A plain-English guide to impound and storage costs in College Park: 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 College Park
At Hartsfield-Jackson the impound storage fee is $2.50 a day after the first day, and a shoulder or ramp stop near the airport can draw a fine from $50 to over $350 plus the tow. A private-property tow in south Fulton or Clayton runs under Georgia DPS Tariff No. 5, capped at $228 for a vehicle at or under 10,000 pounds with the first 24 hours of storage free.
Around Hartsfield-Jackson, an airport tow carries airport impound storage of $2.50 per day after the first day, and if you are waiting on an arrival, the free Park & Wait cell-phone lot is at 1920 Autoport Dr rather than a live curb. Off the airport, most of College Park is in Fulton County, so a county impound releases from the Fulton County Marshal admin office at 185 Central Ave SW downtown, (404) 612-5100, not the tow yard. A private-property tow off Old National or Camp Creek follows O.C.G.A. 44-1-13 signage rules, with the Georgia DPS Tariff No. 5 capping the tow at $228 and storage at $33 a day.
How we work College Park
College Park sits right against the world's busiest airport, and most of the city falls in south Fulton County. Camp Creek Parkway, Old National Highway, Main Street and the Riverdale Road corridor carry the local traffic, while I-85 south and the I-285 south arc frame the city. Landmarks include the Georgia International Convention Center, the Gateway Center Arena and Woodward Academy. The towing reality here is two-sided. Around Hartsfield-Jackson, drivers stop on shoulders and access ramps they shouldn't, which draws fines and tows, and airport impound storage runs $2.50 per day after the first day. If you're waiting on an arrival, the free Park & Wait cell-phone lot is at 1920 Autoport Dr rather than a live curb. Away from the airport, this is a dense apartment market off Old National and Camp Creek, where private-property tows fall under Georgia's O.C.G.A. 44-1-13: a sign has to sit within 50 feet of the lot entrance, at least 12 by 18 inches, and there's no storage fee for the first 24 hours. Fulton County impounds are released from the Fulton County Marshal office at 185 Central Ave SW downtown, not from the yard. The operator we send covers the airport perimeter, Camp Creek and Old National, running wheel-lift for the everyday call and flatbed for lowered or all-wheel-drive vehicles.

Common College Park cost questions
How much does it cost to get my car out of impound in College Park?
At Hartsfield-Jackson the impound storage fee is $2.50 a day after the first day, and an illegal stop near the airport can add a fine from $50 to over $350 on top of the tow. A private-property tow elsewhere in south Fulton or Clayton runs under Georgia DPS Tariff No. 5, capped at $228 for a vehicle at or under 10,000 pounds with the first 24 hours of storage free.
What do I need to get my impounded car back in College Park?
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 College Park?
Airport storage is $2.50 a day after the first day, and a private-lot tow accrues up to $33 a day after a free first 24 hours under Georgia DPS Tariff No. 5. O.C.G.A. Section 40-11-1 treats a vehicle left 30 days as abandoned. Either way the meter runs, so claiming the car early costs less.
Can Quick Tow Atlanta get my car out of impound in College Park?
No, and it's worth being straight about that. We connect drivers with private tow and roadside operators; we aren't the pound, the county or the police department holding your car, so we can't waive anyone's fees or release it faster. What we can do is help you work out who has it and what the process is, and line up an operator to move it once it's released. Call (678) 379-5984.
