Towing and Impounding

We release impounded vehicles to the registered owner/renter when all charges are paid. Note that if you do not provide proof of registration and insurance, you cannot drive your vehicle out of the impound lot – it must be towed.

• Towing Charge: $200 + $50 administration fee
• Impounding Fee: $25 per day

Making payment

You can use the following methods to pay fees on all days except statutory holidays:

• In person at City Hall, 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday to Friday by cash, credit, or debit
• Call Access St. John's at 311 or 754-CITY (2489) between 7 a.m. and 11 p.m. to pay by credit card only

After the fees are paid, registered owners can pick up impounded vehicles from 8 a.m. to midnight, seven days a week at the City Depot, 25 Blackler Avenue. We require proof of ownership. This may include a driver's license or other government identification with the same name and civic address as the vehicle registration. For rental vehicles, the name and address on government identifications must match the name and address of the rental agreement.
