One company, one price list. The booking fee is fixed and printed here, the mileage is quoted on the call, the roadside jobs are one price each, and fleet accounts get a rate sheet and one invoice.

How a tow is priced

Booking fee plus mileage to the place you choose: the whole formula, from every truck in the fleet

A tow with our company is the flat $149 booking fee ($129 booked online) plus a per-mile rate to your destination, quoted before the truck leaves the yard, with a winch or dollies added only when the car will not roll or steer and only after you have agreed.

01

The booking fee: $149 by phone, $129 online

One fixed amount for sending the truck and hooking the car up, the same at every hour. A dispatcher taking the call makes it $149; entering it yourself on the booking page makes it $129. It covers a wheel-lift or a flatbed for a car, SUV or pickup. Vans, box trucks and buses need a bigger truck and are quoted on their own.

02

The mileage

A per-mile rate from where the car sits to where it is going. Inside Newark or into a bordering town it is a short figure. The shore, New York or another state becomes a long distance tow quoted with tolls and the return run included.

03

Fleet and shop accounts

Body shops, dealers and fleet managers who tow every week get a rate sheet, a direct line and one monthly invoice. Scheduled transfers are booked for a window. Ask dispatch to open an account.

04

The fees that do not exist here

No after-hours charge. No weekend or holiday rate. No fuel surcharge.

No separate hook fee. No charge for a passenger. No storage on a car delivered where you sent it.

No release fee. No difference between cash and card.

Tell the dispatcher the pickup, the drop-off and the vehicle. She reads you the total from the company's one price list.

Roadside prices

Jump start, flat tire, lockout and fuel delivery in Newark: one flat price each, same drivers

Our drivers do the roadside jobs as well as the tows, so a jump, a tire change, a lockout or a fuel drop in Newark is one flat price with no mileage, and the dispatcher sends that instead of a tow when it will solve the problem.

Jump start

Our driver carries a professional pack for cars, trucks and diesels. Airport lots, hospital decks, driveways. If the battery will not hold, the tow goes on at the flat rate with no second trip.

Flat tire change

Your spare goes on where the car sits. No spare, or a second flat, and our truck takes you to the tire shop you name at the tow rate.

Car lockout

Keys inside on Ferry Street, at the port or in a campus lot. Our driver uses damage-free tools; nobody breaks glass.

Fuel delivery

Ran dry on Routes 1 & 9, Route 21 or a side street. Our driver brings enough gas or diesel to reach the next station, at any hour.

Not sure it needs a tow? Say so. The roadside price is the smaller number and it is tried first.

Company versus broker

Why a quote from a real towing company looks different from a broker's quote

A company quote has a fixed booking fee, a mileage rate to a named destination and a receipt with the company's name; a broker's quote is a low opening figure from a truck the broker has not met, with the extras arriving at the curb.

A broker does not own a truck, so the broker does not know what the truck will charge. The figure you hear is a guess designed to win the call.

Our dispatcher can see the truck, knows the driver and quotes the fleet's one price list. Ask any quote three questions: what is the booking fee, what is the mileage rate and to where, and whose name is on the receipt.

After a collision the difference is larger. The rotation truck that arrives uninvited takes the car to a yard that bills by the day.

Calling your own company and naming your own garage keeps the car out of that lot. If a roadside plan or a policy covers your towing, pay the flat price, take the itemized receipt and file it.

Ask for the number. It is free, it is flat, and it is the same from every truck we run.

FAQ

Pricing: common questions

Short answers to what people ask about this page; the dispatcher can answer the rest.

Is $149 the whole price of a tow with your company?

It is the booking fee, covering the truck reaching you and the hook-up. Mileage to your destination is added and quoted before dispatch. There is no other standard line.

Why is it $129 online?

Booking yourself saves the dispatcher's time and you keep the $20. On a live road, call; the phone is quicker.

Do fleets get a different rate?

Fleets and shops get a rate sheet, scheduled windows and one monthly invoice. Ask dispatch to open an account.

Do you charge more at night or on holidays?

No. The same company staffs nights, so the booking fee and the mileage rate are identical at every hour of the year.

Do you charge storage?

Not on a car delivered to your garage, dealer or driveway, which is where our tows end. We do not run a storage lot.

Can I get a receipt for insurance or a roadside plan?

Yes. Every job comes with an itemized receipt in the company's name showing the booking fee, the miles and any recovery work.

Anything else? Ask on the call.
