Towed from a private lot (apartment, store)? Tows from private property are handled as state impounds. The wrecker company faxes a state tow request form to the police Information Desk, which logs it in police records, so the police can tell you which company took the car. Rates are capped by the Oklahoma Corporation Commission.
Oklahoma City has no single city impound lot. Cars impounded by Oklahoma City Police are towed by the district wrecker company and kept at that company's storage lot, and the state DPS vehicle finder shows which wrecker service has your car.
Oklahoma City impound lots: addresses and hours

Local rules and how to contest
- Oklahoma City Police use the district wrecker for impounds, so your car will be at that wrecker company's lot, not a city lot.
- The Information Desk at police headquarters keeps the impound records and updates them when the wrecker company reports a release.
- Cars held for a felony, a drug case or as evidence will not be released without approval from the investigating unit.
- When an investigator lifts a hold, the Information Desk faxes the release to the wrecker company. A police captain decides whether impound fees are waived.
- To pick up the car, bring one proof of ownership, one photo ID and one proof of insurance or an affidavit of non-use. With an affidavit of non-use the car cannot be driven away.
- Digital proof of insurance is accepted, and it does not have to be in the owner's name.
- Someone else can pick up the car with a notarized letter from the owner listing the year, make, model and VIN, plus the same proofs.
- The Oklahoma Corporation Commission sets the maximum rates wrecker services may charge for nonconsent tows and storage. Rate complaints go to the OCC.
Oklahoma rules that apply
Oklahoma sets statewide maximum rates for every nonconsensual tow, including police tows and tows from private property. Under the Corporation Commission order effective June 1, 2024, a car tow is billed either by hookup plus mileage or by the hour, and outdoor storage for a car is capped at $23.94 a day. The drop fee for a private-property tow is capped at $99.75.
- Drop fee release: If you want your drivable car back before it leaves the private lot, the tow company must hand it over. It may charge a drop fee of up to $99.75 for cars under 10,000 lb.
- Your belongings: With proper documentation the company must release personal property from the car without first being paid for the tow and storage. No fee is allowed during normal business hours.
- Hearing: The Corporation Commission takes, mediates and decides complaints about rates charged for a nonconsensual tow.
