Which license allows a tow operator to tow only consent tows?

Private property license
Consent tow license
Incident management license
Public property license

The correct answer is: Consent tow license

A consent tow license is specifically designed for tow operators to engage in towing vehicles with the consent of the vehicle owner. This type of license is crucial for ensuring that towing services operate within legal parameters, prioritizing the rights of vehicle owners to decide when their vehicles can be towed. By having this license, operators can perform non-emergency tows, which commonly occur when a vehicle owner requests assistance or permits the tow for reasons such as moving a vehicle from a private property or needing help during a breakdown. This aspect distinguishes it from other types of towing licenses that may cover non-consensual towing situations, such as tows initiated without the owner's permission. The other licenses listed would permit broader towing operations, including situations where consent is not given, making the consent tow license appropriate specifically for those towing scenarios where the operator must have the vehicle owner's agreement. This alignment with ethical and legal standards is a key reason why this license is important for those in the towing industry.
