As a result of contracting law requirements and to provide redundancy and additional resources in cases of major storms, the City transitioned to a rotating towing system back in November of 2012. The current towing contractors are: A & L Auto Body, EZ Towing, John's Main Auto Body, and New Jersey Towing. Vehicles will be towed by each of the 4 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:

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. All completed forms are to be emailed back to dispatch@hobokennj.gov.
