The Department of Licensing and Consumer Protection (DLCP), Consumer Protection Unit, wants you to be aware of your towing rights.

The DLCP Owner’s Bill of Rights for Towed Vehicles is a document that clearly outlines the rights of a consumer having their vehicle towed, and the responsibilities of the towing company.
