Common questions
How much do tow trucks charge per mile in 2026?
Motor club contracts commonly pay about $3.50–$6.00 per loaded mile after any included-mile allowance. Cash-call pricing varies by market and should be built from the operator's actual hookup, mileage, labor, and overhead costs.
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.
