What drives the price

Why impound & storage fees costs what it does in Old Fourth Ward & Grant Park

Inside the city the number is published and it is not ours. Atlanta Code Section 162-227 caps the city towing fee at $125 and charges no storage for the first 24-hour period, all-inclusive, with cash, check, debit or a major card accepted at no surcharge. A tow from a private lot instead runs under Georgia DPS Maximum Rate Tariff No. 5, which is a separate schedule, so ask who ordered the tow first.

Local context

How we work Old Fourth Ward & Grant Park

The Old Fourth Ward and Grant Park are historic neighborhoods just east of downtown and the Downtown Connector. The Old Fourth Ward holds the Martin Luther King Jr. birth home and historic district, Ponce City Market, and a busy stretch of the Atlanta BeltLine's Eastside Trail. Grant Park, to the south, is built around the city's namesake park and Zoo Atlanta, with blocks of Victorian and Craftsman homes. Both are dense, close-in and heavy with pedestrians, which shapes the tow work. The story here is private-property and residential, not interstate: apartment and condo lots, restaurant and retail parking around Ponce City Market and the BeltLine, and narrow historic streets where a blocked driveway becomes a call. Those private tows are governed by O.C.G.A. 44-1-13, which requires conspicuous signage within 50 feet of a lot entrance, a same-day owner request for each vehicle, and no storage fee for the first day, while the Georgia DPS Tariff No. 5 caps the tow at $228 and storage at $33 a day. Event traffic and film-production street closures, both common in this part of town, add posted restrictions on top of ordinary enforcement. The operator we send covers the Connector's east frontage, the BeltLine corridor and the Grant Park and O4W residential grid, running wheel-lift for the tight-street call and flatbed for newer vehicles.

Old Fourth Ward & Grant Park pricing FAQs

Common Old Fourth Ward & Grant Park cost questions

How much does it cost to get my car out of impound in Old Fourth Ward & Grant Park?

If the City of Atlanta towed it, the fee is capped. Atlanta Code Section 162-227 sets a maximum towing fee of $125 and charges no storage for the first 24-hour period, and the fee is all-inclusive with cash, check, debit or a major card accepted at no surcharge. If a private lot towed it instead, that runs under Georgia DPS Maximum Rate Tariff No. 5, not the city cap, so ask who ordered the tow first.

What do I need to get my impounded car back in Old Fourth Ward & Grant 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 Old Fourth Ward & Grant Park?

The city cap holds storage off for the first 24 hours, so the earlier you claim the car the less you owe. Under O.C.G.A. Section 40-11-1 a vehicle left long enough is treated as abandoned at 30 days, and the fees keep running the whole time. Call the number on the notice or the department that ordered the tow to confirm what is owed before you go.

Can Quick Tow Atlanta get my car out of impound in Old Fourth Ward & Grant 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.
