How we work Palmetto
Palmetto is a small city at the southwest edge of Fulton County, running into Coweta, along US-29 and close to I-85 south. It's the last real stop before the metro thins into exurban and rural ground, so the towing picture leans toward highway breakdowns and longer recovery hauls rather than the dense apartment work you get closer to the airport. When a private-property tow does happen, Georgia's O.C.G.A. 44-1-13 still applies, with the sign posted within 50 feet of the lot entrance and no storage fee for the first 24 hours, and the DPS Tariff No. 5 caps hold the tow fee to $228. The Fulton portion of the city releases impounds from the Fulton County Marshal office at 185 Central Ave SW. The operator we send covers US-29 and the I-85 corridor, with flatbed for longer hauls and wheel-lift for the local call.

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.

What happens if I don't pick up my car in Palmetto?
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.
