How to Retrieve Your Vehicle from the Heras Municipal Impound: Downloadable Authorization Template

Finding your vehicle missing from where you parked it in Heras can be a stressful experience. If your car has been towed by the municipal crane (Grúa Municipal), you need to follow specific administrative steps to reclaim it. This guide provides you with a ready-to-use authorization template, which is essential if the registered owner of the vehicle cannot be the one to physically collect it from the impound lot.

Instructions on how and where to submit it in Heras

To retrieve a vehicle towed in Heras, you must first verify the location of the municipal depot. Generally, you will need to head to the local police station or the specific municipal traffic office (Oficina de Tráfico/Depósito Municipal) to pay the corresponding towing and storage fees. If you are not the registered owner, you must present a signed authorization letter along with the required identification documents. You should print this template, fill in the blanks clearly, and ensure the owner signs it exactly as it appears on their national ID (DNI) or NIE.

Additional documentation required

Beyond the authorization letter, the person collecting the vehicle must carry the following documents to ensure the release is processed without delays:

Original DNI, NIE, or Passport of the authorized person.
A photocopy of the DNI, NIE, or Passport of the registered owner who signed the authorization.
The original vehicle registration document (Permiso de Circulación) or a certified copy.
Proof of valid insurance (Recibo del seguro) for the vehicle.
Proof of payment for the towing and storage fees (usually provided at the office after payment is processed).

Expert Tip: Always try to arrive at the municipal depot during standard morning business hours. If you are retrieving the car outside of normal hours, check the specific 24-hour contact number for the Heras municipal crane service to ensure staff is on-site. Furthermore, check the vehicle carefully for any new scratches or damage before signing the "conformidad" (receipt) document, as once you sign and leave the depot, it is significantly harder to claim damages against the towing service.
