Storage fees only apply when a vehicle sits in a tow yard overnight or longer. A same-day pickup-to-drop with no yard stop should never have a storage fee. NYC DCWP rules cap storage at $25/day, starting day 2.

If you see a storage fee on a same-day drop invoice, dispute it. It's a 311 complaint to DCWP.

We never charge storage on same-day drops. Standard $249 / hour rate, no add-ons.
