Good afternoon, dear reader.
The number of tow trucks involved in moving illegally parked vehicles to impound lots is constantly increasing.
So there is a high probability that you will not find a car on site that was parked in violation of traffic regulations.
This article will talk about where the driver should contact if the car was taken away by a tow truck:
- in any region of Russia;
- in Moscow.
First of all, I would like to remind you that not every violation of stopping or parking rules can result in your car being towed. This issue is discussed in detail in the article:
Towing for illegal parking
Why can a car be towed?
If your car was picked up by a tow truck, most likely you drove onto a curb or did not notice a sign that informs you about parking rules in a specific zone. All violations of parking rules are described in Article 12.19 of the Administrative Code:
- • parking on the roadway;
- • parking on the sidewalk. If the path is separated from the roadway by a curb or other covering, it is a sidewalk. Even if you drive onto the curb with one wheel, the inspector will consider this a violation. For more details, see the analysis of fines for parking on the sidewalk;
- • parking at the pedestrian crossing. Parking within five meters is prohibited;
- • parking on site for disabled people;
- • parking at a public transport stop. Parking within 15 meters of this zone is prohibited. The exception is boarding and disembarking passengers;
- • second row parking;
- • parking in the tunnel;
- • parking or stopping on tram tracks.
Why are they being evacuated? | Fine in Moscow and St. Petersburg, r. | In other regions, r. |
On Pavement | 3000 | 1000 |
At a public transport stop | 3000 | 1000 |
Parking at the pedestrian crossing | 3000 | 1000 |
Second row | 3000 | 1000 |
In the tunnel | 3000 | 2000 |
If the car bothers others | 2000 | 2000 |
On site for disabled people | 5000 | 5000 |
On the tram tracks | 1500 | 1500 |
Impound parking and tow truck services will become more expensive in St. Petersburg
In past years, it was impossible to pick up a car from the traffic police impound lot without paying full prepayment, but at the moment the car owner will be able to pay for the evacuation and storage of the vehicle using a receipt, which will be given to him at the special parking lot at the time of transfer of the vehicle.
No. | Vehicle type | Tariff, rubles per day. | Including 25% discount, rub. |
1. | Category A | 500 | 375 |
2. | Categories B and D with a permissible maximum weight not exceeding 3.5 tons. | 1 000 | 750 |
3. | Category D with a permissible maximum weight exceeding 3.5 tons, categories C and E, as well as oversized vehicles | 2 070 | 1 552,50 |
Vehicle owners pay the indicated amounts only for a full day - this point is stipulated in Law No. 27 of July 13.
2021 “On amendments to the Moscow City Law of July 11, 2012 No. 42 “On the procedure for moving vehicles to a specialized parking lot, storing them, paying the costs of moving and storing, returning vehicles in the city of Moscow.”
So, if the vehicle was detained in Moscow for less than a day, then the owner will not have to pay for the impound lot. If we talk about other regions of Russia, the amounts and conditions for vehicle stay at the sites may differ from the prices given above.
To return your car from the traffic police impound lot, you need to collect and prepare the following package of documents:
- Identification document (passport).
- A document confirming the ownership of the vehicle (PTS or STS).
- Valid MTPL insurance policy.
- A copy of the vehicle detention protocol (or a copy of the administrative violation protocol with an official’s mark).
- Receipt for payment of the cost of moving (evacuating) the detained vehicle to the impound lot, if payment has been made.
- Receipt for payment of the cost of storing the detained vehicle at the impound lot, if payment has been made.
In general, the algorithm for returning a vehicle to a special parking lot for the car owner looks like this:
- Contact the traffic police or MADI department that detained your car, presenting documents for the vehicle (if the documents for the car were left in the car, pick them up at the impound lot, for which an act of opening and sealing the vehicle will be drawn up).
- Obtain permission from the traffic police or MADI to issue your vehicle.
- Come with a package of documents to the impound lot of the State Public Institution "AMPP" and receive a receipt for payment of the cost of moving and storing the vehicle.
