How much does it cost to get a car out of impound in MetroWest?
A plain-English guide to impound and storage costs in MetroWest: 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 MetroWest
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.
MetroWest tows fall under Orange County's ordinance either way, whether Orlando Police Department or the Orange County Sheriff's Office has jurisdiction over the address. The county requires the operator to notify the ordering agency within 30 minutes and release the car within 30 minutes of fee payment, and you're allowed to retrieve personal property from the vehicle at the yard without paying first. If the number on a private-lot sign near Kirkman Road doesn't connect, call the Sheriff's non-emergency line at (407) 836-4357.

Common MetroWest cost questions
How much does it cost to get my car out of impound in MetroWest?
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 MetroWest?
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 MetroWest?
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.
