HI Non-consent Towing Fees May Increase

HI tow truck companies who tow illegally-parked vehicles are urging lawmakers to reinstate two fees that were taken away with a 2007 law.

One is a $50 release-on-location fee and the other is a $15 "overtime" fee when tows are done between 6p.m. and 6 a.m., and on weekends and holidays.

The 2007 legislation increased towing fees to $75 from $65 and increased the mileage rates from $6.50 to $7.50 per mile.

The State Office of Consumer Protection is against the move. Read the full story here.
