GENERAL FAQ’S

Booting

What is vehicle booting? Vehicle booting has long been a tool of last resort in the collection of unpaid parking citations. A traditional boot is a large heavy metal device that clamps onto one of the wheels of a vehicle with the intent of preventing the vehicle from driving away.

If you owe more than $350 in parking, speed camera, red light camera or bus lane violation tickets in judgment and you are parked on a public street, you may have a boot attached to your vehicle. To get the boot off, call the toll-free phone number on the boot notice (646-517-1000) and give the customer service representative your debit/credit card number. You will then receive a release code. Once you enter the code, the boot will unlock and you can remove it. You need to return the boot to a return location near you within 24 hours.

The boot is painted green to make it visible. You will also see a notice on the driver’s side window and under the windshield wiper that tells you your vehicle has been booted.
Customer service representatives will provide you with a release code after you pay the judgment debt and fees. You unlock the boot by entering the code into a keypad that is on the boot. After you enter the code, the boot releases and you can remove the boot.
You can pay with a debit/credit card or electronic check. You may also pay with a gift card if it has a credit card logo. If you pay with a gift card, you must also provide a valid credit card number to remove the boot yourself. If you don’t have a valid credit card you will be listed for an assisted release; this means that a representative will be dispatched within 2-4 hours of your payment to remove the boot for you.
