How much does it cost to get a car out of impound in Revere?
A plain-English guide to impound and storage costs in Revere: release fees, daily storage, the paperwork you need, and how to get your car back for less.
Why impound & storage fees costs what it does in Revere
Chelsea, Revere, Everett and the rest of the near North Shore each run their own impound, so a figure a neighbor quotes from a Boston tow does not apply. Massachusetts caps the charges through the Department of Public Utilities in 220 CMR 272: up to $132 for a base tow within five miles, $4.40 for each mile past five, and up to $35 per 24 hours of storage at a fenced, lit lot, or $17.50 otherwise. Call the department that ordered the tow and ask which lot has it.
Revere runs its own impound, not the City of Boston lot, so a Boston city fee will not match here. Call the police department that ordered the tow and ask for the tow fee and the daily storage rate. A police-ordered or private-property non-consensual tow is capped by the Massachusetts DPU maximums in 220 CMR 272: up to $132 to tow within five miles, up to $4.40 a mile beyond, and up to $35 per 24 hours of storage at a lighted fenced lot or $17.50 otherwise. Those are state maximums, not a set price. Under M.G.L. c. 266 s. 120D a private-property tow taken without posted no-parking signs at every entrance and exit, or without written notice to the local police chief before removal, must be released with no removal or storage charge. Se habla espanol. In beach season Revere tows from posted seasonal-parking streets, so check whether a seasonal restriction applied where you parked.
How we work Revere
Revere runs on the beach and the highway. Revere Beach packs in seasonal parking that fills and turns over hard on a warm day, which drives lockouts, dead batteries and tow-zone enforcement along the shore. Route 1 cuts through the city and Logan sits just south, so highway breakdown work rounds out the calls. Revere has a large Spanish-speaking population, and this site reads and answers in Spanish. As its own city, a tow here follows the state DPU maximum rates, up to $132 to release plus up to $35 a day storage, rather than the Boston lot fees. The operator we send covers the beach parking, the Route 1 corridor and the neighborhood streets, and takes the call in Spanish.

Common Revere cost questions
How much does it cost to get my car out of impound in Revere?
Revere runs its own impound, which is not the City of Boston lot and does not use Boston's $90 fee, so a figure a neighbor quotes from a city tow won't match. Massachusetts caps what a non-consent tow may charge through the Department of Public Utilities in 220 CMR 272: a base tow within five miles of no more than $132, $4.40 for each mile past five, and storage of no more than $35 per 24 hours at a fenced, lit lot, or $17.50 otherwise. Call the department that ordered the tow and ask for its lot and its rate.
What do I need to get my impounded car back in Revere?
For the City of Boston lot you need a valid driver's license, your license plate number, proof of active registration and proof of insurance, and all charges paid; the city accepts cash, a money order, a cashier's check, or a debit or credit card with a 2.5% processing fee. A suburban impound sets its own list, so ask the department that ordered the tow what it needs before you drive over.
What happens if I don't pick up my car in Revere?
A town impound sets its own hours, and storage keeps running the whole time at up to $35 per 24 hours under the state ceiling, so the earlier you call the department that ordered the tow, the less it costs. Massachusetts also treats a vehicle left over 72 hours as abandoned under M.G.L. c. 90 s. 22C, and a private-property tow that skipped a required step, such as posted signs at every entrance and exit or written notice to the police chief, must be released with no charge under M.G.L. c. 266 s. 120D.
Can Quick Tow Boston get my car out of impound in Revere?
No, and it's worth being straight about that. We connect drivers with private tow and roadside operators; we aren't the city lot, the town or the police department holding your car, so we can't waive anyone's fees or release it faster. What we can do is help you work out who has it and what the process is, and line up an operator to move it once it's released. Call (857) 858-5057.