- Pay for the movement and storage of the vehicle before receiving the car with a 25% discount, or receive the car and pay the full cost of its movement and storage within 60 days.
Please note that the cost of storing your impounded vehicle in the impound lot is paid for every full day that has passed since the vehicle was placed in the impound lot.
The first day of storing a vehicle in the impound lot is free! Therefore, if you quickly fill out the documents and pay the fine and evacuation, then you will not have to pay for the impound lot.
The procedure for a traffic police officer to take when towing a car depends on the circumstances. Let's look at the example of sending a car to an impound lot if the driver is suspected of driving while intoxicated:
- A traffic police inspector stops a vehicle and suspects that the driver is drunk. At least two witnesses are present during the procedure.
- The driver is asked to undergo a medical examination. If he refuses, this is recorded in the protocol. You will still have to pay a fine, and you will also be deprived of your rights: refusal to undergo a medical examination is not a basis for exemption from administrative liability and is equivalent to an admission of guilt.
- If the driver undergoes an examination and a sufficient amount of ppm is found in the blood, a tow truck arrives by order of the inspector, and the car is sent to the impound lot. Subsequently, the owner or other authorized person will be able to pick it up even after the driver’s license is revoked.
A driver’s license can only be deprived through a court: it is the judge who makes the appropriate decision. Documents about the violation are transferred to the judicial authority after an administrative investigation, and the citizen receives a message about the date of the meeting after the information from the traffic police is accepted for proceedings.
Having discovered that a car is missing due to improper parking, you first need to find out exactly where it was towed. The procedure is simplified if the city is small and has only one impound lot. In large cities like Moscow and St. Petersburg there are several parking lots, so first you will have to get a phone number and address from the traffic police by calling the phone number.
The total amount to be paid consists of several parts: the cost of the evacuation itself using specialized equipment, and the stay in the impound lot for each hour. Additionally, the driver pays a fine, the amount of which depends on the type of offense.
It is important to take into account that the prices for parking a vehicle are regulated by regional authorities and may differ in different cities. They are also affected by the category of the vehicle: you will have to pay more for trucks.
Let's consider the minimum cost of storage per day using Moscow as an example:
- Freight over 3.5 tons - from 3,000 rubles;
- Cargo up to 3.5 tons: from 1,000 rubles;
- Passenger cars – from 1,000 rubles;
- Motorcycles, mopeds, scooters: from 500 rub.
Some impound lots do not charge for the first 24 hours. For example, if at a tariff of 2,000 rubles/day the car will stay there for 7 days, only 6 of them are paid, i.e. 12,000 rub.
Your car has already been loaded: what to do?
If the tow truck hasn't left yet, try to return the car. Explain to the inspector that you will be moving the car. In this case, the car will remain with you and you will only receive an administrative fine for violating parking rules.
Anatoly Zhulanov, dispatcher of the Perm Traffic Directorate, worked on a tow truck for three years:
The Code of Administrative Offenses clearly describes when the car can still be returned and removed from the tow truck platform, and when it is too late. In paragraph 1.1 of Art. 27.13 of the Code of Administrative Offenses says that the car can be removed before the tow truck starts moving. After the car has moved and taken to the impound lot, the vehicle can only be returned through the traffic police. More on this below.
During the work, anything happened. For example, a car owner was chasing a tow truck, climbed onto a platform at an intersection and got into his car. I had to call the police - in addition to the parking fine, this citizen received an additional administrative fine. Employees of the traffic directorate do not have the right to resist using force - that’s why they call the police.
If the tow truck managed to leave, check if you have your documents. You will need a license, STS and insurance. Documents are needed to confirm your driving license.
If the documents are in the car. You will have to go to the impound lot - there you will write an application for opening the car and access to the salon. The impound lot workers will issue an opening certificate, and you will be able to pick up the documents. After this, you can go to the traffic police to issue a refund.
If the documents are on hand .
