How much does it cost to get a car out of impound in Marietta?
A plain-English guide to impound and storage costs in Marietta: 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 Marietta
A non-consensual tow off private property in Cobb runs under Georgia DPS Tariff No. 5: a $228 cap for a vehicle at or under 10,000 pounds, $33 a day storage, no charge for the first 24 hours, and notification charges capped at $91. O.C.G.A. Section 44-1-13 requires signage within 50 feet of each entrance and bans automatic patrol of the lot.
Marietta is in Cobb County, which runs its own impound and sets its own fee, so call the department that ordered the tow to find the vehicle and confirm the charge. A tow from an apartment or retail lot is instead a private-property tow under O.C.G.A. 44-1-13: a posted sign within 50 feet of each entrance, at least 12 by 18 inches, and no active patrol of the lot, with the Georgia DPS Tariff No. 5 capping the tow at $228 and daily storage at $33 and charging no storage for the first 24 hours.

How we work Marietta
Marietta is the Cobb County seat, wrapped around the historic Marietta Square about sixteen miles northwest of downtown Atlanta. Interstate 75 runs the eastern flank as the Tennessee-bound truck corridor, and US-41, the Cobb Parkway, parallels it through the commercial spine, so the daily mix is heavy commuter volume against long-haul freight. That combination is what fills the call log: rear-end chains near the I-75 exits, blowouts and cooling-system failures on the Parkway in summer, and the occasional heavy-duty recovery when a tractor unit goes down on the interstate. Around the Square and the older neighborhoods it shifts to lockouts, dead batteries and apartment-lot tows. Marietta has a notable Hispanic community, with local schools around 38 percent Hispanic, so every page on this site, the quote form included, is published in Spanish as well as English, and a message left in Spanish is read in Spanish. Georgia's non-consensual towing rules apply to any private-property tow here: under O.C.G.A. 44-1-13 the lot needs signage within 50 feet of each entrance, at least 12 by 18 inches, and the state DPS Tariff No. 5 caps the tow and charges no storage for the first 24 hours. The operator we send covers I-75, the Cobb Parkway and the Square, running wheel-lift for most calls and flatbed for newer vehicles or anything with sensitive electronics.

Common Marietta cost questions
How much does it cost to get my car out of impound in Marietta?
A non-consensual tow off private property in Marietta 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 Marietta?
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 Marietta?
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 Marietta?
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.
