If you tow or get towed in Louisiana, here’s what you need to know about the 2024 regulations:
1. 15% Rate Increase for Non-Consensual Tows Louisiana Towing Regulations Update 2024: What Towing Companies & Drivers Need to KnowIn 2024, the Louisiana Public Service Commission (LPSC) approved a statewide 15% increase on maximum rates for non-consensual tows.
This applies to situations where the tow is ordered by law enforcement (such as accidents or illegal parking), not when a driver calls a tow company directly.
Make sure your invoices and published rates reflect this change—inspectors will be watching.
2. Maximum Storage Fees
Maximum storage fees for towed vehicles are set and regulated. Double-check the current LPSC guidelines to avoid violating the cap; overcharging can get your license yanked.
3. Licensing & Insurance
All towing operators must be licensed through the LPSC.
Proof of adequate insurance is mandatory. Renewals are being checked closely this year.
4. Consumer Protections
Clear signage and transparency are required when towing from private property.
Release forms and itemized bills are now standard. No more “mystery charges” on the invoice.
Vehicles must be accessible for personal property retrieval at reasonable hours.
5. Penalties for Non-Compliance
Fines, license suspensions, and even criminal penalties for operators who flout the new regulations.
