Question

My car was towed by an apartment complex. Will State Farm reimburse me for the towing cost?

My car was towed by an apartment complex when I was visiting. It was not roadside assistance towing, but is there any possibility I can be reimbursed?

Roadside assistance covers towing but it won't cover your car being towed by someone else. Unfortunately, that means State Farm will likely not cover the cost of your car being towed from just being parked in the wrong location in an apartment complex.

Sorry for the inconvenience. If you have any other questions, don't hesitate to ask.
