Only some of them. There is a towing fee and a daily storage fee which can add up pretty quickly. You may have to correct whatever the reason was it was impounded for. If it was just parking in the wrong place, you have to show ownership and probably insurance and pay the fine and costs. How long you have is going to vary place to place but probably at least 30 days. At $5 to $10 a day storage or more, this can get to be more than the car is worth or you can afford to pay quickly.
