What Is a Predatory Tow?
Predatory towing generally refers to towing situations that raise questions regarding:
- Authorization
- Property owner approval
- Signage requirements
- Notice requirements
- Vehicle release procedures
- Storage practices
- Towing documentation
These situations can create significant operational and financial challenges for businesses managing commercial vehicles and large fleets.
Who We Help
Fleet Operators
An impounded fleet vehicle is more than a towing problem.
It is an operational problem.
We help fleet managers identify vehicle locations, coordinate recovery efforts, and reduce downtime.
Rental Car Companies
Rental vehicles generate revenue only when they are available for rent.
We help rental operators recover vehicles and minimize losses associated with unauthorized or disputed towing incidents.
Insurance Companies
Insurance carriers and claims professionals often encounter vehicles held at impound facilities following accidents, investigations, theft recoveries, or disputed towing situations.
We help support vehicle recovery efforts and improve claim visibility.
Financial Institutions
Lenders and asset recovery teams frequently require assistance locating and recovering vehicles that have been impounded or improperly towed.
