How can I get a car towed?
Help! I'm a small business owner from Southern California and a beat-down van is blocking my parking lot. How can I get this vehicle towed?

“There are multiple scenarios where you can get another vehicle towed.
An abandoned or poorly parked vehicle can be a serious inconvenience to individuals or businesses, and it often needs to be dealt with quickly.
If a car is illegally parked on a residential property (like blocking the driveway or parked in your driveway), a tow can be called immediately.
At a commercial property, a tow can also be called immediately if posted signs are ignored. If there is a car parked at a commercial property without signs, you must wait 24 hours before calling a tow.
In the above scenarios, you can call any local towing company or the police.
If you need to get a tow for your own car, you might be covered by the
towing and labor coverage
on your current insurance policy.If you don’t have coverage but would like to add it to your policy, try using the free
Jerry
app. Jerry offers industry-leading roadside assistance through Urgently, which offers tows, lockout services, and flat tire assistance for only $50 a year.”View full answer
