How to check to see if your vehicle has been towed in France
"If your vehicle is missing, the first step is to check if it has been towed. Here's how to do so online in France. If you find that your car is missing, before filing a police report, you might want to check to see if it has been towed. Helpfully, the French government has a dedicated online service via the Service-Public website that allows you to do just that."
"The first step is to enter your vehicle's registration number into the search engine, add the security code and then check whether your vehicle is en fourrie8re (impounded). As with many things, Paris has its own system, so if you were parked in Paris, you would use a different platform - found here. The search functions work with foreign plates including UK and EU-registered cars, although if the system is having difficulty recognising a foreign plate,"
"If your vehicle has been towed by a registered company, it will appear on the site with details of where it is being held and the opening hours of the impound lot. If your vehicle is not listed as impounded, it may still be in the process of being towed, in which case it should appear on the system within a few hours - towing services have a maximum period of 40 hours to update the details."
Check the Service-Public website by entering the vehicle's registration number and the security code to see if a vehicle is en fourrière (impounded). Paris uses a separate platform for towed vehicles. The search accepts foreign plates, including UK and EU registrations, though removing spaces or hyphens may help recognition. Towed vehicles by registered companies appear with impound location and opening hours. If not listed, the vehicle may still be in transit; towing services have up to 40 hours to update the system. Retrieval requires an autorisation de sortie de fourrière, obtainable online or from the police, and payment of towing fees; bring licence, registration and insurance.
