How much does it cost to get a car out of impound in Lake Nona?
A plain-English guide to impound and storage costs in Lake Nona: 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 Lake Nona
Impound costs inside Orange County follow Chapter 35 of the county ordinance, in effect since April 2023. A trespass tow, the kind that clears a private lot or an apartment complex, caps at $135 for a standard passenger vehicle, with the first 24 hours of storage free and $32 a day after that, billed in 24-hour blocks rather than calendar days. You can inspect the car and grab personal property at the yard any time, without paying first. If the car sits unclaimed, Florida law allows a lien sale after 35 to 57 days depending on the vehicle's age.
Lake Nona sits in Orange County, so a tow here, whether from a Medical City parking area or an SR-417/SR-528 shoulder, falls under the same Orange County ordinance that caps storage-yard rates and requires release within 30 minutes of payment. Orlando Police Department or the Orange County Sheriff's Office handles the notification, depending on jurisdiction. You can inspect the vehicle and pull personal items from it at the yard before paying anything. If the tow-away sign's number goes unanswered, call the Sheriff's non-emergency line at (407) 836-4357.
How we work Lake Nona
Lake Nona calls center on Medical City, the 650-acre health district anchoring Narcoossee Road, home to the Orlando VA Medical Center, Nemours Children's Hospital, and UCF's Health Sciences Campus. Hospital shift workers, patients, and visitors keep our jump-start and lockout volume steady around the clock, not just during commute hours. We also cover the SR-417 GreeneWay and SR-528 Beachline interchanges, where toll-road commuters break down at highway speed, and the newer subdivisions spreading east of Boggy Creek Rd, where the drive from the main roads runs longer than in the dense urban core. We reach Medical City, the USTA National Campus, and the Narcoossee Rd corridor in about 25 to 35 minutes. Flatbed is common here for the newer EV and family-SUV fleet the area's young, affluent households run.

Common Lake Nona cost questions
How much does it cost to get my car out of impound in Lake Nona?
Florida doesn't run a government impound lot, your car sits at the private tow company's own storage yard instead. In Orange County, a standard passenger vehicle's trespass tow caps at $135 plus $32 a day storage after the first free 24 hours, set by county ordinance, not by us. Ask the yard for an itemized bill before you pay.
What do I need to get my impounded car back in Lake Nona?
Bring a valid driver license, current vehicle registration, and proof of insurance. Florida law lets you inspect the vehicle and retrieve personal property at the yard before paying, no waiver required. If a police agency ordered the tow, get their release document first, the yard can't hand the car over without it.
What happens if I don't pick up my car in Lake Nona?
Florida Statute 713.78 allows the storage yard to sell an unclaimed vehicle at a lien sale, 35 days after storage begins if it's more than 3 model years old, 57 days if it's 3 years old or newer. You'll get certified mail notice first. Picking the car up before that window closes is always cheaper than losing it.
