Two truck companies could soon be allowed to charge you more to tow your car in Prince William County.
Here’s a breakdown the of newly proposed fees:
| Proposed fee | Current fee | |
| $135 | $125 | For vehicles with gross weight of 10,001 pounds |
| $250 | $175 | For vehicles with gross weight between 10,001 and 26,001 pounds |
| $475 | $300 | For vehicles with gross weight of 26,001 or more pounds |
Tow companies would also be allowed to charge drivers an additional $25 if their car is towed between 7 p.m. and 8 a.m. weekdays, on weekends, or holidays, according to the proposal.
Tow companies are not allowed to charge storage or impound fees for the first 24 hours. Companies may then charge $50 per each 24 hours thereafter.
If the driver of a tow truck offers to release a vehicle before it is towed away, the owner of the car will have the option of paying a release fee up to $50 to have the vehicle released from the tow truck, according to the proposal.
A towing advisory board comprised of various towing companies and the Prince William County Police Department review towing fee on an annual basis.
The public hearing on the matter is set for 2 p.m. Aug. 4 at the Prince William County Government Center. The new fees must be approved by the Prince William County Board of Supervisors.
