If you find a car blocking your driveway or taking up a reserved spot, the first step is verifying your legal right to request a removal. In Victoria, property owners or authorized agents can initiate a no-consent tow if a vehicle is trespassing on private land. You will need to provide our driver with proof of property ownership or management authority before we begin the tow-away process. We typically require a signed property owner authorization form on-site to ensure everything is legally documented. Our team then uses specialized wheel lift removal equipment to clear the space without needing the vehicle keys. It is a fast, professional way to regain control of your parking area while staying within the bounds of local regulations.
A common worry for property managers is whether they will be stuck with the bill for Unauthorized Parking Removal. In almost all cases in Victoria, the financial responsibility lies solely with the vehicle owner or driver who parked illegally. They are required to pay the release fee and any daily vehicle storage costs accrued at the impound lot before they can retrieve their car. You, as the caller, generally pay nothing for the service. This structure ensures that businesses and residents aren’t financially penalized for someone else’s trespass. We operate in strict compliance with the Road Safety Act Victoria, which governs how these fees are handled and collected from the offending party.
While a car blocking a private residential driveway can often be moved immediately, commercial lots and strata complexes in Victoria usually require clear signage to make a tow legally defensible. Effective signage should state that the area is a tow-away zone and provide clear contact information for the impound facility. If you don’t have these signs yet, we can advise you on the specific wording required to meet local standards and act as a proper deterrent. Having these notices visible protects you from potential liability and reduces the chance of a dispute with the driver later.

Once we complete the Unauthorized Parking Removal using flatbed transport or a wheel-lift, the vehicle is taken directly to our secure, licensed impound facility. We never leave a vehicle on a public street; it is stored in a monitored area until the owner claims it. Immediately following the tow, we notify the local police or relevant Victoria transport authorities. This is a vital step because it allows the registered owner to locate their car through official channels when they realize it has been moved. It also prevents the vehicle from being reported as stolen, which saves you from unnecessary police inquiries. The owner must then present valid identification and settle all recovery costs at our lot to have their vehicle released.
Liability is a major concern for property owners, which is why choosing a licensed and insured operator is critical.

Our technicians are trained in damage-free towing techniques, ensuring that even high-end vehicles are moved without scratching the bodywork or damaging the transmission. Because we document the vehicle’s condition before the tow, we provide a clear paper trail that protects you from false damage claims. By hiring a professional crew, you shift the risk away from yourself and ensure the trespasser’s vehicle is handled with the same care as a standard breakdown call.

You should not have to pay for someone else’s trespass. In almost every private property towing scenario, the vehicle owner is responsible for the release fee and vehicle storage costs at the impound lot, not the person who called for the tow.

Owning property in Victoria comes with the constant challenge of managing space, especially during major events like the AFL finals or the Grand Prix. When a stranger decides your private driveway or commercial lot is their personal parking spot, it creates more than just a minor inconvenience. It’s a safety hazard that can block fire lanes, obstruct emergency access, and prevent your actual customers or residents from entering. Professional unauthorized parking removal isn’t about being a nuisance; it’s about maintaining the functional integrity of your land and ensuring that your business can operate without the bottleneck of illegally parked vehicles.
