Towing
If your vehicle has been towed, please call (757) 385-3111 to find out where your vehicle has been taken.
Parking citations do not result in your vehicle being towed.
On-street or public property towing is directed by the Virginia Beach Police Department for public safety purposes. The following incidents can result in a vehicle being towed:
- Parking in a City-operated parking lot past the posted closure times
- On-street parking as a result of an RPP violation (Residential Parking Permit)
- Parking in front of a fire hydrant
- Blocking access to a private driveway
The cost of a tow is $200 plus a $25 per day storage fee after the first 24 hours.
