Tow Truck Drivers Charges

[vintagelace]

What is the name of your state?My car was towed from a private parking lot in Los Angeles County, California. Are there any regulations to the amount the tow truck driver can charge? I was charged $180 for six hours when my car was towed away? Doesn't the tow truck drivers have to charge the same amount that the city would charge if my car was towed by the police?

(i) (1) A charge for towing or storage, or both, of a vehicle under this section is excessive if the charge is greater than that which would have been charged for towing or storage, or both, made at the request of a law enforcement agency under an agreement between the law enforcement agency and a towing company in the city or county in which is located the private property from which the vehicle was, or was attempted to be, removed.
