- your driver licence has been suspended or revoked
- you don't hold (or have never held) a driver licence or your licence has expired, and you have been forbidden to drive by a police officer until you have a new or renewed licence
- you have to reinstate your licence and have been forbidden to drive by a police officer until you do
- you commit a drink-drive offence and have two previous drink-drive convictions in the last four years
- if the vehicle is used by a transport service operator:
- who has been disqualified from holding or getting a transport service licence
- whose transport service licence has been suspended or revoked
- who does not (or has never) held a transport service licence and has previously been forbidden to operate the service.
Your vehicle can also be impounded if:
- you're caught racing (eg drag racing)
- you're caught performing street car stunts (eg wheel spins)
- you've broken a bylaw that prohibits cruising

Vehicle Retrieval
If your vehicle has been impounded, we are here to help you efficiently recover it. Our team is available Monday to Friday from 8.30 am to 4.00 pm to guide you through the process. We will provide all the necessary information and paperwork to make it a hassle-free experience.
Please remember to bring one form of photo ID (New Zealand Driver’s License or Passport) when collecting your vehicle. Kindly note that we must have the required ID that meets New Zealand Police standards before releasing the vehicle. Additionally, please be aware that the vehicle will only be released to the registered owner. If there has been a change in ownership while the vehicle was impounded, we need confirmation from the owner at the time of impoundment before the vehicle can be collected.
Impound Lot Fees
Impound fees are set by the current New Zealand legislation. Every vehicle tow is different depending on the size of the vehicle, the impound location and the time of day. The team at Supreme Towing Limited aim to notify the registered owner, as per NZTA database, by letter within 14 days of the impoundment date.
