How to get your car out of impound in Carrollton
If your car got towed in Carrollton, 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 We do not publish a daily City storage figure while sources conflict.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 Carrollton
- 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.

The Riverbend, Oak St, and Maple St bar and restaurant strip runs private-lot towing enforcement most nights of the week, and the neighborhood sits close enough to the Jefferson Parish line to catch real commuter cut-through congestion too. A Carrollton tow, including anything pulled off that strip, follows the City of New Orleans' fee schedule, $228.75 minimum for Light Duty. Any private lot enforcing that must post signage naming the towing company, its address, and phone number in lettering at least two inches high, and hand over an itemized invoice, both required under state law. The oak-lined Carrollton Ave carries the St. Charles streetcar past the Riverbend shopping district, Camellia Grill, and the Maple Leaf Bar, with the streetcar barn area adding its own clearance rules along the avenue. Earhart Blvd marks the boundary toward Jefferson Parish. Release is at the Claiborne Avenue Auto Pound, open 7:30 a.m. to 10 p.m. seven days a week; call (504) 658-8100 first to confirm whether the city ordered the tow. Carrollton's roots run to mixed German and Irish immigrant settlement, alongside a long-standing Black section locally known as Black Pearl.
