What it will cost to get it out of impound
The formula
total = tow + (days × daily storage) + release fee
Worked example
A $150 tow, 3 days at $45 ($135) and a $25 release fee is $310.
Assumptions
Storage almost always accrues per calendar day, not per 24 hours. Use your lot's published figures — schedules change annually.
Reference table
| Days | Total |
|---|---|
| 1 | $220 |
| 3 | $310 |
| 7 | $490 |
| 14 | $805 |
| 30 | $1525 |
