Why impound & storage fees costs what it does in Somerton

What do I need to get my impounded car back in Somerton?
Start at findmytowedcar.org or 888-591-3636 so you know which PPA lot has the car before you drive over. Bring valid photo identification and proof that you own the vehicle, and be ready to pay the published PPA fees. If someone is claiming it for you, ask the lot what authorization it wants. Confirm the exact list with the lot that has the car, because requirements can change. This brand cannot release a PPA hold.
What happens if I don't pick up my car in Somerton?
Storage at a PPA lot accrues at $25 per 24 hours plus 22.5% tax on a passenger vehicle under 11,000 lbs, so calling early costs less than calling late. If the car is still booted, the PPA's clock is 72 hours before a tow. Once it has been towed, start at findmytowedcar.org or 888-591-3636, then go to the lot that has it. This brand is not the Parking Authority and cannot hold a lot open or waive a fee.
Can Quick Tow Philadelphia get my car out of impound in Somerton?
No, and it's worth being straight about that. We connect drivers with private tow and roadside operators; we aren't the pound, the township or the Parking Authority holding your car, so we can't waive anyone's fees or release it faster. What we can do is help you work out who has it and what the process is, and line up an operator to move it once it's released. Call (610) 557-1544.
