The main tasks of the evacuation service
There are private companies that provide transportation services for vehicles that are not on the move. As a rule, they are not cheap. But you do not have to worry that help will be late, will be provided in an inappropriate manner (if you choose the right auto center). In large cities, there is a unified car evacuation service. This is a municipal organization. As a rule, each of them works in the region (krai, republic), services are also paid.
The car transport company provides the following types of assistance:
- transportation of a vehicle that has gotten up as a result of a sudden breakdown;
- extracting it from mud, snow, pond;
- on-site correction of defects that led to the inability of the machine to move (minor breakdowns, refueling, etc.);
- release of the car "locked" in the parking lot;
- moving a car, the driver of which cannot drive it for some reason (due to deterioration in health, deprivation of rights, etc.);
- insurance of public events where tow truck services may be needed;
- overland movement of boats, boats to the reservoir.
In each case, the parameters of the machine and the nature of the problem are taken into account. During the call of a specialist by the driver himself, the dispatcher accepting the order will ask about this. The solution must be such that the vehicle as a result of the evacuation does not suffer even more. Therefore, the transportation service usually has different types equipment capable of moving a damaged or stuck vehicle to the desired location.
Easier to find a service center to help you evacuate passenger car, a motorcycle, a small trailer, as a tractor or platform is enough for this. It is more difficult to evacuate special equipment, large-sized cars.
Functions of the structure of the traffic police
The traffic police evacuation service technically solves the same problem - moving vehicles from one point to another. But the reasons for this are different circumstances:
- Violation motorist traffic rules ... It can be any offense that necessitates the use of articles of the Code of Administrative Offenses(drunkenness while driving, lack of VU, etc.), providing for the evacuation of the car. It is possible to move the car from the place where it was left by the driver without his presence, if we are talking about improper parking. Evacuation is legal when a vehicle left in the wrong place interferes with traffic.
- Traffic accident during which the car was damaged. If the vehicle cannot move, the tow truck will remove it from the road.
In both cases, the car ends up in a special parking lot, and not a car service or the owner's garage, as happens when he himself applies for a service. Here the tow truck is called by the traffic police inspector. Therefore, the procedure must be formalized in a special way.
What if the car was evacuated? If a motorist has violated the traffic rules, his vehicle is evacuated to a car parking lot and remains there until the circumstances are clarified. If a motorist has forgotten his driver's license at home, but after a certain time, one of his relatives gave him a lift, then the car will not be evacuated.
If the driver does not want to pay a fine for the evacuation of the vehicle and finding it in the parking lot, then it is necessary:
- Call the evacuation department yourself. In this case, the special equipment delivers the transport to the specified location. This can be a garage or parking at home. This method is ideal solution if the car is broken and you cannot get it repaired. The cost of calling a tow truck will be minimal, and you will not pay for finding a car in the parking lot.
- Resolve the issue of evacuating the vehicle as soon as possible. If you violated the traffic rules, you need to leave after drawing up the protocol. If you are guilty, then ask someone from your relatives or friends to help you, get behind the wheel instead of you. Per administrative penalty you still have to answer, but there will be few problems.
Payment car fine is considered a serious punishment that awaits anyone who violates traffic rules. If the car was evacuated, where to call? To start need to deal with the documents... To pick up the car, you need to go to the car parking lot and have a portfolio of documents with you:

Reasons for evacuating a vehicle in Moscow
There are very few reasons why a vehicle is evacuated in Moscow. It is customary to refer to them as parking in the wrong place and emergency situations, even some malfunctions that appear on the roads. List of reasons why the car is being evacuated:
- The driver does not have a driver's license with him, a vehicle registration document, a power of attorney to drive a car by another person.
- The vehicle has technical problems.
- The driver was stopped under the influence of alcohol and drugs.
- The driver does not want to undergo a medical examination.
How is the evacuation of a car going to the parking lot?
Let's take a closer look car transportation process to the parking lot. First, the motorist leaves the car in a prohibited place and leaves on business. DPS inspectors see that the car is parked in a prohibited place and call a tow truck. Then the car is evacuated. If the owner of the car managed to come before the moment the special equipment started, then the car must be returned back, and the traffic police inspector must draw up a protocol and impose a fine for parking in a prohibited place.
If the tow truck has moved, then you will need to pick up the car from the parking lot with the permission of the inspector... It's good if the offender gets permission to return the car on the spot from a traffic police officer. Then there will be fewer problems and you will not have to drive around the city, find out where the car is, and look for the very same inspector and ask for permission.
All drivers are afraid of tow trucks and continue to park in the wrong places at their own peril and risk. If the car is taken to a special parking lot, then it will not be easy to pick it up, according to rumors, it is long and expensive. But many do not really know how to pick up a car from the impoundment and what is needed to do it.
Reasons for detention
You have the right to evacuate the car only if the traffic rules are violated.
The most common violations:
- parking in the wrong place (read also about);
- malfunctions in the functioning of the brakes or steering wheel;
- transportation of dangerous goods without permits and special signs;
- identification of driving without a license.
In the first case, if the driver returns to the car and sees that they are going to take it away, the tow truck cannot continue the procedure. The driver will be issued a fine for violation and will be allowed to park the car according to traffic rules.
If the tow truck began to move, then it is no longer possible to stop it.
In other cases, the outcome depends on the decision of the traffic police officers - they can allow you to call friends for a tug, etc., or they can detain the car and send it to the impound.
Price
It is impossible to single out a single tariff for storing a vehicle in a parking lot throughout Russia, because each region has its own regulatory legal acts.
However, there is a single rule - you do not need to pay for the first day. Further, the tariffication differs in different territories.

You can pay off the fines within 2 months, but if you do it right away - even before the car is returned, then there is a 25% discount, as established in Moscow Law No. 42 of 2012.
The payment notification for payment will be issued by the attendant directly at the dedicated parking lot. You can either pick up a car from a car parking lot without payment, or eliminate fines at any bank and then present receipts.
During the same period (1 month), you can appeal the decision of the traffic police to higher authorities. If, as a result, the decision on violation of traffic rules is recognized as canceled, within 8 days the driver will be refunded all the money he paid for the evacuation and storage of the car.
