Why car lockout pricing costs what it does in Somerville
A lockout around the campus density around Harvard, MIT and Tufts and the low bridges on Memorial and Storrow drives is quoted before the truck rolls, with after-hours calls stated on the phone rather than added at the door. The operator confirms the unlock method for your door on the call, since a modern electronic lock is not the same job as an older mechanical one.
Somerville is the densest city in New England, with Tufts on the Medford line and almost no off-street parking. Permit enforcement is tight, a claim check for a towed car is obtained at the police station on Washington Street, and the tow is capped by the state DPU maximums rather than the Boston schedule.
How we work Somerville
Somerville is the densest city in New England, and that scarcity is the whole towing story. Every legal space is spoken for, off-street parking barely exists, and residential tows, lockouts and dead batteries run constant on the tight blocks. Tufts sits on the northern edge, adding a student rhythm to the pressure. A tow here does not go to the Boston lot: the vehicle is held by a contracted company at the state DPU maximum rates, up to $132 to release and up to $35 a day storage, and you pick up the claim check at the police station, 220 Washington Street. The operator we send covers the dense streets with a truck that fits them, and points you to the Somerville process rather than the Boston one.
