Contract Towing

Contract towing is a service that provides business owners with the ability to have a improperly parked, unauthorized or abandoned vehicle removed immediately. Unlike PPI towing that has a waiting time of 72 hours before it can be legally removed. A written contact is mandatory for this type of towing that authorizes only specifically named individuals to sign and approve the contracted tow company to remove and store the vehicle.
