Understanding Towing Costs: What Factors Determine Your Bill

Distance and Location Impact

The most significant factor in towing costs is distance. Most companies charge a base fee for the first few miles, then add a per-mile rate for additional distance. Location also matters - towing from busy highways or difficult-to-access areas may require specialized equipment and additional safety measures.

Time of service affects pricing too. Emergency calls during nights, weekends, or holidays typically cost more due to increased operational demands and the need for immediate response.

Vehicle Type and Towing Method

Your vehicle's size, weight, and condition determine which towing method is required. Standard wheel-lift towing costs less than flatbed service, but luxury vehicles, all-wheel-drive cars, and damaged vehicles often require flatbed transport for safety.

Heavy-duty trucks, RVs, and commercial vehicles require specialized equipment and trained operators, which increases costs but ensures your valuable asset is handled properly.
