§ 49-1810. CHARGES NOT OTHERWISE PROVIDED FOR
Every tow company in the process of towing, removing, or impounding a vehicle as directed by an authorized officer, except vehicles towed as part of an investigation or that are suspected stolen, shall upon request of the owner or his authorized agent release the vehicle at the scene. If the vehicle is attached to the tow truck, or otherwise in tow, the regular, scheduled tow fee may be charged. When the vehicle is not yet in tow at the time of request, the release must be made, and no charge may be assessed except a customary and reasonable charge for mileage one way from the towing company’s place of storage to the scene plus the usual fee for the tow truck operator. If the authorized fee is not tendered by the owner or his agent, the towing operator may complete the impoundment, towing, or removal, as authorized.
