What Are Towing Rules and Why Do They Matter?

Vamos falar sobre leis de guincho. When a tow truck operator takes your carro ou camião, you want to know why. Maybe it was a parking violation. Maybe you needed assistência viária. Sometimes, it is because of an acidente or if your car sat too long and became an abandoned vehicle. These things happen on propriedade privada ou public property. For drivers, knowing these rules helps you keep your car safe. For towing companies, towing regulations mean you must follow the law, treat people fairly, and avoid illegal towing.

Em GRUPO CLW, we know the rules because we build trucks that help you keep safe, stay legal, and work well for everyone.

Key Ideas in Towing

Different Types of Towing

  • Retirada Consensual happens when you ask for help, like with a vehicle malfunction.
  • Tracionamento não consentido happens when you did not ask—maybe you parked in a handicapped spot ou faixa de incêndio.
  • Impoundment means your car goes to an local de retenção. You must pay to get it back.

Who Has the Power?

  • If a police department ou sheriff’s office says tow, you must listen.
  • On propriedade privada, like a área de estacionamento, sometimes the property owner ou empresa de reboque can tow if you break the posted rules.

Your Rights as a Driver

Are you a vehicle owner? Here's what you need to know:

Why Cars Get Towed

  • Parking in the wrong place: No parking zone, expired meter, handicapped zone, ou faixa de incêndio
  • Veículo abandonado
  • Accident
  • Registro expirado ou revoked license (some places)
  • Bloquear um recanto
  • Unpaid tickets

What To Do If Your Car Gets Towed

  • Look for signs. Did you park somewhere with required signage?
  • Call the local police department or check at the local de retenção.
  • Get the right documents: your cartão de condução e registo do veículo.
  • Ask about towing fees breakdown. There is a taxa de ligação, possibly mileage, and always a taxa de armazenamento.

    Your Rights

    • Right to notice: Look for signs. Signage requirements are clear.
    • Right to your things: You can get your personal items. You do not have to pay first (in many places).
    • Right to dispute: You can file a complaint or go to small claims court.
    • Right to see your vehicle: Check for any vehicle damage from towing.

    How To Dispute a Tow or Fees

    • First, call the empresa de reboque.
    • If you are not happy, talk to the city council, agência de proteção do consumidor, ou Attorney General.
    • You can file a case in small claims court.

    • Mantenha o seu local de retenção seguros.
    • Let people get their things at fair times.
    • Para abandoned vehicles, follow local rules for an auction ou lien.

    Stop Bad Towing

    • Don’t cruise parking lots looking for cars to tow right away.
    • Avoid predatory towing by having clear signs and fair fees.

    Towing Rules Are Not the Same Everywhere

    Remember, every place is different. State legislature e city council can set their own laws. Before you park or tow, check the rules where you are.
