uncontrolled and illegitimate towing companies do not succeed in taking advantage of the customer.  According to the California Vehicle Code, tow truck drivers are forbidden to stop near the scene of an accident with the intent of selling their services. If there is an unattended vehicle or an accident that has caused injury, Fremont towing companies are restricted from towing the car on their own. All tow truck drivers need authorization by a local enforcement official.

While these rules and regulations apply to private Fremont towing companies, any tow truck operator this is contracted by a law enforcement agency or public or government agency, is exempted from these restrictions. The hope is that illegitimate towing companies will get the punishment they deserve, while legitimate ones can still succeed in their business.
