British Columbia raises towing and storage fees for impounded reckless drivers starting September 1.

British Columbia increases towing & storage fees for impounded vehicles driven by reckless drivers. Effective September 1, fees increased by 38% for towing (to $110) and up to 96% for storage fees (capped at $40 per day). These hikes aim to deter reckless behaviors, such as impaired driving, excessive speeding, street racing, or driving without a license, and encourage drivers to think twice before engaging in dangerous activities. This marks the first major impoundment rate adjustment in over a decade.
