Having your motorcycle taken to the NYPD impound lot is stressful, but the process to get it back is straightforward if you know what steps to take.
Step 1: Collect Your Documents
Bring the following:
- Government-issued ID or driver’s license
- Motorcycle registration
- Proof of insurance
- Title or bill of sale if recently purchased
- Money for towing, storage, and ticket fees
Without these documents, the NYPD won’t release your motorcycle.
Step 2: Find the Correct Impound Lot
Call 311 or check the NYPD website to locate your motorcycle. In Queens, impounded bikes often end up at the College Point Tow Pound.
Step 3: Pay All Required Fees
You’ll need to settle:
- Tow charges
- Daily storage costs
- Any outstanding tickets or violations
Fees can usually be paid with a debit card, credit card, or money order.
Step 4: Decide How to Get It Home
If your motorcycle has damage, a flat tire, or isn’t road-ready, riding it away may not be safe. A professional motorcycle towing service can transport it securely.
