Failure to comply with certain traffic rules (mainly parking) by a motorist leads to the forced movement of the car to an impound lot. Sanctions are imposed on the owner of the vehicle. He will have to pay a fine for towing the car and the violation itself, as well as pay money for storing the car in the parking lot. In 2019, the amount of penalties increased. To minimize the consequences, it is important to know how to act in such a situation and exactly how much you need to pay to return the car.

What is the amount of the fine?

The grounds for moving a car to an impound lot are specified in the Code of the Russian Federation on Administrative Violations, Article 27.13 of December 30, 2001, No. 195-FZ (Administrative Code of the Russian Federation). Payment depends on the region in which the violation occurred. Local authorities independently determine prices, which are adjusted by special order.

In Moscow, the document of the Department of Economic Policy No. 35-R dated 09.09.2013 is in force. In St. Petersburg - Decree of the Tariff Committee dated December 20, 2012 N 588-r.

The amount you have to pay includes several components:

• tow truck services;
• fine for violating traffic rules (wrong parking, driving without a vehicle, etc.);
• the vehicle is parked.

As a rule, the car is towed when parked in the wrong place. The size of the fine depends on where exactly the car is parked.

• If you leave it in a place intended for disabled people, it will cost the vehicle owner 5,000 rubles ((Part 2 of Article 12.19 of the Administrative Code).
• Parking at a public transport stop or nearby in the regions will lighten your wallet by 1000 rubles (Part 3.1 of Article 12.19 of the Administrative Code), in Moscow and St. Petersburg - by 3000 rubles. (Part 6 of the same article).
• When a car obstructs the passage of other cars or is parked in a tunnel, the fine is 2,000 rubles (2,000 rubles (part 4 of the same article), in Moscow and St. Petersburg - 3,000 rubles (part 6 of the same article).
• It is prohibited to park on the sidewalk and pedestrian crossing. In the regions, for such a violation you need to pay 1000 rubles (Part 3 of Article 12.19 of the Administrative Code). In Moscow and the Moscow region, the amount of cash payment increases to 3,000 rubles. The same rules apply in St. Petersburg (Part 6 of the same article).

The fine for a tow truck in different regions of Russia can be studied in the table.

You must pay separately for the maintenance of the vehicle in the impound lot. In the regions, the service costs an average of 40 rubles per hour. In Moscow and St. Petersburg prices are higher. Depending on the category of car, you need to pay from 500 to 3000 rubles per day.

How to pick up a car from a Samara impound lot

As a result, in most large cities of the country, including Samara or Saratov, not to mention such megacities as Moscow or St. Petersburg, the problem of parking on the streets has worsened to unprecedented proportions.

Today, car owners can pick up a towed car from the impound lot before making payment. This opportunity has been available to car owners since September 2021, allowing them to pick up a vehicle from a impound lot immediately after the reason for its evacuation has been eliminated.

For what violations is the car taken away: parking and other reasons

Parking must not contradict established rules. Otherwise, the car will be taken to the impound lot, and the owner will be issued a hefty fine. To avoid trouble, you need to clearly know where it is prohibited to park your car:

• in places for disabled people;
• in the second row;
• on the sidewalk or pedestrian crossing;
• on tram tracks;
• closer than 15 meters to a public transport stop;
• in the tunnel;
• within the coverage area of ​​signs indicating that stopping or parking is prohibited. The car will definitely be picked up when there is a sign nearby that says “A tow truck is working.”

Cars can be towed not only because of improper parking. Article 27.13 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation provides for the seizure of a car in the following cases:

• lack of a driver's license (expired, never received, revoked);
• the driver does not have a vehicle registration certificate;
• when a person is drunk and driving;
• car systems are faulty: brake, steering, clutch, etc.;
• the driver refused a medical examination;
• the rules for transporting dangerous bulky goods were violated.

Traffic police officers will also confiscate a vehicle if it blocks the road for other cars and interferes with free movement.

There are cases when the car was taken by a tow truck to the impound lot and later it turned out that he damaged it. To prevent this from happening to you, next time inspect your iron horse for possible defects received during transportation to the impound lot.

When receiving the car at the impound area, the driver will be asked to sign an acceptance certificate. We advise you not to rush into signing, but to conduct a thorough inspection of your vehicle.

If you find that there are any chips, scratches, or dents on the car, indicate this in the report.

The next step is to estimate the cost of repairs at the service center and demand compensation for the costs from the company that towed the car and stored it at the impound lot.

In addition to the towing service, write a claim to the parking fine; you will also need their response if there is further proceedings.

Since the activities of these organizations are subject to insurance, problems with paying compensation to the injured person will not be a big problem for them and everything will happen quite quickly.

If your demands are not met, go to court. In this case, tow truck operators will have to not only compensate for the costs associated with car repairs, but also the costs of lawyers and the court.

