Changes to Towing Costs for Evacuated Vehicles in Kyiv Starting April 15
Beginning April 15, 2026, the cost of towing evacuated vehicles in Kyiv will increase due to rising fuel prices, as announced by the Kyiv City State Administration.
In the capital of Ukraine, Kyiv, an increase in the cost of transporting evacuated vehicles is set to take effect on April 15, 2026. This decision comes in response to the rising fuel prices, as reported by the press service of the Kyiv City State Administration. According to the new tariffs, the minimum cost for transporting a temporarily detained vehicle will be 1,680 hryvnias.
Konstantin Usov, Deputy Head of the Kyiv City State Administration responsible for self-government powers, noted that the tariffs for transportation services are not state-regulated; therefore, they are established directly by the companies engaged in evacuation. This means that private carriers have the right to independently determine the cost of their services based on market conditions.
The new tariff, which will be implemented by private operators, will correspond to the fee for transporting vehicles with a gross weight not exceeding 2,000 kg, in cases where the evacuation is carried out by the National Police of Ukraine. This indicates that the new tariffs will be adapted to existing market conditions and user needs.
It is important to note that even after the introduction of the new tariffs, the cost of vehicle evacuation in Kyiv will remain one of the lowest among major cities in Ukraine. For instance, in Dnipro, evacuation prices will range from 2,110 to 2,410 hryvnias, while in Lviv, they will vary from 1,862 to 2,638 hryvnias. This demonstrates that the city authorities are striving to maintain the accessibility of services for drivers despite rising costs.
Vehicle evacuation is a crucial element in ensuring road safety. It is primarily used in cases where improperly parked cars obstruct public transport, emergency services, or block exits from courtyards. This is an exceptional measure aimed at maintaining order on the roads and ensuring the safety of all road users.
According to the Kyiv City Parking Inspection, nearly 400,000 cases of violations of stopping, parking, and parking rules were recorded in 2025. At the same time, on average, only one vehicle was evacuated for every eight cars that faced responsive measures. This indicates that despite numerous violations, vehicle evacuation remains a necessary but extremely limited measure, applied only when it is truly essential for ensuring road safety.
