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.
