What Affects Your Tow Price
A few factors move the price up or down:
- Distance – most of the cost is the per-kilometre rate from pickup to drop-off.
- Vehicle size – SUVs, pickups, and vans cost more than a sedan.
- Method – flatbed and specialty tows cost more than a standard wheel-lift.
- Time and conditions – late nights, winter storms, and difficult recovery add to the job.