First, find out the name of the inspector who worked with your car - call 112 or the traffic police duty station. Next, go to the traffic police department and issue a decision on return from the inspector who processed the evacuation of your car. After this, the inspector will issue a resolution and an administrative fine. Take the decree with you to the impound lot - the car will not be returned without it. Employees will issue a receipt for the operation of the tow truck and storage of the car in the parking lot. There is no need to pay this invoice right away.
Procedure for registering a vehicle for evacuation
The main condition required for making a decision to load a vehicle onto a tow truck in Shushary is the absence of the owner. If, before the car is parked, the owner approaches and is able to eliminate the violation, the malfunction, the evacuation of the car will stop, and the driver will only have to pay a fine in accordance with the completed protocol. The decision on the need to place a car in a penalty area can be made exclusively by an inspector from the State Traffic Inspectorate, after he has drawn up an administrative protocol.
How to get an electronic vehicle passport (EPTS) in Shushary
Transportation is carried out by a contractor in Shushary, who takes the car for safekeeping for the duration of delivery. If the tow truck starts moving, you should not try to stop it, as this may lead to:
- a fine of 1 thousand rubles;
- administrative arrest for a period of 15 days.
How much will you have to pay
The cost of evacuation depends on the power of the car:
Auto power | Cost of evacuation |
up to 80 hp | 3000 rubles |
80-250 hp | 5000 rubles |
from 250 hp | 7000 rubles |
This is the average for Russia. Moscow residents can receive a 25% discount when paying on the day of car evacuation.
How to get a car from an impound lot
When permission is received, you should do the following: 1. come to the impound lot and present the following documents to the employees: • Certificate of permission to issue the car; • Passport; • Driver's license; • Vehicle registration certificate; • If necessary, a power of attorney for the car and for its receipt. 2. pay a fine - the cost of storing and transporting the car, attach receipts to the package of documents; 3. get a car.
You must attach 2 paid receipts, since transportation (i.e. evacuation) and storage of the car are paid separately. The fine for illegal parking can be paid within 60 days.

What else needs to be done at the impound lot
After you have shown the inspector's order and registration certificate to the impound lot employees and received a receipt from them, inspect the car. The machine must not show any signs of damage from loading and unloading.
If everything is in order, sign the acceptance certificate and pick up the car. If damage remains, do not sign any documents and ask for compensation. In case of refusal, compensation for damage will only be possible through court. Practice shows that the court usually sides with the victim.
How to pick up a car from a parking lot
First you need to find out where your vehicle was transported. To do this, call the single emergency number in Shushary. If the operator could not give the exact location of the car, you need to report it as stolen.
To pick up a vehicle you must have the following documents with you:
- driver license;
- compulsory insurance policy;
- STS.
With these documents, you need to contact the department of the State Traffic Inspectorate in Shushary, which drew up the protocol on the administrative offense, where you can get a copy of it. Based on this document, the impound area employees will issue an invoice for services related to the delivery and storage of the car. After payment, you can receive the car at a time convenient for the driver.
How to replace a vehicle passport and obtain a duplicate in Shushary
Remember
- • To prevent your car from being towed, inspect the future parking area. Perhaps there is a curb that the road workers rolled into asphalt and connected the sidewalk to the roadway
- • Look for signs that prohibit or restrict parking in the area.
- • The fine for a tow truck is 5,000 rubles plus 1,000 rubles for each day in the impound lot.
- • In addition, the inspector will issue a fine for violation of parking rules.

How much does a parking lot cost per day in 2021 - Moscow, St. Petersburg
How much will it cost car owners to have their car towed to an impound lot in 2021? Who has to pay and how long can a car be parked in a specialized parking lot?
Any motorist who parks in the wrong place runs the risk of not finding his car when he returns. She will be evacuated to the impound lot, from where she will have to be picked up independently, having previously visited the traffic police duty station to obtain permission.
The cost of such a procedure is high and must be paid in full by the car owner. Let's consider under what circumstances the inspector has the right to pick up the car and how much it will cost to return it.
Time spent in the impound lot is expensive. How long the car will stay there depends only on its owner. Typically, it takes several hours to obtain permission to take your property.
