AI Overview In North Carolina, a junkyard or towing company generally cannot legally charge a fee to retrieve personal property from a vehicle during normal business hours. While storage fees apply to the vehicle itself, towing operators must allow owners access to retrieve personal items (like bags, electronics, or personal documents) from a towed vehicle without charging a "gate fee" or "retrieval fee". Key details regarding this issue in North Carolina: Access Rights: Towing companies must permit the vehicle owner or their designee to retrieve personal property, as established in local ordinance laws. Timing: This access must be provided during normal business hours. Fees: While fees may be charged for releasing the vehicle itself, charging just to access and remove personal belongings is typically considered predatory. Exceptions: A gate fee may only be permissible if you are retrieving the vehicle or items outside of normal business hours, on weekends, or on holidays. If a yard insists on a fee to retrieve personal items during business hours, you may want to report them to local law enforcement or the North Carolina Department of Justice.
