Where Should My Vehicle Be Towed?
This is an important decision:
- Insurance company's preferred shop — May be faster to process but you have other options
- Your chosen body shop — You have the right to direct your vehicle to any licensed facility
- Secure storage — If you need time to decide, a licensed storage facility may be appropriate
Be cautious about storage fees — they accumulate daily and can add up quickly.
Police-Dispatched Tow Trucks
When police dispatch a tow truck at the accident scene, you may be assigned to a rotation list provider. You have the right to redirect your vehicle to a different facility as long as it happens before the vehicle is moved (this varies by situation).
Oregon Towing Regulations
Oregon regulates towing companies, including maximum rates for non-consent towing (when police call a tow). Knowing your rights regarding towing fees can prevent overcharges.
