Got towed in Jersey City?
Call the number on the tow-away sign where you parked, or the police non-emergency line, to find out which lot has your car. Bring photo ID, proof you own the car, and a way to pay, and ask for an itemized receipt.
New Jersey's Predatory Towing Prevention Act limits private-property tows: fees above your town's ordinance schedule are presumed unreasonable, a car that's hooked up but not yet towed is released for a decoupling fee only, and a tow company can't refuse a card it normally accepts.
