A plain-English guide to impound and storage costs in Andover: release fees, daily storage, the paperwork you need, and how to get your car back for less.
Why impound & storage fees costs what it does in Andover
Blaine, Coon Rapids, Anoka and the other Anoka County cities each run their own impound and set their own fee, and none of them uses the Minneapolis or St. Paul schedule. Minnesota Statutes 168B governs the whole process statewide: 168B.035 requires the charge to be reasonable, 168B.06 requires notice within five business days, and 168B.04 sets the waiting periods. Call the city that ordered the tow for its fee and daily storage rate.
Andover runs its own impound and sets its own fee. Rural-road recoveries and residential tows both run through the city's own process, so call the department that ordered it. A suburban impound isn't the Minneapolis or St. Paul lot and doesn't use their published rates, so a figure a neighbour quotes from a city tow won't match. Minnesota Statutes 168B governs it statewide: 168B.035 requires the charge to be reasonable for the type of vehicle removed and the circumstances of its removal, 168B.06 requires notice within five business days, and 168B.04 sets the waiting periods before a tow. Minnesota has no statewide tow-operator license. Call the department that ordered the tow and ask for its fee and daily storage rate.

Common Andover cost questions
How much does it cost to get my car out of impound in Andover?
Andover runs its own impound, which isn't the Minneapolis or St. Paul lot and doesn't use their published rates, so a figure a neighbour quotes from a city tow won't match. Call the department that ordered the tow and ask for its fee and the daily storage rate. Minnesota Statutes 168B.035 requires a towing charge to be reasonable for the type of vehicle removed and the circumstances of its removal, and 168B.06 requires notice within five business days.
What do I need to get my impounded car back in Andover?
A suburban impound sets its own list, so ask the department that ordered the tow what it needs. In general you should expect to show valid photo identification, proof that you own the vehicle such as the title or current registration, and payment of the fees in full. If someone is claiming it for you, bring written, signed authorization from the owner. Confirm the exact list with the city before you drive over.
What happens if I don't pick up my car in Andover?
Minnesota law gives you real dates to work with. The impounding party has to send notice within five business days under 168B.06, and outside Minneapolis and St. Paul a junk or abandoned vehicle may be sold 45 days after notice under 168B.051. Storage accrues while all of that runs, so the earlier you call the department, the less it costs. If the vehicle turns out to have been stolen, that changes what you owe, so say so when you call.
Can Quick Tow Minneapolis get my car out of impound in Andover?
No, and it's worth being straight about that. We connect drivers with private tow and roadside operators; we aren't the impound lot, the city or the police department holding your car, so we can't waive anyone's fees or release it faster. What we can do is help you work out who has it and what the process is, and line up an operator to move it once it's released. Call (952) 900-4065.
