Impound Lot Overview

Vehicles left at airport lots in excess of 30 days are subject to impound by the Port Authority Police.

You must obtain a release before you can pick up your vehicle. Some Port Authority facilities will store your vehicle temporarily before moving it to a towing company lot.

Documents required for release:

• Valid driver's license
• Valid insurance
• Proper ownership and registration papers

Agents for owner must provide the documents listed above in addition to a notarized "Letter of Authorization" that permits the agent to claim the vehicle for the owner.

Note: The towing contractor will collect both a tow fee and daily storage fee. Fees assessed by the tow company are not negotiable with the Port Authority of NY & NJ. Fees are accepted in certified checks or money orders only at all facilities except for Newark Liberty and JFK. Impounds related to an arrest may require a district attorney's release.
