How do you get a car towed from your driveway?

Unfortunately, my house is right by a frat house. When they throw parties, people regularly park in front of our driveway, blocking us in. Is there a way I can get a car of theirs towed?

I can only imagine that living by a frat house is interesting, but having people park in front of your driveway must be incredibly frustrating! The first is yes, you can tow a car from your property if they’re parked there without permission. To do this, you have two options.
One is to contact a
towing company
. The downside is unless you have a sign posted advising that the property was under a roam towing, you’ll have to pay for the tow.
The other, much cheaper option is to call your local police department’s non-emergency line or your city’s parking enforcement. Typically, one of them can come by, help track the owner or tow the car. Since it seems like you live in a busy area, you may be interested in having a more custom insurance policy to protect your car.
To explore your options, consider using
