Call any towing company today and any tow will cost you $300 or more, and long distance tows are even worse.
Even trying to tow a car 50 miles in the San Francisco Bay Area cost me over $500 and yet AAA tow drivers tell me they only get paid a dollar a mile…
This industry can't be all evil and garbage, can it?
Dragging a car around the city is one thing, but as soon as it comes to interstate towing, it's better to immediately look at companies that specialize in this. Through friends, I found useful information about the real cost of towing from state to state and the work schemes. It explains why regular tow trucks charge so much. Short trips, downtime, city licenses. But companies that are focused on long-distance towing charge a clear price, and the price usually includes insurance and all paperwork.
Here you need to understand that the rates include not only kilometers, but also the costs of servicing tow trucks, driver salaries, insurance and licenses. Sometimes you really need urgent help, and quality service is worth the money. The main thing is to look for reliable carriers with clear prices in advance.
