Perhaps you had a spontaneous meetup with a bunch of friends for some drinks, and had to leave your car overnight. Or maybe you were in a hurry to run an errand and parked in a no parking zone, only later to find your car missing. Either way, this situation happens to hundreds of drivers, every single week! Most unfortunately, it is usually at the fault of their own.
Parking Mistakes
Rules can vary depending on the owners of the parking lot, but some say you can only park for a maximum number of hours before your vehicle is marked, delinquent. If you have your car towed from a parking spot or a parking lot, there are two common reasons why this happened. But first, it is important to know that many commercial properties have property management contracts with local towing companies to watch their premises and tow away unauthorized vehicles. So when you park at any public commercial lot, keep in mind that it is patrolled 24 hours a day by a towing company under contract with the owners of the building. Unless a parking lot blatantly advertises free, overnight parking anytime, it is usually monitored.
Before committing to a parking spot, check around for signs near the parking spots that outline the “rules for parking” in their lot. On these signs, it will tell you if you are allowed to park there, for how long, and if overnight parking is permitted.
These time limits can be as short as 1 hour parking, to as long as 24 hour parking. In most cases, time limits for bars are between 3 and 6 hours. This brings us to the two common reasons why vehicles are towed at bars. Drivers either get distracted and forget to walk outside and move their car before time is up, or they simply leave it there overnight when 24 hour parking is not permitted.
If your vehicle is towed, simply look for and read the corresponding parking signs. They will have the name of the towing company assigned to that area, as well as their contact information. Give them a call and they will tell you exactly how to get your car back. Remember, it’s not their fault your car was towed, so be nice! They are friendly and glad to help.
