Who pays for towing and storage costs?
Normally, the insurance company for the driver who caused the car accident will pay the reasonable towing and storage costs of your vehicle. They will continue to pay the storage costs while determining whether your car is a “total loss.” If the insurance company declares the car a “total loss,” they will move the car from the repair shop to a wrecking yard or a free storage area. You will be called before your car is moved. If you refuse to allow the insurance company to move your car, you will have to pay the storage costs from the day of your refusal forward. If you want to keep the vehicle, you can pay to have it towed to your home.
