Written Because You Kept Asking
Our dispatchers field the same towing price questions hundreds of times a week, so we put the answers in writing. Each guide below comes straight from those calls. Expect actual dollar ranges, realistic timeframes, and zero padding.
And if reading isn't the mood, two shortcuts. Our fair-rate towing page condenses the pricing advice into one screen, and the roadside assistance rundown lists what jump starts and lockouts cost for the small jobs that never need a hook.

Where to start
Read the cost guide first. Once the hook-up fee and mileage rate make sense, every other towing decision gets easier. And most of the scams stop working on you.
