A vehicle that can notify a user that is being towed is provided. The vehicle may also assist with preventing towing and suggesting alternative parking locations that are not subject to towing. The vehicle determines its current location and based on that it may receive towing statistics data for the current location or may have that data integrated into the vehicle. The towing statistics data may include information about a frequency of towing at the current location. If the frequency of the towing exceeds a threshold, the vehicle may output a notification indicating that the current location is not recommended for parking. Additionally, the vehicle may use that same towing statistics data to determine alternative locations that are not subject to towing and suggests those locations for parking the vehicle.
