The cost of impound parking in Moscow, how much will you have to pay to pick up the car?

Moscow is a big city, and like all big cities there is a problem with car parking, especially in the central areas. If the driver leaves the car at his own risk and parked somewhere within the Boulevard and Garden Rings, then it is likely that when he comes back to the stop, he will not find his car - it will be evacuated.

You can find out where the car was sent by calling 02 or free of charge from a mobile phone - 112. A counter question will immediately appear - why the car was taken away, and how much the services of a tow truck and impound lot will cost.

It is worth noting that even though Russia has uniform tariffs for these services, each city and region has the right to set its own rates. To pick up a car from a car impound, a Muscovite will need to prepare a fairly tangible amount of money, since they will have to pay a fine for violating parking rules, car evacuation services, and plus idle time in the parking lot.

We have already written about fines for violating the rules of parking, stopping and parking. The cost of towing services depends on the category of the car:

for the transportation of motorcycles and cars with an engine power of not more than 80 hp, you will have to pay 3 thousand rubles;
if the engine power of a car is between 80 and 250 horses, then 5 thousand rubles will have to be paid for a tow truck;
for a passenger car with an engine whose power exceeds 250 horses - 7 thousand;
trucks and minibuses of categories C and D - 27 thousand;
oversized - 47 thousand.

The prices, it must be said, are not the lowest, it will be especially difficult for drivers of buses and jeep pickups. Pickups are a separate issue, and they are classified as Category C under our rules.

Accordingly, the cost of downtime in the parking lot will depend on the category of the car:

mopeds, scooters, motorcycles - 500 rubles;
categories B and D with a total mass of less than three and a half tons - one thousand rubles;
cargo and beads weighing over 3.5 tons - two thousand;
oversized - 3 thousand.

Payment for the impound is charged for every full day - 24 hours.

The cost of 1 day of storing a car in a car impound:

Cars of category “A” – 500 rubles/day;
Cars of categories “B” and “D” up to 3500 kg – 1000 rubles/day;
Cars of categories “D”, “C” and “E” over 3500 kg – 2000 rubles/day;
Oversized vehicles - 3000 rubles / day.

If you quickly rush for your car within a few hours after the evacuation, you can save one thousand, although you will have to pay a fine and a tow truck. If you come the next day, then pay only for one day.

In total, there are about thirty parking lots in Moscow, on the official website of the city and on the website of the traffic police, all this information can be easily found. Also, you can call the dispatcher to find out at what address your car was taken.
