Light-duty tow: $99 an hour, no setup costs, no additional fees. Covers cars, sedans, compact SUVs, and anything under about 10,000 lbs gross weight. Most intra-borough tows finish in well under an hour.
Flatbed tow: $99 an hour, same rate. Required for AWD, 4WD, EVs, low-clearance sports and luxury cars, motorcycles, and any tow going more than about 20 miles. If you're unsure what your vehicle needs, tell dispatch the year/make/model — we know the answer for every common vehicle.
Roadside: $99 an hour for jump-start, flat-tire change, lockout, or gas delivery. Winch-out from snow or a ditch is the same rate. Any delivered fuel is billed at cost, no handling fee.
Heavy-duty tows (Class 6–8 vehicles, box trucks, sprinters, commercial rigs) run the identical $99/hr rate — no setup costs, no additional fees. Bigger, more complex recoveries simply take more time, billed at the same rate.
What's Included In Every Rate
Correct truck & crew
We don't show up in a wheel-lift for a job that needs flatbed. The right equipment for your vehicle is assumed.
Timestamped documentation
Photos on scene and at drop for every tow. Protects both sides — for insurance, disputes, and your peace of mind.
Itemized receipt, emailed
Hookup fee, mileage, any specialty equipment, taxes — all itemized. Receipt in your inbox within minutes of completion.
Direct insurance billing
For accident and collision tows, we bill your carrier directly in most cases. You don't front the cost.
NYC DCWP licensed
Fully licensed tow operator. Commercial auto, garage liability, and on-hook insurance on every truck and every load.
W-2 employee drivers
Not gig workers. Trained, background-checked, accountable. Consistent execution every call.
What You Will Never See On The Bill
If you see any of these on an NYC tow invoice, it's a scam operator. Dispute it. File a 311 complaint with DCWP.
✗ NYC surcharge
Doesn't exist in legitimate pricing. Pure padding.
✗ After-hours markup
Overnight, weekend, and holiday rates match daytime rates. No time-of-day premiums.
✗ Storage fees on same-day drops
Storage applies to overnight yard stays. Same-day drops from scene to destination — zero storage fee.
✗ Cash-only demand
We accept every major card, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and cash. Cash-only demands are a red flag.
✗ Unlisted drop location
Your vehicle goes where you direct — your home, your shop, your dealer. Never our yard without your explicit okay.
✗ Padded hours
The clock starts when the driver is actually on scene working your call — not before, not for invented delays.
