As a result of contracting law requirements and to provide redundancy and additional resources in cases of major storms, the City has transitioned to a rotating towing system as of November 1, 2012. The current towing contractors are: Mile Square Towing in Hoboken, New Jersey Towing in Jersey City, and Johns Main Towing in North Bergen. Vehicles will be towed by each of the three contractors on a rotating business to their respective locations.
The new procedures for retrieving a towed vehicle have been significantly simplified, eliminate multiple back and forth trips between the tow yard and Police Department, and uses a single point of payment. By providing a driver’s license, the registration and insurance information can be retrieved without the need for additional back and forth trips as was previously necessary.
If you believe your vehicle has been towed, please follow the following steps:
Logan Towing
45 Lewis St
Jersey City, NJ
Johns Main Towing
1445 Union Turnpike
North Bergen, N.J. 07047
(201) 861-1654
New Jersey Towing
309 5th Street
Union City, NJ 07087
(201) 348-4642
Any individual may choose to contest a summons and boot/tow with the Hoboken Municipal Court. If a summons is contested in court, then individuals may subsequently request consideration by HPU’s Board of Reviews for a refund. To begin this process, please complete a Tow/Boot Reimbursement form.
