We’ve all been there – typical everyday problems

Daily life is full of situations where illegally parked vehicles disrupt your routine. Employees find their reserved parking spaces occupied in the morning, or you return home to find your driveway blocked. On construction sites, incorrectly parked vehicles delay vital work, while in residential complexes, permanently parked cars obstruct access. Even safety-critical areas, such as fire brigade access routes, are frequently blocked, which can have serious consequences in an emergency. Many people do not know what to do in such moments and turn to the police – but on private property, the police are usually not responsible. This is exactly where we come in, offering you a direct, uncomplicated solution – at no cost to you as the client.

Legal situation regarding illegal parking on private property

Parking spaces that are not designated for public use—such as those marked in white or blue—are considered private property. Unauthorised parking constitutes a trespass and can be prosecuted. It is important to note that the police are generally not responsible for towing vehicles on private land. However, as the owner, tenant, or authorised person, you have the right to have an illegally parked vehicle removed at any time. This also applies to property management companies, security services, or authorised representatives.

Furthermore, unauthorised parking creates a legal claim against the illegal parker. This means that the costs of towing do not have to be borne by you. It is also not your responsibility to locate the vehicle owner; the responsibility lies with the driver to ensure they are informed about parking regulations before they park.

Legally confirmed – official basis

The practice of towing companies assuming the claim against the illegal parker is legally recognised. According to the relevant authorities, it is permissible for these claims to be assigned to a towing company. This allows the company to collect the costs incurred directly from the offender, thereby relieving you, as the client, of the burden. This model ensures a clear, fair, and efficient process—exactly as is required in everyday situations.
