Can Someone Else Pick Up My Vehicle?

Modified on Sat, 7 Mar at 7:49 PM

In many cases, a vehicle may be retrieved by someone other than the registered owner. However, the person picking up the vehicle must have the proper documentation and authorization.


This helps ensure that vehicles are released only to individuals who have the legal right to retrieve them.


Identification Requirements


The person retrieving the vehicle must present valid government-issued identification, such as:

  • Driver’s license

  • State or provincial ID

  • Passport


Authorization From the Owner


If the registered owner is not present, the person retrieving the vehicle may need to provide documentation showing they are authorized to pick it up.


Examples may include:

  • Written authorization from the owner

  • Proof connecting the owner to the vehicle

  • Additional documentation depending on the situation


In some cases, additional forms may be required by the storage facility.


Payment of Towing and Storage Fees


All towing and storage charges must be paid before the vehicle can be released.
