Business ProfileforMarquis Towing, LLC

My son is a freshman at ******** and was visiting a friend last night that lives in freshman housing at the quarters apartment complex. Marquis towing has a signed contract with this apartment complex. There are visible signs saying that if you dont live at the quarters, you could potentially be towed with $150 towing fee. My son was in the wrong and didnt realize that he needed to have a visitors pass in his car and his car was towed on a Monday night when trying to get his car back he was quoted that it would cost $375 to get the car back, I called the towing company to verify this and they told me that this was the average rate of towing in ******, ***********, and that I could pay over the phone with a credit card and send them a picture of my drivers license because my son had no way to pay the towing fee because his bank card had been stolen and he was waiting for a new one to arrive. I told Marquis towing that I needed to verify this was OK with my husband first. This, of course had me curious to know if this was actually the going rate for towing fees, so I called ******* towing, ******** towing and university police department and they all said the average towing is $200 possibly going up to $250 if it was a difficult tow say in a parking garage in a tight space and took a long time. I tried calling the office of the quarters apartment complex and spoke with somebody that said she was a manager and she said shes received several complaints from other parents about Marquis towing. I was also told when I called ******** towing and ******* towing that they constantly hear complaints about Marquis towing as well. I feel that Marquis towing is taking advantage of the university students and parents and charging double.
