How much does it cost to get a car out of impound in Guadalupe?
A plain-English guide to impound and storage costs in Guadalupe: the state administrative fee, daily storage, the paperwork you need, and how to get your car back for less.
Why impound & storage fees costs what it does in Guadalupe
Maryvale, South Phoenix, Laveen, Estrella, and Guadalupe are Phoenix, so a police impound runs the $150 state administrative fee (ARS 28-3513(B)) to Phoenix PD, with storage at $25 a day on an ARS 28-3511 impound or $15 a day on a City Code 23-55 impound. The hold is 20 days. Phoenix runs no single city lot; the car sits at an assigned zone-contract yard. Pay the fee at 100 W. Washington St., get a release form, then pay tow and storage at the yard.
Guadalupe is its own incorporated town, not part of Phoenix, so the Phoenix 36-6 private-property cap does not apply here; the town that governs the lot sets the maximum. Guadalupe contracts its law enforcement to the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office, so a police-ordered impound is handled by the Maricopa County Sheriff's Office under the same state framework. The 150-dollar state administrative fee (ARS 28-3513(B)) applies on a 20-day hold under ARS 28-3511, with storage generally at the state cap of 25 dollars a day, but the assigned yard, the release counter and the hearing location vary, so call the agency that ordered the tow rather than assume an address. A private-property tow is separate: Arizona sets no statewide cap, the local jurisdiction may set the maximum rate, and the lot must be posted with a compliant sign giving the restriction, the maximum cost and a number and address where the car can be found.
How we work Guadalupe
Guadalupe is a one-square-mile incorporated town wedged between Tempe and I-10, with 5,322 residents, and it is 74.5 percent Hispanic with a large Yaqui community, its own motto naming three cultures. That makes it one of the highest Spanish-language demand places per capita in the metro, so the Spanish version of this site leads here, a message left in Spanish is read in Spanish, and the Yaqui community is part of who this page speaks to. The town sits against the I-10 Maricopa Freeway on its west edge with US 60, the Superstition Freeway, just north, so freeway crash spillover is constant in a county that logged 88,094 crashes in 2024. Baseline Road, Avenida del Yaqui and Priest Drive carry the local traffic. The older working-class fleet feels the heat first, and 2023 brought 133 days at or above 100 degrees in the metro, which turns into a steady stream of dead batteries and no-starts. The dense small-town streets and the freeway interchanges frame the work. Our Lady of Guadalupe, the Yaqui Temple grounds and the Guadalupe Mercado anchor the town. On a private-property tow, the Phoenix cap does not apply in this separate town, so the city that governs the lot sets the maximum. The pros we send cover the I-10 and US 60 interchanges and the town streets.

Common Guadalupe cost questions
How much does it cost to get my car out of impound in Guadalupe?
If Phoenix police impounded it, the fees are set by law. A $150 state administrative fee (ARS 28-3513(B)) is paid to Phoenix PD by cash, cashier's check or money order, and storage runs at the state cap of $25 a day on an ARS 28-3511 impound, or $15 a day on a City Code 23-55 impound. The mandatory hold is 20 days, not 30. Phoenix runs no single city lot, so the car sits at an assigned zone-contract tow yard. Pay the $150 fee at 100 W. Washington St. to get a release form, then pay the tow and storage at the yard.
What do I need to get my impounded car back in Guadalupe?
Bring a valid driver license, current proof of insurance (financial responsibility), current vehicle registration, and the impound notice. If an ignition interlock is required, bring proof it is installed. Pay the $150 state administrative fee to the police to get the release form, and if you are acting for the owner, bring proof of your authority. The department that ordered the tow sets the exact list, so ask when you call.
How long can they hold my car, and what if I wait in Guadalupe?
A police impound in Arizona runs a mandatory 20-day hold under ARS 28-3511, 7 days for the human-smuggling subsection. To contest it or seek early release, request a post-storage hearing within 10 days of the notice; it is held within 5 business days of the agency receiving the request (ARS 28-3514). Storage accrues at $25 a day the whole time, so calling early costs less than calling late. If the car is never claimed, it can be sold and you still owe the fees.

What we can do is help you work out who has it and what the process is, and line up an operator to move it once it's released. Call (480) 526-9384.
