Towing

What to expect and how it is billed

Billing is a hook fee plus a per-mile rate, so ask for both numbers and any after-hours surcharge before dispatch. Confirm the method matches your drivetrain: drive wheels must come off the ground, and a flatbed is correct for every layout.

How to avoid being overcharged

Get the numbers before the unit is dispatched: base fee, per-mile charge where it applies, and any surcharge for hours or difficulty. Ask for an itemised receipt. If the tow was non-consensual — police-ordered or from private property — your state or city may publish a cap, and the operator should be able to tell you which schedule it is billing under.
