What it costs
Most towing companies will not tell you a price until a truck is already on its way. Here is ours, in full, before you call anyone. You also see the exact figure for your own job — worked out from the real distance — before you confirm it.
| Service | Price |
|---|---|
| Towing | $125plus $7 a mile |
| Dead battery | $75 |
| Flat tire | $100 |
| Locked out | $75 |
| Stuck off the roadStarting price — the driver confirms the rest on scene, before any work begins | from $150 |
What can be added on top
All of it, listed. Anything that applies to your job appears as its own line on your estimate before you confirm — never for the first time on the bill.
- Service fee — $5
- Booking, dispatch and live tracking. Charged once per job.
- Late night — $75 for a tow, $20 otherwise
- 10pm to 5am, any night. A flat charge, not a multiplier: waking a driver at 3am costs the same whether the tow is two miles or twenty.
- Rush hour — 25% more
- Weekdays, 7am–10am. Applies to the hook-up and the miles only — never to the service fee, and never to a toll.
- Rush hour — 25% more
- Weekdays, 4pm–7pm. Applies to the hook-up and the miles only — never to the service fee, and never to a toll.
- Heavy vehicle — $50
- Over 5,000 lb, which needs a bigger truck. Tows only, and the same figure at any hour — it is never surged.
- Bridge or tunnel toll — $20
- Added when the job crosses a state line, because every crossing out of North Jersey is tolled and a truck pays a higher class than a car. Tolls on the route itself are passed on at cost and confirmed by dispatch.

Prices are for Northern New Jersey and are the rates we charge directly. A job that turns out to be materially different from what was described — a longer tow, a vehicle that will not roll, a second truck needed — is re-quoted and confirmed with you before the work starts, never after.
