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)

The cost of a tow is $200, plus a daily storage fee ranging from $60 to $100 per 24 hours of storage based on gross vehicle weight.
