About Dr. Phillips and International Drive

That means hotel garages, timeshare lots and apartment complexes, all of which post tow-away signs. A visitor's rental car that gets towed here follows the same Florida rules as anyone else's.

Questions
Do you cover all of Dr. Phillips and International Drive?
Yes, including ZIPs 32819, 32836, 32821. The towing company that calls back confirms your location is in its area before a truck is sent.
Will I know the price before the truck comes?
That is the one thing we ask of every towing company we pass requests to: one total on the phone with hook-up and miles in it, and the same total at the curb. If it changes when the truck arrives, you can say no.
My car was towed from a lot here. What are the rules?
Florida's s. 715.07 sets the rules everywhere: signs at each entrance with the company's name and number, a storage lot within 10 miles, and the car released within an hour of asking. In unincorporated Orange County the trespass tow cap is $135. Cities can set their own caps, so ask which schedule applies.
