How a Private Property Towing Agreement Protects Your Property

Hello there, I’m the owner of Freeway Towing, proudly serving El Cajon and the greater San Diego area. If you’re a property owner or manager, I’m sure you’ve dealt with this problem before — strangers using your lot like it’s their own personal parking space. Whether you manage a shopping plaza, run an apartment complex, oversee an HOA community, or simply own a home with a private driveway, illegal parking is a serious and frustrating issue around here. Unfortunately, if it's not handled the right way — and quickly — it can spiral into a bigger, ongoing problem.

I’ve seen it all: cars left for days, people blocking access, and vehicles dumped on private property with no warning or permission. It’s not just annoying — it’s a liability, and it can make your property look neglected or unprofessional. Even worse, if you try to handle it on your own without following the legal process, you could end up in trouble.

That’s exactly why I want to talk to you about something incredibly important — and honestly, something every property owner in San Diego should have in place: a Private Property Towing Agreement.

Why Property Owners in San Diego Need Towing Agreements

Let’s be honest — people park where they shouldn’t all the time. Maybe they think no one will notice. Maybe they just don’t care. But as a property owner or manager, you’re the one stuck dealing with the mess.

Here’s how a towing agreement helps:

Stop Illegal Parking

We help you legally remove vehicles that don’t belong — no more blocked driveways, stolen parking spaces, or unauthorized cars in your lot.

Keep Your Property Clean and Safe

When junk cars or random vehicles sit around, it makes your property look neglected. Towing keeps it clean, safe, and professional-looking.

Avoid Dangerous Situations

Some drivers get angry when confronted. You shouldn’t have to deal with that. We take care of it for you, following all laws and keeping things calm.

Get Fast, Legal Tows

Without an agreement, you often have to wait for police involvement. With one, we can act fast — and legally.

Peace of Mind

Whether you manage apartments, a business plaza, or a condo community, having us on call means one less thing for you to worry about.

We’ve worked with hundreds of San Diego landlords, HOAs, and business owners. Once they set up their towing agreement with us, they always say the same thing: “I wish I’d done this sooner.”

What Is a Private Property Towing Agreement?

A Private Property Towing Agreement is a written contract between you (the property owner or manager) and us (Freeway Towing). It gives us permission to remove vehicles from your property if they’re parked illegally or without permission.

Here’s what you get with it:

• Full legal permission to tow unauthorized vehicles
• Compliance with San Diego towing laws and California Vehicle Code 22658
• Free towing signs posted at every entrance (required by law)
• Fast removal of any cars that violate your rules
• Peace of mind that everything is being done by the book

You’re not just getting a tow truck — you’re getting protection and legal backup.

And guess what? It costs you nothing. That’s right. The vehicle owner pays all tow and storage fees. You get a cleaner, safer property at no charge.
