Why car lockout pricing costs what it does in Mount Prospect

Northwestern's campus in Evanston turns over every September with students who have never parked here before, and airport and casino parking in Des Plaines and Schiller Park adds the traveller version of the same call. Both come down to opening a modern frameless window without damaging it.

Rand Road is lined with strip retail for its entire run through the village, which makes it the local private-property corridor, and the Metra commuter lots collect vehicles that sit long enough to become a dead battery or an overstay.

Local context

How we work Mount Prospect

Mount Prospect holds 56,852 residents with a median household income of $84,353 and a median family income of $103,946. It sits about twenty miles northwest of downtown Chicago and roughly four miles north of O'Hare, split between Elk Grove and Wheeling townships. Rand Road, which is US 12, is the spine, joined by Golf Road, Northwest Highway and Elmhurst Road, and the Mount Prospect station carries Metra Union Pacific Northwest service. Two things drive tow volume here and neither one is dramatic. Rand Road is lined with strip retail for its entire run through the village, which means shared lots, tenant parking rules and the unauthorized-parking relocations that go with them. And the Metra commuter lots collect vehicles that sit overnight, or over a weekend, or over a two-week vacation, which is exactly how a dead battery becomes a tow. Because Mount Prospect is in Cook County, a private-property tow here is done by a relocator licensed by the Illinois Commerce Commission, and state law caps how far the vehicle can be taken: no more than ten air miles from where it was parked. Operators cover Rand Road, the Metra station lots and the Golf Road corridor.
