If there&#8217;s no indication of theft (e.g. broken glass), look around for signage for clues, such as clearway, private parking, yellow lines on the road, etc. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Public property<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Police officers and parking wardens have the authority to organise your vehicle to be towed. A tow authority must be completed before the tow truck driver can tow your car.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A tow authority contains information about the vehicle and the circumstances, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nzta.govt.nz\/resources\/rules\/land-transport-rule-operator-licensing-2017\/operator-licensing-2017\/#58\">it&#8217;s covered under legislation<\/a>. The tow authority is written on a form approved by NZTA and includes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>(a) the make, model, colour, and vehicle registration plate details of the vehicle being moved:<br><\/li><li>(b) the date, time, and place of pick-up:<br><\/li><li>(c) the intended place of set down (and the actual place of set down, if different):<br><\/li><li>(d) the time of set down, to be completed on set down:<br><\/li><li>(e) the name, address, and, where practicable, the signature of the person ordering the vehicle to be moved:<br><\/li><li>(f) the name, address, and signature of the driver of the vehicle recovery service vehicle:<br><\/li><li>(g) an indication of whether the reason for the vehicle being moved was a crash, breakdown, vehicle impoundment, it&#8217;s wanted in relation to a crime, or an unauthorised parking of the vehicle.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/www.drivingtests.co.nz\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/tow-truck-loading-car-onto-deck-600x400.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-30203\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.drivingtests.co.nz\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/tow-truck-loading-car-onto-deck-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.drivingtests.co.nz\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/tow-truck-loading-car-onto-deck-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.drivingtests.co.nz\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/tow-truck-loading-car-onto-deck-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.drivingtests.co.nz\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/tow-truck-loading-car-onto-deck-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.drivingtests.co.nz\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/tow-truck-loading-car-onto-deck-2048x1366.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Private property<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you park your car on private property, the property owner can either have it removed or have it immobilised. However, this doesn&#8217;t cover parking across someone&#8217;s driveway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Any private property where a tow truck operates should have clear signage to explain who can park there and for how long, how much parking costs, what will happen if a driver breaches the rules, and who they can contact if the car is towed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can get your vehicle back by paying the towing fees and any storage fees that have accumulated. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Your property<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you fall behind on payments, your vehicle may be repossessed from your property. They must provide a repossession warning notice, the credit contract, their authority to act on the lender&#8217;s behalf, a copy of their repossession agent&#8217;s licence or certificate of approval, a statement of their visit time and reason (listing the vehicle as an item to be repossessed) and a statement of your rights.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What rules must tow truck companies and drivers follow?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tow truck drivers must have a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.trdrivertraining.co.nz\/courses\/v-vehicle-recovery-plus-licence-endorsement-course\/\">V endorsement<\/a> on their licence, and the towing company must hold a vehicle recovery service licence and comply with the rules set out in the Land Transport Rule: Operator Licencing 2017 which cover prevention of damage, registering the towed vehicles, instruction to take the vehicle directly to the yard, and who a tow authority should be signed by.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Unauthorised towing<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The tow truck operator must have a tow authorisation from a person who is legally allowed to give them a tow authority (e.g. the property owner, a police officer, etc). It&#8217;s best to put it in writing. If you have to pay to get your car back, you can escalate the complaint to NZTA and apply to the Disputes Tribunal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Where do you collect your vehicle from?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If your vehicle has been towed from private property, there will be a sign indicating which towing company has taken it. Give them a call and they will tell you where it has been towed to. If your vehicle has been towed by the council, call the council to find out which yard; in the case that it has been moved for safety or convenience (e.g. roadworks), it may be just around the corner on another street. For example, <a href=\"https:\/\/at.govt.nz\/driving-parking\/parking-rules\/towing\/\">this is Auckland Council&#8217;s towing information page<\/a>, and other councils have similar pages. If the council doesn&#8217;t know, or if your car has been towed by Police, contact your local police station. Note that there will be a short delay from when your car is towed to when the details are available on the Police database.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you return and your vehicle is no longer there, it will either have been towed or stolen.
