Was your car impounded after an arrest? You’ll want to get it back as soon as possible, as you’ll be charged storage fees for your car. The longer it remains unclaimed, the more expensive it will be to get it.
The process for getting it back varies with each jurisdiction. For most jurisdictions, the first step is to call the agency which made the arrest. Typically, it will either be the police department or the sheriff’s department.
One rule to remember is that if you’re not sure who to call, then call the jail where you were detained. They’ll be able to get you in touch with the correct agency. For a list of phone numbers to Virgina area jails, click here.
