What If I Am Not the Registered Owner?

Modified on Sat, 7 Mar at 7:51 PM

If you are not the registered owner of the vehicle, you may still be able to retrieve it from impound in certain situations.


However, the storage facility must verify that you are authorized to take possession of the vehicle.


Identification Is Required


Anyone retrieving a vehicle must present valid government-issued photo identification.


Authorization May Be Required


If the registered owner is not present, the person retrieving the vehicle may need to provide documentation showing authorization.


Examples may include:

  • Written authorization from the owner

  • Proof connecting the owner to the vehicle

  • Additional documentation required by the storage facility


Certain situations may require additional forms or verification.


Contact MC Towing for Specific Situations


If you are unsure whether you can retrieve a vehicle on behalf of the owner, contact MC Towing before traveling to the impound lot.


Phone: 713-222-2277


Having your license plate number or VIN available will help staff assist you more quickly.


Confirm Vehicle Location First


Before visiting the impound lot, confirm the vehicle location using the lookup portal.
