How to Report Abandoned Vehicles

Call police dispatch at (808) 935-3311 and ask to report an abandoned vehicle. 

Have the following information ready:

  • Specific location of the vehicle
  • License plate and VIN, if available
  • Make, type and color of the vehicle
  • How long the vehicle has been at this location

 What happens after you report? 
  • A police officer will attach a 24-hour removal notice to the vehicle.
  • Once the police report is received, the DAV Section will review the report, inspect the vehicle, and request tow services.
  • To check the status of an abandoned vehicle, call the HPD Traffic Services Section at 808-961-2227. 

Your report assists us in quickly locating suspected abandoned vehicles, initiating the required investigation, and removing these vehicles from streets, municipal parking lots, parks, and beaches.