To appeal the evacuation, you need to collect a package of necessary documents. You will need:

• Copy of the passport.
• A copy of your driver's license.
• A protocol received from the traffic police confirming the fact of evacuation of the vehicle.
• PTS.

• Testimony from witnesses will also be needed in court.
• If the legal representative of the owner of the evacuated car goes to court, he will need to provide a notarized power of attorney.

Due to the fact that the court will require evidence of illegal evacuation, it is advisable to provide it, so do:

• Photos and videos on your phone. They should show that the car was parked in a place that is not prohibited for parking.
• Screenshots of panoramas from the place where the car was evacuated.
• If a recording was made from the car recorder during the loading process onto the tow truck, this will also need to be provided.

An application must be submitted to the traffic police within 10 days from the date of evacuation of the car. The authorities responsible for parking spaces in the city should be contacted within 10 days. As a rule, the processing time for an application is 5 business days.

If you decide to challenge the evacuation through court, you have 3 months to do so. During this time, you need to prepare materials on the case and attach all certificates and documents from the authorities that you applied to before.

If the court's decision is positive, the funds will be returned to the account specified in the application within 2 weeks.

As a rule, the court considers the claim for about 1-2 months. The case will go faster if the plaintiff’s interests are challenged in court by a lawyer. Moreover, he will help you file a claim in accordance with all the rules.

If the car was taken by a tow truck to the impound lot, you will need to challenge the legality of the vehicle evacuation procedure with the traffic police. For this:

• Submit your complaint to the traffic police department. Support your appeal to this body with evidence.

The result of your appeal should be a written response from traffic police officers . If your appeal was ignored, contact the Prosecutor's Office.

In practice, the traffic police does not deal with complaints, and the service that towed the car does not admit its mistake. Therefore, it is advisable to immediately write a complaint to the Prosecutor’s Office.

The response will indicate what actions were taken to resolve your problem and when it will be addressed.

File a claim with the court.

As in the case of an appeal to the traffic police department, provide the necessary documents to the court and support your appeal with evidence. Indicate in the statement of claim that you require the administrative penalty to be canceled and the funds paid to be returned to you.

If you have not contacted the services of a car lawyer, be sure to take part in the trial.

As soon as the court makes a decision, you will be issued a writ of execution. If the decision and administrative penalty are cancelled, the amount spent on paying the fine, paying for the impound lot and car towing services will be transferred to your account.

All actions of the plaintiff must take place in two stages: pre-trial, when he tries to resolve the issue peacefully, without going to court, and, in fact, judicial, if attempts to independently contact the traffic police or the prosecutor’s office did not lead to a positive result.

How to find out where the car was taken

It is important to quickly find out which parking lot the forcibly evacuated car was sent to. To do this, you need to call 02 or contact the rescue service 112. The driver must dictate the car’s registration number to the employee and wait until it is checked in the database.

In large cities there are dispatch services that instantly track where the car has been taken.

• The telephone numbers of such a service are in Moscow and 8 (495) 539-54-54. You can use the website parking.mos.ru.

Legislation determines when a car can be prevented from being sent to the impound lot.

1. According to Article 27.13, Part 1.1 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation, the driver has the right to pick up a car loaded on a tow truck if the latter has not yet driven off. Traffic police officers are required to lower the vehicle from the platform and hand it over to the owner. He, in turn, must eliminate the reason for the evacuation and park the car correctly. In this case, the driver only pays the fine for illegal parking.
2. Article 27.13, Part 3 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation states that a tow truck cannot start moving until the employee receives a copy of the protocol on the detention of the car until it is sealed. It takes from 5 to 10 minutes to complete the paperwork. This is often enough for the owner to return to the vehicle and prevent repossession.

If the car evacuation process is disrupted, the owner can file a claim against the company that carried out the procedure and demand monetary compensation. The fine sometimes reaches 20,000 rubles.

How to pick up a car from a Samara impound lot

Now the court of the Industrial District of Samara is considering over 100 claims of Kurs-3 LLC against those motorists who have not come to pick up their vehicles for several months now. LLC asks to recognize the cars as ownerless. This can only be done in court.

Residents of the regional center and Tolyatti have to pay 1 thousand rubles to deliver a car to the impound lot using a tow truck. In other municipalities, car transportation costs 2 times less. The cost of keeping a car in an impound lot throughout the Samara region is the same: for the first day, the owner of a domestic car must pay about 200 rubles (at the rate of 8 rubles per hour), and the owner of a foreign car - 384 rubles (at the rate of 16 rubles per hour). Only the first 3 hours in the special parking lot are free for owners of evacuated cars.

How to pick up a car

To return the vehicle, you need to come to the duty station and contact the inspector who made the arrest. You should take from him a copy of the protocol on the administrative violation, the certificate of acceptance and transfer of the car to the impound lot and a certificate allowing you to pick up the car. You need to have with you:

• registration certificate;
• rights;
• MTPL insurance.

