Why impound & storage fees costs what it does in South St. Paul

Bloomington, Richfield, Eagan and every other south-metro suburb runs its own impound with its own fee, so a Minneapolis figure a neighbour quotes doesn't apply here. Minnesota Statutes 168B.035 requires the charge to be reasonable for the vehicle and the circumstances, and 168B.06 requires notice within five business days. A vehicle towed from MSP or a mall lot is usually a private-property tow, a different regime again. Call the city or lot that ordered the tow for its fee and daily storage rate.

South St. Paul runs its own impound and sets its own fee, and it is not the City of St. Paul lot despite the name. Concord Street commercial-lot tows are usually private-property tows. 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.

Local context

How we work South St. Paul

South St. Paul is a historic Dakota County river city, the old stockyard town, along Concord Street (MN-156) and the Mississippi. The industrial river flats keep commercial-vehicle work in the mix, and the older residential grid brings lockouts, dead batteries and residential tows. Operators cover the Concord Street corridor and the river district.

South St. Paul pricing FAQs

Common South St. Paul cost questions

How much does it cost to get my car out of impound in South St. Paul?

South St. Paul 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 South St. Paul?

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 South St. Paul?

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 South St. Paul?

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.
