Car towed — Savivaldybė · Lithuania

Direct answer

A towed car is at the municipal pound: call Savivaldybė — viešosios tvarkos skyrius (lsa.lt) with your plate to confirm and to hear the fee and the opening hours; bring ID, the registration document and a means of payment, and expect a daily storage charge, so go today. If nobody knows where the car is, it may have been stolen — Policija — pranešimas (112). If you think the towing was unjustified (no sign, sign obscured, works started after you parked), pay under protest, photograph the spot, and object; Seimo kontrolieriai (8 706 65 105) handles complaints about the municipality when the objection is ignored.

❓ Frequently asked

Can they tow for an ordinary parking offence?

Rules vary: some cities tow only when the car obstructs; others tow for any offence in certain zones. The sign at the spot is decisive.

They damaged the car while towing

Note it before you leave the pound, photograph, and claim from the municipality or the towing company in writing.

Temporary no-parking signs appeared after I parked

Most countries require signs to be up for a minimum period (often 24–72 hours) before towing. Ask the municipality for the date the sign was placed.
