Best part about you paying them in pennies is that YOU WILL HAVE TO WAIT FOR THEM TO COUNT EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM! They are paid to be there, whether counting your pennies or not so if I were behind that counter I'd definitely f up the count a few times to keep you there even longer.... Your call ![[Wink]](wink.gif)

We have a winner. Why not just pay them and get over it. They didn't forget to register the car. They just did their job...

the tow rates are set by the police department of the said city. light duty rates then there are med and heavy duty rates. you think 300 or 400 is bad.
san mateo county constantly has stings set up to bust illegal tows. chuck finney is the DA in charge of it. he know who the crooked companies are and who are not. most all of the bad ones are gone now.
you want somthing to cry about try living in a complex tht has robellos as your tow company...... good luck

If they were charging an unlock fee then why not just bring in your keys and unlock it yourself? Most likely that charge was exactly what most are saying, an after hours gate fee. If you go during normal business hours, there would be no charge. Also you would need to obtain a property release from the Sheriff, PD or whatever agency authorized the tow and ONLY if you are the registered owner.
And as far as the paying with pennies, it would be hilarious, however yes they can refuse to accept it.

Actually no they can't refuse it because it's legal tender it would be illeagal to refuse the pennies

can't make someone pay hourly rate if they already paid for that whole day so you would have to just count them pennys

Back when my family and I were living in Concord we got our Toyota stolen. A week later we got a call from the police. The car itself was recovered the same day, but it took them a week to give us a call. I remember my dad went Ape shit on them. Stupid tow companies,nothing but thieves.

That is a youtube video, holds no legal merit, you can find isolated events via internet in any situation. Apple/Mac Corparation does not accept anything but Credit or Debit cards and they are a multi-billion dollar a year company.
Chances are someone that havent paid their past due registration costs and get their car smogged are not going to pursue any legal action from a tow company refusing to accept pennies in payment.
Dont get me wrong, Ive had cars impounded in the past. I do agree paying in pennies would be fukkin hilarious, I know how these tow companies operate and most of them are assholes hiding behind a 1" thick piece of plexi-glass with balls of steel. Take away the glass? Most likely the niceset people you would ever meet!

youtube is not a lawyer.
If I was the cashier at the impound yard I would at best laugh at you and tell you to pound sand. Another option is I'd tell you if you really want to pay with pennies you can go to the bank and pay to have them rolled up into counted coin rolls and come back with those. Then I'd probably push the 'dipshit fee' button on the cash register to add on 2% to the bill.

a girl thought it would be funny to pay me in 1's i made her count out into my hand hand in $20 increments roughly 600.00. i said" musta been a good night at work!" and she drove away in her car even more pissed. go ahead and play games. id tell you my boss wont allow us to accept cash. so visa/master card or certified cashiers check from your bank. tow companies must accept ONLY 2 forms of payment cash doesnt have to be one. you aren't the first person to try and pay with pennies.
