But, you are not sure if your car got towed to a private lot or a city impound lot. The question that pops into your mind will be \u2018Where was my automobile towed?\u201d There are some ways by which you can find it out!\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span data-contrast=\"none\">Check for signage<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"none\">It is the best way by which you know whether the car got towed. Check for any signage at the parking spot showing that parking is banned and unauthorized parking will lead to towing. The signage will probably have a phone number that you can contact to find your car.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span data-contrast=\"none\">Call the police<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">If there\u2019s no signage board, call the police immediately. Don\u2019t dial 911, as it is only for emergencies. Find the number of the nearest police department number online, from the information directory, or by dialing 411. <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">You can also contact 311 to reach the city\u2019s information hotline and ask about the whereabouts of your car.

Many cities have vehicle locator websites in which you find whether your car got towed by using the VIN or license plate number.\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Check with local businesses\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">There are some private towing zones.

But, you can relax as it won\u2019t adversely affect your auto insurance rates, provided it happens just once. You can\u2019t file a claim as you can\u2019t ask your insurer to pay the towing fees. Mainly, your auto insurance company won\u2019t be covering it. <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:259}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">But, be careful that your insurer will know if you\u2019re a regular visitor to the local impound lot. So, expect your insurer to surge the insurance rates if towing happens for not paying the penalties at the DMV.
