How to get your car out of impound in Broadmoor
If your car got towed in Broadmoor, here's how to get it back fast, including where it likely went and what you'll owe.
What Louisiana law says
New Orleans runs its own city pound instead of relying on a scattered network of private storage lots. The City directs impound payments to 400 N. Claiborne Ave, even when a vehicle is stored at 10200 Almonaster Ave. Vehicles held longer than 24 hours may be moved to Almonaster. Confirm the pickup location with the City before traveling. The payment office at Claiborne is listed as open 7:30 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily; confirm same-day hours. Call (504) 658-8100 to confirm your car was towed, or (504) 658-8284 to check the fee balance tied to your plate. As of July 27, 2026, tow and storage fees run on a new schedule: a Light Duty tow starts at $228.75 for the first 90 minutes, then $76.25 per additional half-hour. Confirm daily storage with the City. We do not publish a daily City storage figure while sources conflict. Any parking citations 90 or more days old have to be paid off too before the car's released. Quick Tow New Orleans is a private tow company, not the city pound. We can't waive fees the city sets, but we can help with transport once your car's released.
How it works in Broadmoor
- 1 Find out where your car went
Call (504) 658-8100 to confirm your car was towed to the Claiborne Avenue Auto Pound. Outside Orleans Parish, call the local parish sheriff's office instead.
- 2 Go to the right lot
The City directs impound payments to 400 N. Claiborne Ave, even when a vehicle is stored at 10200 Almonaster Ave. Vehicles held longer than 24 hours may be moved to Almonaster. Confirm the pickup location with the City before traveling.
- 3 Check the hours before you drive over
Claiborne's vehicle-release window runs 7:30 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily. The Cashiering Office at the same address, for tickets and boots only, runs 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. weekdays, so confirm which one you need by phone first.
- 4 Confirm your balance
Call (504) 658-8284 to check the fee tied to your plate, and clear any parking citations 90 or more days old, since those have to be paid before release too.
- 5 Pay the pound directly
Quick Tow New Orleans doesn't set or collect the city's impound fees. You pay the pound, not us.
- 6 Retrieve your vehicle
Bring valid ID and be ready to pay the full balance. Most releases happen the same day once you're there during release hours.

Broadmoor is the textbook New Orleans flood-bowl neighborhood: a hard summer thunderstorm puts standing water in the streets fast enough to strand commuters on their way home, and the narrow shotgun-house grid slows how quickly a standard truck can reach a stalled car once the water recedes. The neighborhood sits at roughly 2 feet elevation in a natural bowl that stayed undeveloped until early-20th-century drainage work made it buildable, and it took hits in both the 1995 Louisiana flood and Hurricane Katrina. Broadmoor sits in Orleans Parish, so a tow here follows the City of New Orleans' fee schedule, the same $228.75-minimum rate citywide. South Claiborne Ave runs as the direct connector from downtown into Jefferson Parish, with Washington Ave/Toledano St and Eve St as secondary routes past Andrew Wilson Elementary and the Rosa F. Keller Library. Release happens at the Claiborne Avenue Auto Pound, 400 N. Claiborne Ave, 7:30 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily; call (504) 658-8100 to confirm a city tow or (504) 658-8284 for a fee balance. The neighborhood is 61.1% Black or African American and 6.7% Hispanic or Latino, per the 2010 Census.
