Private Property Towing Service

If you’re experiencing a situation in which someone has parked in a way that blocks your driveway, or if you have a private property, no parking sign on your property that someone has ignored, you can give us a call. We are licensed and insured by the state to tow away private property vehicles, which isn’t something all tow truck companies in Hoover can say. Business owners often take advantage of our services because they find abandoned vehicles taking up valuable parking spaces for their paying customers, and illegally parked vehicles all over the place. We also do a lot of junk car removal around town, making the neighbors very happy!

What Can You Do About an Illegally Parked Car?

When someone is blocking your driveway, parking in a marked "No Parking" zone, or taking up space on your private property without permission, you're within your rights to take action. In most cases, you can legally tow a vehicle if you've posted the proper signage and use a licensed towing provider.

Action Towing & Recovery, Inc. can take care of the removal and notify the vehicle owner about their next steps so you're not stuck in the middle of a confrontation.

When Do You Need To Tow a Car off Private Property?

Towing is necessary when a vehicle interferes with the normal use of your property.

Common examples include:

  • Vehicles blocking driveways, garages, or dumpster access
  • Cars parked in fire lanes or designated emergency areas
  • Unauthorized use of customer-only or tenant-only spaces
  • Abandoned or junk vehicles left unattended for days
  • Vehicles violating HOA or residential community rules

Our team responds quickly to resolve these issues so you can regain control of your property.

What's the Process for Removing a Vehicle From Private Property?

The last thing you want to do is confront anyone or deal with angry drivers. We manage everything from start to finish to make it easier for you to continue your day as usual.

Here's how removing a vehicle from your property works when you call us:

  1. Call us with the details of the situation.
  2. We'll verify signage and location legality.
  3. Our certified towing operator will arrive promptly, assess the vehicle, and document the violation.
  4. We tow the vehicle to a secure impound facility.
  5. The owner is notified and given instructions for retrieval.
  6. You receive a report for your records.

Why Is Posting Clear Private Parking Lot Signage Important?

According to Alabama law, tow zones need to be clearly marked for private property towing to be legally enforceable. If you don't have visible signage posted at every lot entrance or restricted space, you may be unable to tow the vehicle, even if it's clearly in the wrong.

We'll help you understand the signage requirements and determine if parking enforcement is legal on a case-by-case basis.

How to Avoid Private Property Towing in Hoover, AL

While we do enjoy towing vehicles, we know it can be an inconvenience for the people who didn’t expect it or didn’t know they were even susceptible to private property towing. So how can you avoid having your vehicle towed from private property?

  • Pay close attention to all signs around where you are parking. Maybe there’s not a sign right in front of your vehicle, but if there’s one in the vicinity, you should probably park somewhere else. There are specific no parking signs that state the vehicle can be removed at the owner’s expense, and these are the areas you should avoid if you don’t want to have to deal with your car being towed.
  • Never park in areas which are likely to get your vehicle moved, like private parking lots, driveways, and handicap sections. Be sure you pay all of your parking tickets because if you have any outstanding, you could face having your vehicle towed from your private property.
  • Keep your vehicle up to code with all safety regulations. If your vehicle is missing any major part or equipment that is necessary for it to operate safely and correctly, it can be lawfully towed away. So if you’re missing a door, windshield, or axle, know that if you don’t repair or replace it, your vehicle is basically considered junk and will be removed.
