2006 New York Code - Rates.

 
    §  20-509  Rates.    a.  Except as otherwise provided, charges for the
  towing of vehicles shall not exceed fifty dollars for the first mile  or
  fraction  thereof  and four dollars for each additional mile or fraction
  thereof; provided, however, that where a motor vehicle has  been  booted
  by  a  person  licensed  pursuant  to subchapter 32 of this chapter in a
  private parking lot as defined  in  paragraph  3  of  subdivision  b  of
  section  20-531  of  such  subchapter  and  such vehicle is subsequently
  towed, no additional charge may  be  imposed  for  the  towing  of  such
  vehicle.
    b. Except as otherwise provided, charges for storage of vehicles shall
  not  exceed  fifteen  dollars  for  each  twenty-four  hours or fraction
  thereof for the first three days of storage and  seventeen  dollars  for
  the fourth day of storage and each day thereafter.
    c.  The  commissioner  may, by rule, authorize such additional charges
  for services necessary to prepare a vehicle for  towing,  including  but
  not  limited to charges for additional labor necessary for positioning a
  vehicle for towing, which in the judgment of the commissioner  shall  be
  fair   and   reasonable.   In  promulgating  a  rule  pursuant  to  this
  subdivision, the commissioner shall consult with the tow advisory board.
    d. (1) No tow truck operator shall require the payment of any  fee  or
  charge  for  towing  and  storage  of  a  vehicle,  or any fee or charge
  directly or indirectly related to towing and storage of a vehicle,  that
  is not specifically authorized by law or rule.
    (2) No charge for the towing and storage of vehicles may be imposed by
  any  person  who does not have a license to engage in towing as required
  by this subchapter at the time that the towing and storage services  are
  performed.
