How much does it cost to get a car out of impound in Buford?
A plain-English guide to impound and storage costs in Buford: release fees, daily storage, the paperwork you need, and how to get your car back for less.
Why impound & storage fees costs what it does in Buford
Gwinnett private-property tows run under Georgia DPS Tariff No. 5, the same statewide cap: $228 for a vehicle at or under 10,000 pounds, $33 a day after a free first 24 hours, and $91 in total notification charges. O.C.G.A. Section 44-1-13 gives the driver the signage and no-patrol protections.
How we work Buford
Buford anchors the far north end of Gwinnett, straddling the Gwinnett and Hall county line along I-85. The Mall of Georgia, one of the largest retail centers in the state, sits at the Mall of Georgia Boulevard interchange, and GA-20 ties the city to Sugar Hill and Lake Lanier. That retail gravity is the towing story: acres of shared parking generate private-property tows, and I-85 generates breakdown and crash recovery right alongside them. Georgia's private-property law, O.C.G.A. 44-1-13, governs the lot tows, requiring signage within 50 feet of each entrance, barring a lot from being watched automatically for tows, and giving a driver 24 hours before any storage fee. DPS Tariff No. 5 caps a standard tow at $228 and daily storage at $33. Because Buford sits on a county line, it helps to know which side a vehicle was parked on before chasing it down. The operator we send covers I-85, the Mall of Georgia district and the GA-20 corridor, wheel-lift for most calls and flatbed where it's needed.

Common Buford cost questions
How much does it cost to get my car out of impound in Buford?
A non-consensual tow off private property in Buford runs under Georgia DPS Maximum Rate Tariff No. 5. For a vehicle at or under 10,000 pounds the tow is capped at $228, storage at $33 a day with no charge for the first 24 hours, and total notification charges at $91. Ask the department or lot that ordered the tow which fees apply to you.
What do I need to get my impounded car back in Buford?
Bring valid photo identification and proof that you own the vehicle, usually the title or a current registration, plus a lien release or a notarized authorization if you're claiming it for someone else. A private lot operating under Georgia DPS Tariff No. 5 must post its retrieval address, its cost of recovery and its accepted payment methods on its required sign. Every lot sets its own exact list, so call the one holding your car and ask before you drive over.
What happens if I don't pick up my car in Buford?
Georgia DPS Tariff No. 5 charges no storage for the first 24 hours, then up to $33 a day, so the earlier you claim the car the less you owe. O.C.G.A. Section 40-11-1 treats a vehicle left 30 days as abandoned. Call the lot or department that ordered the tow to confirm the total before you go.
Can Quick Tow Atlanta get my car out of impound in Buford?
No, and it's worth being straight about that.