Such a document is issued by the duty station, working around the clock. Refusal by employees to issue a permit motivated by non-working hours is illegal.
Changes in legislation have made life significantly easier for motorists, allowing them to pick up a car without first paying a fine or placing it in a parking lot.
But the received invoice for services must be paid within 2 months. If you have time to fill out the documents and pick up the car at the first knock after its evacuation, you will not have to pay for storage. But a fine and tow truck services will still require expenses.
Penalty parking is a specialized parking area administered by the traffic police. It has a fence and is guarded.
Cars whose drivers have been suspended from driving for various reasons or have been evacuated from a place where they were illegally parked are placed in such a parking lot.
There is a fee for staying in a special parking lot; an exception is made only for vehicles of various special services.
Contact Information
If you find that your car is missing from the parking lot, you must contact the traffic police department at 02 (or 112). This service operates 24 hours a day, so you can contact it at any time.
The police officer will tell you which impound lot the car was towed to, for what offense such a measure was applied, and how much it will cost to keep the car in police custody.
Normative base
The application of such a measure of administrative liability as placing a car in a impound lot is regulated by Art. 27.13 Code of Administrative Offences.
It lists all the reasons for calling a tow truck. The list is exhaustive and cannot be expanded by traffic police inspectors without permission.
Starting from 2021, you can pick up your vehicle from a special parking lot without pre-payment of a fine, tow truck services or storage.
A standard two-month period is allotted for debt repayment. If the amount is very large, the driver may be given an installment plan. The issue is decided individually.
What you need to know
Placing a car in an impound lot is possible only if several important conditions are met:
- the car is parked in violation of traffic rules, that is, in a place on the roadway or other part of the road that is not intended for this purpose;
- there is no driver in the car or near it and it is impossible to call him to order;
- an incorrectly parked car interferes with the movement of other vehicles or pedestrians;
- It is not possible to eliminate the obstacle that has arisen in any other way.
It is prohibited to evacuate a car with a driver or passenger in it. If the responsible driver returns while his vehicle is being loaded, the evacuation will be aborted.
The inspector will not take the car to the impound lot if the driver returns before the tow truck arrives. But you still have to pay a fine for illegal parking.
Reasons for towing a car
Traffic police officers have the right to call a tow truck only in strictly defined cases. Their list is not too long and it is in the interests of car owners to know it completely.
Violations that result in placing a car in an impound lot include:
- parking in a prohibited area of the roadway;
- the driver does not have documents giving him the right to drive;
- intoxication of any nature in the driver, confirmed by examination;
- vehicle malfunction that cannot be repaired on site;
- refusal of the driver involved in the accident to undergo a medical examination for the presence of alcohol in the blood;
- parking a car on a pedestrian crossing, sidewalk, lawn;
- parking at ground transport stops, tram tracks, and car tunnels;
- in case of violation of the rules for the transportation of dangerous goods (ADR).
A somewhat controversial point is the evacuation of a faulty car. In this case, even if the tow truck was called by a traffic police officer, the car owner may demand that his vehicle be delivered to a car service center. But this service will still have to be paid according to the current prices in the region.
Who sets the prices
At the federal level, only general rules are established regarding the grounds for placing a car in an impound lot, providing a free period of stay in it, and deferring the payment of a fine.
The issue of tariffs for tow truck and parking services is resolved at the regional level. The cost is calculated based on the weight of the car and the time required to evacuate it.
How much does a parking lot cost per day in the Russian Federation in 2021?
Everywhere, the first day of a car being in an impound lot is free. Time begins to count from the moment of entry in a special logbook for incoming cars.
Then it starts charging for storage services. At the same time, the amount in the first two days after the free day is still quite gentle, and then it can increase by 1.5-2 times.
Moscow
The capital traditionally has the highest prices for cars staying in impound lots.
The cost of tow truck services depends on the make of the car, the minimum price is 3,000 rubles. For the evacuation of the truck you will have to pay 27,000 rubles.
