Abstract
A method and system for geofencing of vehicle impound yards. One or more geofences around impound yards are selected. The one or more geofences are associated with one or more vehicles. When a vehicle enters the geofenced area, a user (e.g., an individual, car dealer, finance company, etc.) is immediately notified to prevent excessive impound financial charges. If a vehicle is left in a geofence area, a cumulative time duration and a cumulative finance charge are accurately recorded to reduce or prevent financial fraud.
