A storage lot only pays if you know what is behind the fence, when it came in and what it owes on the day the owner shows up. TowingBossPro ties every stored vehicle to its call, keeps a storage start date and daily storage rate on each one, and counts the storage days onto the invoice, so nothing leaves the gate unbilled.
Plans start at $59 a month, and you are never billed per user. That price covers what an impound lot actually runs on: every vehicle tied to a call, a storage start date and daily storage rate on each one, storage days counted onto the invoice, vehicle photos from the driver app and billing that collects before the keys go out. Add every driver, dispatcher and yard person without your bill going up.
Every call has a pickup and a drop-off address. When the drop-off is your own storage lot, the vehicle is headed for storage from the moment the call is created.
Each stored vehicle carries its own storage start date and daily storage rate, so a box truck and a compact sedan are billed the way you decide.
The number of storage days is counted and added to the invoice next to the tow and other charges. Nobody counts squares on a wall calendar.
Year, make, model, color, plate and VIN on every call, plus vehicle photos from the driver app, kept with the record for the release window.
Police and municipal agencies, property managers, body shops, dealers and motor clubs, each with their calls and invoices kept under the account.
Automated texts and emails, two-way texting, and a customer app where owners see the invoice and pay online before they come to the lot.
The storage day you never bill is the one nobody counted. TowingBossPro starts every stored vehicle from its call, with the vehicle details and driver photos already on it, then keeps a storage start date and a daily storage rate on the vehicle. The storage days are counted and added to the invoice, so the total at the window comes from the record, not from memory. Storage fees, day counting and notice rules vary by state and city and may cap what you can charge; check your local law before setting rates.
Storage records only stay complete when entering them takes less time than skipping them. The software has to be quick for the driver at the curb and clear for whoever is working the release window.
Add your storage lot as a drop-off location, set up your police, property manager, body shop and dealer accounts, and import existing customers from a CSV.
The call lands on the Waiting List on the live map with a pickup, a drop-off at your lot and the vehicle details. Dispatch puts it on a truck on the board.
The driver confirms year, make, model, color, plate and VIN, takes the vehicle photos in the driver app, and drops the car at the lot.
The office sets the storage start date and daily rate. Storage days are counted onto the invoice, the owner gets a text, and you collect before the keys go out.
Most lots track storage on a whiteboard, a logbook or a spreadsheet that has nothing to do with the invoice. The vehicle sits, the days add up, and nobody connects the two until an upset owner is standing at the window.
When storage lives on paper, the failures are predictable: a car walks out the gate for the tow fee alone, a start date gets entered two days late, and a vehicle sits in the back row for a month with nobody billing it. Or an owner points at a dent and says it was not there, and the only record is a tow sheet in a truck door pocket.
TowingBossPro keeps every stored vehicle tied to its call, its photos, its start date and its daily rate, and puts the storage days on the invoice. New to running a lot in software? Start with Impound & Storage Software: The Complete Guide for Towing Companies.
It is the same platform towing companies use for dispatch, the driver app, roadside calls, accounts and invoicing, so your storage lot lives in the same account as the rest of the business.
Everything a towing company needs to know what is in storage, bill every day of it and release vehicles only after the invoice is paid.
Incoming calls wait on a live map so dispatch sees where every pickup is before assigning a truck.
Impound pulls, account moves out of the lot and scheduled sweeps laid out by truck and day.
Two addresses on every call, and the drop-off can be your own storage lot.
Year, make, model, color, plate and VIN on the call, so the office can find the car from what the caller knows.
Drivers photograph the vehicle at pickup in the driver app, and the photos stay with the call.
Every stored vehicle has a storage start date, so you always know how long it has been in the lot.
Set the daily rate on each vehicle from your rate sheet, inside whatever limits apply locally.
The number of storage days is counted and added to the invoice with the tow and other charges.
Police and municipal, property managers, body shops, dealers and motor clubs, with calls and invoices kept under each account.
Mark police holds, keys in office or waiting on adjuster, and record case numbers or authorization contacts.
Tell owners where the vehicle is, release hours and what to bring, and let them text back with questions.
Owners and accounts see their invoices, pay online and keep a card on file.
Invoices with sales tax, card on file, online payments and automatic payment follow-ups.
Storage billed and collected, revenue by account and unpaid invoices, so you know what the lot earns.
Bring your existing customers and accounts in from a spreadsheet instead of retyping them.
Add every driver, dispatcher, release clerk and yard person without your software bill going up.
Most impound and storage volume comes through accounts. A property manager calls in cars from a complex, a police department orders tows and holds, a body shop parks wrecks while the adjuster takes his time. TowingBossPro keeps each account's calls and invoices under the account, so you can answer a manager, an agency or a shop in seconds. Want the walkthrough?

Once a vehicle leaves the gate, your leverage leaves with it. TowingBossPro has the invoice finished before the owner arrives: the tow, the storage days counted at the daily rate, any other charges and sales tax where it applies. Owners get a text telling them where the vehicle is and how to pay, many pay online in the customer app before they come, and the clerk checks the invoice shows paid before walking them to the car.

Add every driver, dispatcher, release clerk and yard person without your software bill growing with your headcount.
No credit card required to start. Never billed per user.
Each stored vehicle has a storage start date and a daily storage rate. The number of storage days is counted and added to the invoice along with the tow and any other charges, so the total at release comes from the record instead of a hand count.
No. Storage fees, how days are counted, notice requirements and release rules vary by state and city, and some places cap fees or treat police tows differently. Check your local law and your agency agreements before you set rates. TowingBossPro applies the rates you set consistently.
Yes. Property managers and police or municipal agencies are commercial accounts, with their calls and invoices kept under each account. Tags and custom fields let you mark holds and record details like case numbers or who authorized a tow.
No. TowingBossPro keeps the vehicle record, photos, storage days and invoice. Unclaimed vehicle procedures, liens, title and DMV work are governed by local law and handled outside the software.
Owners can pay online in the customer app before they arrive or pay at the window. Payments are recorded against the invoice, so your release clerk can confirm it is paid before the keys go out.
Start is $59/month, Pro is $89/month and Crew is $199/month. You are never billed per user, and every plan starts with a 14-day free trial with no credit card required.
