How to Contact the Other Car Owner to Move Their Vehicle?
2 Answers
There are several methods to contact the car owner for moving their vehicle: 1. First, check if the owner has left a contact number for moving the car inside the vehicle. Some owners might have urgent matters and usually, considerate drivers will leave their mobile number and answer promptly. Since they left their number, they would have considered the situation of obstructing others. 2. If no number is left, then call the assistance hotline. Previously, moving a car involved calling 110, but now 114 handles all aspects of vehicle moving. Follow the voice prompts, and the customer service will help you contact the owner. 3. Sometimes, 114 car moving service is prompt, but if the owner is unreasonable, there’s little they can do as they only notify the owner. In such cases, you can report to the police, who will communicate with the owner immediately. If the owner remains unreasonable, a tow truck will be called to resolve the issue. 4. If the car is parked in front of the same store and your vehicle is blocked, you can ask the store staff to announce the license plate of the blocking car. If the owner is inside the store, they will come to move the car immediately.
Last time my car was blocked, it took a lot of effort to resolve. First, I habitually checked if there was a small note with a phone number on the other car's windshield or driver's side window. Many car owners leave a 'Please Move' card with their number, so you can just call directly. If I couldn't find one, I would use a car-moving app on my phone, like the features in Gaode or WeChat, where you input the license plate number, take a photo, and upload it, and the system sends a text to notify the owner to move their car. If that still didn’t work, I’d contact the property security, like in a residential parking lot, where they can check records to reach the owner. In a real emergency, I’d call the police to explain the situation. I’ve gone through this process several times, so I recommend always keeping your 'Please Move' card handy—it’s convenient for others and saves trouble, rather than scrambling at the last minute.
