When storage makes sense
- After an accident, while your insurance company decides whether to repair or total the vehicle (see accident towing)
- When the body shop or mechanic is full, or closed for the night or the weekend
- After a breakdown far from home, until you line up a repair or a long-distance tow
- Between a sale and a pickup, when you've bought or sold a vehicle and the timing doesn't line up
- When you can't keep it at home: no driveway space, or an HOA or apartment lot that won't allow a car that doesn't run
How tow-and-store works
- Call dispatchTell us where the vehicle is, what it is, and roughly how long you need it held.
- Get your free quoteDispatch quotes the tow and the storage rate before anything is sent.
- We tow it to the yardYour vehicle is towed to the yard and held there. Dispatch gives you the address.
- Tow it out or pick it upWhen you're ready, we tow it to your shop or home, or you set a time to pick it up.
Storage or the city impound lot?
Storage with us is something you arrange. If the police had your car towed, it's most likely at the Omaha impound lot, which charges its own daily fees. Read car towed in Omaha? to find it. Once it's released, we can tow it home or to a shop for you.
Keep storage costs down
- Call your insurance company right away, so the adjuster can inspect the vehicle sooner
- Pick your body shop early, so the vehicle can move as soon as they have room
- Ask dispatch how storage is charged, so you know what a few extra days will cost
- Take valuables and papers with you when the vehicle is towed, so you don't need a trip back to get them
