If you're stuck on I-10 near the Sun Bowl exit or on Loop 375 Transmountain, call (915) 615-5465. EPPD handles crashes inside city limits, and towed cars often go to the city lot at 11615 Railroad Drive. A call connects you with an independent local tow operator who quotes and does the work.
What should a driver in El Paso know about getting a tow?
Inside city limits, City Code 12.54.020 caps nonconsent tows at $100 light, $350 medium and $450 heavy duty, plus $25 for dollies. If you're at the scene and the car is hooked but not towed, you pay half. A tow you request yourself is priced by the operator you hire. Call (915) 615-5465.
Cars break down all along I-10, especially in the downtown sunken section where there's almost no shoulder. The Transmountain Road grade over the Franklin Mountains is steep and hard on brakes. Flood-prone spots include Mesa Street, Doniphan Drive, US-54 at Dyer Street, Edemere Boulevard, and Redd Road near Exit 9. Student parking around UTEP on Mesa, Cincinnati, and University generates battery and lockout calls.
Inside city limits, EPPD handles crashes and police-ordered tows. Cars towed by police often go to the city's storage lot at 11615 Railroad Drive, run by UR Vehicle Management Solutions at (915) 212-0205. For a nonconsent tow in the city, Chapter 12.54 caps the fee at $100 light, $350 medium, or $450 heavy, plus up to $25 for dollies. If hooked but not towed, you pay half. A police-ordered tow to the city lot adds a $20 police fee and a $20 impoundment fee. In unincorporated county, the Sheriff's office handles tows through its Evidence & Abandoned Motor Vehicle Section. In New Mexico, different rules apply and no dollar figure is published.
Tell the operator your exact location, direction, and exit number. Say if the car is in traffic lanes or moving water. Mention if it's on a bridge approach, where queues in desert heat can be long. If you're near Fort Bliss, say whether you're on post or off. For a stored car, bring photo ID and proof of ownership, and call the lot first.
What can a tow you did not ask for cost here?
This part of the metro sits inside El Paso city limits, so City Code Section 12.54.020 sets the most a tow company may charge for a nonconsent tow, whatever truck it uses. That covers police-ordered tows, crash scenes and private-property tows.
A tow you call for yourself is different: the operator you hire quotes it, so get the full price before anyone hooks up.
Charged more than the cap? Ask for an itemized bill. Need a tow you are requesting yourself? Call (915) 615-5465.