Continued stay in the impound lot will cost the owners for each day:
Motorcycles and mopeds | 500 rub. |
Passenger cars | In 1000 rub. |
Small trucks (up to 3.5 tons) | At 1500 rub. |
Trucks | In 2000 r |
Oversized transport | At 2900 rub. |
Saint Petersburg
The minimum fine for illegal parking in the Northern capital, as in Moscow, will be 3,000 rubles.
Calling a tow truck is also cheaper:
For passenger cars | 2700 rub. |
For truck | 16,000 rub. |
For storage in a penalty parking lot, the fee is charged not daily, but hourly - from 19 rubles per hour for a passenger car to 64 rubles per hour for a large truck. The first day is free for all vehicles.
Other cities
The minimum that residents of most Russian regions will have to pay is 3,000 rubles.
It consists of a fine for violating parking rules of 1,500 rubles. and the cost of a tow truck is another 1,500 rubles.
For owners of foreign cars, the cost of transportation will be approximately 2000 rubles. If you pick up your car from the parking lot on the first day, you won’t have to pay to keep it there.
What determines the cost of downtime?
The cost of having a car parked in an impound lot consists of several components:
Fine for violating traffic rules that caused evacuation | Its value is determined in accordance with the article of the Code of Administrative Offenses, under which the driver was held accountable |
Price of tow truck services | Its size can reach 1.5-2 thousand rubles. up to 5-7 thousand rubles. Towing an imported car will cost more than a domestic one, since they use different models of special equipment |
Cost of storage services | It depends on the current tariff in the region |
Additional costs | Downtime of the tow truck, use of additional technical devices, etc. |
In any case, it is in the owner’s interests to pay the full amount as quickly as possible and pick up the car from the special parking lot. Otherwise, the cost of storing it will become prohibitive.
: prices for impound lots will be determined by regional authorities
How long can a car be parked in a parking lot?
During the first 24 hours from the moment of evacuation, the car can be picked up from the impound lot for free. Each subsequent day the car spends there costs the owner a substantial amount.
Therefore, it is in his interest to get his property back as quickly as possible. There is no time limit for keeping a car within a specialized parking lot.
However, over time, the cost of storage services can equal or even exceed the cost of the car.
If the car has been in the impound lot for more than 5 years and no one has claimed ownership of it or the owner refuses to pay, the traffic police may initiate recognition of such property as ownerless.
A decision on this can only be made by a court on the basis of a claim to which documents are attached confirming the owner’s renunciation of his rights to the car or the impossibility of identifying or finding the owner.
A court decision to recognize a car as ownerless is preceded by many formal actions, including obtaining a court order to open the car, searching for the owner by bailiffs, etc.
Without their completion, declaring the car ownerless will be illegal. If it is issued, then the bailiffs will sell such a car at a public auction. But this happens quite rarely.
Who should pay
The question of who should pay for the time spent by the car in the impound lot arises in cases where the driver is not the owner.
The driver can be a hired employee or a relative using the car by proxy. It turns out that the car owner himself did not commit a traffic violation, but still received a fine receipt.
The legislation provides for such situations. The owner of the car is not required to pay a fine if he provides the necessary data when considering the violation report.
The violator, that is, the person who was driving the vehicle at the time of the illegal actions, will pay. The fine will be transferred to him.
If, during the consideration of materials about the offense, a decision is made to terminate the case due to the lack of evidence, then the driver will not have to pay for his car. It will be returned to him free of charge. Storage costs will be paid from the budget.
Services for towing a car to a parking lot are very expensive today. This must be remembered by all drivers who regret parking their car outside the designated parking spaces.
Saving on parking fees will result in large expenses for getting your car back from the impound lot.

Cost of impound parking in St. Petersburg 2021
Fine for towing a car in 2021 in St. Petersburg Probably every driver saw a picture when a tow truck took the car to a impound lot. After that, another vehicle parks in a free space and the circle repeats. In order not to get caught in this circle, you need to remember the rules of parking and stopping.