If the documents are left in the glove compartment of the car, you will have to go to the parking lot, write an application for access to the car interior and pick up the papers. You should return with them to the duty station and take a protocol with permission allowing you to return the vehicle.

The owner's representative, in addition to the main documents, must present a power of attorney certified by a notary, which gives the right to represent the owner's interests in government bodies.

Sequence of actions to pick up a vehicle from the impound area

When you have all the necessary documents for the car, you need to come with the necessary documents to the appropriate department of the State Traffic Inspectorate, where the employee has formalized the evacuation of the vehicle.

The address of the impound lot can be obtained by calling 112. The inspector of the State Traffic Inspectorate will issue a resolution on an administrative offense, which you should present at the impound lot. The parking attendant will provide an invoice for the cost of towing, storage, and escort you to the vehicle.

Payment of the penalty

At the impound lot, the driver will be issued a receipt for payment of expenses incurred during the evacuation and storage of the car. According to the rules, the car must be returned as soon as the reason for the evacuation is eliminated. In case of incorrect parking, the refund must be made immediately after the driver’s request. Tow truck and parking services can be paid for later. The fine for violating the rules must be paid within 60 days.

In small years, parking lot employees do not always adhere to the law and demand payment for the stay at the impound lot and tow truck services before returning the car, although they do not have such a right.

You can deposit money in different ways. The easiest way to do this is:

• at a Sberbank branch;
• postal transfer;
• on the State Services website;
• through the cash desk at the traffic police department;
• using electronic wallets, for example, Yandex Money, WebMoney.

The owner of the car must pay the fine, not the driver who was entrusted with driving.

Basic Rules

So, after an offense has been committed, the car is placed in a impound lot. What to do? What is the law regarding the return of a car from an impound lot?

What documents do employees of the organization need to present? How much do I need to pay for removal and storage? More details about everything.

The procedure for returning a car is also regulated by Article 27.13 of the Code of Administrative Offenses and the legislative acts of a particular region of the Russian Federation (in terms of payment).

In order to apply such a measure as detaining a vehicle and moving it to a specialized parking lot, the traffic police inspector must draw up a protocol indicating:

• date, place and time of drawing up the document;
• reason for detention (in accordance with the Administrative Code);
• Full name and position of the person who compiled the protocol;
• information about the owner of the vehicle (if the evacuation is carried out in his presence) and details of the detained vehicle;

The protocol must be signed by the responsible person who drew up the document and by the offender (if the document is drawn up in his presence).

The driver also has the right to refuse to sign the document, for example, if he does not agree with the information specified in it. In such a situation, a refusal note is placed in the protocol.

If the document was drawn up without the presence of the driver, for example, due to improper parking, then a copy of the protocol can be obtained from the traffic police department that detained the vehicle.

After all the documents have been drawn up, the car is sealed (this measure is necessary to guarantee the safety of the car owner’s personal property in the car) and is moved by tow truck to the parking lot specified in the protocol for storage.

To obtain a vehicle you must:

• independently and completely eliminate the reason for the detention. For example, if you park incorrectly, the reason for imposing a penalty in the form of towing the car is automatically eliminated;

• After eliminating the reason for the detention, you must visit the traffic police department that drew up the protocol in order to obtain permission to return the car. To obtain a document, you must confirm that there is no reason for the detention (for example, present documents confirming the ownership of the vehicle);
• with the received permit, vehicle registration certificate, driver’s license and compulsory motor liability insurance policy, you must drive to the impound lot and receive receipts for payment for the services provided by the organization;

• After presenting all documents, including the payment receipt, the car can be picked up. When returning the car, an act of acceptance and transfer of the vehicle is drawn up.

It should be remembered that the requirement to pay a fine imposed in connection with an offense in order to obtain a car from an impound lot is not legal, since the law allows 60 days to pay fines.

When receiving the car, it is recommended to carefully check the appearance (for any damage) and the safety of personal property.

The evacuation rules are prescribed in Art. 27.13 Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation and in other provisions. The New Procedure has been in use today since June 19, 2015, when Law No. 143-FZ of June 8, 2015 introduced new structural changes to the regulations for the car evacuation process.

All cars for disabled people have their own design features; it will not be difficult for a police officer to look into the interior, see the unequipped driver’s seat in order to realize that the use of the sign is illegal.
4. When there are people in the car, the car cannot be driven to a parking lot.
5. The traffic police officer is obliged to remain at the place of forced evacuation of the car until the tow truck begins to move.
6. Driving a car with foreign license plates is only possible for 90 days, counting from the moment of entry into Russia.
7. When the driver is on site, evacuation is impossible by law.
8. When the driver arrives before the tow truck moves, evacuation is impossible.
