Cost to tow a car from Morristown to Hackensack

What could change this price

Anything that applies to your job shows as its own line on the quote before you confirm — never for the first time on the bill.

• Overnight, 10pm to 5am — a flat $75 on a tow. Not a multiplier: waking a driver at 3am costs the same whether the tow is two miles or twenty.
• Weekday rush hour — 7–10am and 4–7pm, a quarter more on the hook-up and the miles. Never on the service fee.
• A vehicle over 5,000 lb — a flat $50, because it needs a bigger truck. The same figure at any hour.
• This route crosses county lines — Morris County to Bergen County. That changes nothing about the price; mileage is mileage. A crossing out of New Jersey would add a toll line, and this one stays in state.

Common questions

How much is a tow from Morristown to Hackensack?

$345.60 at our standard rate — a $125 hook-up, 30.8 miles at $7 a mile, and a $5 service fee. Overnight and rush-hour surcharges are added as their own lines when they apply, and you see the total before you confirm.

How far is it from Morristown to Hackensack?

About 30.8 miles by road, which is what the mileage on your quote is worked out from. If the driver has to take a longer route, dispatch confirms the change with you rather than adding it to the bill afterwards.

Do I have to be with the vehicle?

Not necessarily, but somebody has to be able to release it at the Morristown end and receive it in Hackensack. Tell us when you file the request if the shop will be closed, and dispatch will work out the drop with you first.

What if the car will not roll or the keys are lost?

Both are fine, and both change the equipment sent — a vehicle that will not shift into neutral needs dollies. The request form asks about keys and neutral for exactly that reason, so the right truck arrives the first time.