But if the car was nevertheless taken away by a tow truck, then you need to familiarize yourself with the methods of repaying the fine and the penalty rates. Administrative legislation (CAO) establishes the following reasons for impound parking:
- Violation of parking or parking rules.
- The motorist officially refused to undergo a medical examination if he was suspected of being intoxicated.

- Driving a car with a faulty brake system.
- The rules for transporting large objects were violated.
- The driver was driving the car while under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
- The vehicle is parked at a distance of less than 5 meters from the pedestrian zebra crossing.
The above list of reasons is exhaustive, which means that other reasons for towing a car will be illegal.
It is important to note that absence is not punishable by towing of the vehicle.
The rules for car evacuation have not changed in 2021. Penalty rates for car evacuation in St. Petersburg will not change throughout 2021, as they were established using FAS methods.
A driver driving a category A or B vehicle is required to pay 2,800 rubles for evacuation. Evacuation for drivers of other categories will cost a little more, it will cost 15,000 rubles.
You can get your car back at any time. Thus, in order to calculate the final amount for evacuation, it is necessary to add the following amounts:
- the cost of work performed by a tow truck;
- the amount accrued for using a parking space.
- fine for neglect, which led to the evacuation of the car;
For example, if the driver of a passenger car parks it in a space for disabled people in St. Petersburg, then an amount of 5,833 rubles will be payable.
(3000+2800+33). Provided that the vehicle is picked up from the parking lot within an hour.

Upon arrival, he will have to pay a fairly large amount for storing the car, since a lot of time may pass. Therefore, when entrusting your car to a stranger during your departure, you need to take into account all these nuances.
The impound lot service fee counter stops after the vehicle has been parked there for 6 months.
But this does not mean that the car owner will have fewer problems. Simply paying for car parking will not help in this case. The owner will be able to return the car only on the basis of a court decision.
Sometimes traffic police or impound lot officers require the driver to pay the fine in full.
Before issuing the car. Such a requirement is contrary to the law. Info He is obliged to record the defects present on the vehicle before evacuation, and rewrite the list of things in the cabin. If new defects appear on the car, or personal belongings are missing from the interior, the car owner must invite a witness and record all this in the presence of impound lot employees.
Then the car owner can turn to an independent expert to assess the damage and demand compensation from the management of the impound lot by filing a claim, and in case of refusal, through the court.
Also, with the participation of witnesses, the absence of seals on the doors and trunk of the car is recorded. The procedure for paying a fine for a tow truck and impound lot services does not differ from regular payments.
Thus, the cost of evacuation to a parking lot in St. Petersburg in 2020 will be more expensive than in other cities.
If your car was towed, it means you violated traffic rules. In order to return it, the impound fee must be paid. So, how much does it cost to pick up a car from an impound lot?
What payments are provided? What documents do you need to obtain from the traffic police? Let's figure it out. A traffic police officer has the right to detain a vehicle and deliver it to the impound lot for storage using a tow truck.
It doesn't take much time to evacuate a car.
However, there is a certain procedure provided for by law.
Attention First, the traffic police inspector detects a car that was located where it is forbidden to park.
After that, he calls a tow truck and delivers it to the storage area. In this case, a protocol must be drawn up. Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation).
- Violation of the rules for stopping or parking vehicles on the roadway, resulting in the creation of obstacles to the movement of other vehicles, as well as stopping or parking a vehicle in a tunnel (Part 4 of Article 12.19 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation).
If a car is towed due to a violation of parking rules and the driver arrives before the tow car starts moving with the vehicle placed on it, then evacuation is not carried out.
In cases where the evacuation occurs with the participation of the driver, before the evacuation, the traffic police inspector makes a decision to remove him from driving the vehicle.
In such a situation, you need to call the police and sort it out.
To summarize, we note that violating the rules and towing the car will entail 3 different payments:
Towing a car to a parking lot - rules, fines, telephone numbers If the car is parked at a pedestrian crossing and closer than 5 meters in front of it. If the car is left by the driver at public transport stops, as well as on tram tracks and in a tunnel.
