What happens if you delay

⚠ Accumulating Tickets

If you delay, parking tickets will continue to accumulate, potentially reaching fines that could exceed $1,000. The longer you wait, the more you risk incurring additional costs.

⚠ Impound Fees

Once a vehicle is towed, daily storage fees can add up quickly, ranging from $40 to $100 per day. The longer your vehicle remains unclaimed, the more expensive it becomes.

⚠ Complicated Donation Process

If your vehicle is towed before donation, the process becomes much harder. You may face a municipal auction process, making your vehicle donation not only complicated but possibly impossible.

⚠ DMV Release Delays

Failure to act swiftly may result in difficulties obtaining a release-of-liability from the DMV, which is essential to stop future ticket accrual and resolve any existing issues.

Have these ready before you submit

New Orleans specifics

In New Orleans, the DMV has strict deadlines regarding abandoned vehicles. If your vehicle doesn’t move within 72 hours, it risks being ticketed or towed. Local tow operators typically respond quickly, leaving little time for action. Louisiana's laws also impose hefty fines for abandoned vehicles, making it crucial to act fast and avoid unnecessary penalties.
