Common questions

How much do tow trucks charge per mile in 2026?

Motor club contracts pay roughly $3.25–$6.00 per mile after a 5–10 mile free radius, while cash roadside calls run $4–$8 per mile on top of a $95–$275 hookup fee.

How do I set my tow rate sheet?

Anchor to the median motor club payout in your ZIP as the floor, then price cash calls at 1.8x–2.5x that number, and publish after-hours, winch, dolly, storage, and admin fees up front.
