Cut inbound calls. Notify owners automatically.
Log a tow and ClearLot notifies the vehicle owner the moment you enter the record. Owners get lot address and release info without calling dispatch.
Identity-verified owner lookup. Lot address and release info in under 60 seconds.
Two sides. One network.
ClearLot connects the people who tow with the people who search.
- Enter each towed vehicle once. Owners find it themselves.
- Automated email to the owner the moment you enter their record.
- Timestamped impound log — dispute-proof documentation built in.
- Search by license plate, any state. No account needed.
- Find the yard's name, address, and direct phone number.
- No third-party calls, no hold times. Straight to the yard.
How it works for operators
Three steps to cut your inbound call volume. Most yards see results in the first week.
Create your yard profile
Enter your name, address, and hours. Takes five minutes. Your yard goes live on the network immediately.
Enter each towed vehicle
License plate, make, model, date. That is the whole form. ClearLot emails the owner automatically the moment you save.
Owners find it themselves
They search by plate on ClearLot, see your yard's address and phone, and call you ready to pick up. No dispatcher involved.
Every tool your yard needs
One platform. Lookup, notifications, documentation, and compliance.
Automated notifications
Owner gets an email the moment their vehicle record is entered. No manual step.
Free for vehicle owners. Identity verification required. No account needed.
Dispute-proof log
Every entry carries a timestamp and the notification sent. One pull and the conversation is over.
Bulk upload API
Push records from your dispatch system automatically. No manual entry at all. Premium plan.
DPPA-compliant
Built for the 'notice to owner' permissible use. Your records stay yours. No open unscoped lookups.
Two types of users. One clear model.
Tow companies subscribe for full record access. Vehicle owners search for free with identity verification.
Authenticated B2B access. Signed permissible-purpose attestation required. Full record access: plate, VIN, pickup address, all lot details. Paid monthly subscription.
Free identity-verified self-lookup. No account required. Returns: lot name, address, phone, release fee, and pickup status. Plate, VIN, and pickup address are withheld for privacy.

30 calls × 10 min × $20/hr. Repeats every single day.
Network Subscription at $149/month. Owners find their own cars.
Based on 30 calls/day at $20/hr, compared to ClearLot Network at $149/month.
Built with DPPA in mind.
We are not lawyers and this is not legal advice. Here is how the system works.
Built for the DPPA 'notice to owner' use
The Driver's Privacy Protection Act permits vehicle record lookups when the purpose is to provide notice to the vehicle's owner. ClearLot operates only under this permissible use.
No open, unscoped lookups
Owners verify they are searching for their own vehicle. There are no batch queries, no open API endpoints, and no bulk resale of records.
Your records, your control
You enter records. You can edit or remove them. ClearLot does not share your yard's data with third parties or use it for advertising.
Your yard. On the network.
