Tremont Towing Inc FL 33139

I had an unpleasant interaction as a pedestrian with one of this company’s drivers at the roundabout crosswalk outside The Miami Beach EDITION. I had already entered the crosswalk heading toward the beach when the driver, who was exiting the hotel parking lot, stopped and yelled at me, calling me “stupid” for not stopping and letting him enter the roundabout first. When I turned around and took photos of the truck, he rolled down his window again and sarcastically asked if I wanted his autograph but refused to provide his name. I called the company to report the interaction, but the person who said she was the manager did not handle the complaint professionally and responded sarcastically before ending the call. This behavior was surprising and unprofessional, especially from a driver operating a company vehicle in a high-pedestrian area used by people walking to the beach.

TOTAL EXTORTION: The 200 South Pointe Dr. Towing Trap If I could give this "business" TREMONT TOWING negative stars, I would. This isn't a towing service; it’s a legalized car-theft ring operating in broad daylight with the blessing of the City of Miami Beach and the silence of Catch Miami Beach. The Scam Breakdown: • The Setup: I am a local Miami Beach resident (33139). I parked in a MUNICIPAL spot at 4:00 PM and PAID the City of Miami Beach for my parking session. • The Snatch: By 6:40 PM—less than three hours later—this towing company had already swooped in and hauled my car away. • The Trap: There is zero visible signage at this location describing the length of parking allowed or the immediate, aggressive repercussions for staying. It is a "Gotcha" system designed to prey on residents and diners. Complicity at Every Level: 1. Tremont Towing Company: Predators who sit in the shadows waiting for a timer to hit zero so they can hold your property for ransom. Their "business model" is based on deception and lack of transparency. 2. Catch Miami Beach: A "luxury" restaurant that watches its guests’ cars get snatched from their front door and does absolutely nothing to warn them. They are happy to take your money for dinner while you’re being robbed outside. 3. The City of Miami Beach: As a local taxpayer, I am disgusted. The City fails to provide proper signage so residents can actually follow the law. Instead, they’ve turned South Pointe into a hunting ground for towing companies. The Verdict: Avoid parking anywhere near 200 South Pointe Dr. This towing company is part of a coordinated extortion scheme. They don't provide a service; they exploit a lack of signage to fill their pockets at the expense of law-abiding residents. SHAME ON TREMONT TOWING COMPANY, SHAME ON CATCH, AND SHAME ON THE CITY OF MIAMI BEACH.

This was my second time to Miami Beach to visit a friend. Apparently there was some sort of celebration going on in the parking lots were charging $100 for a few hours to park. I had found a vacant spot but unfortunately there was a tollway zone sign that I could not see from my car and it was not visibly posted. My car was towed because it was reported as being parked in a tow away zone. Regardless my car was towed 1-3/4 Miles. The final bill was $425. Highway robbery. The city of Miami should be ashamed of itself and so should this company. Not only did they not take credit cards but I had to use their own ATM which charged me for using my credit card. And because the credit limit on the machine was only $400 I was charged twice to get the remaining cash for using the credit card. Because it appears that the city of Miami does not care about their visitors by allowing such outrageous costs to be permitted I certainly will make sure my other friends are aware of this problem and I definitely will not be coming back to Miami Beach anytime soon. I wish the sinking of the city should move quicker than it already is.
