Our towing company's prices in Elizabeth, NJ: $149 booking fee, $129 online, mileage read to you first, nothing added later
Every truck belongs to one company, so there is a single list of prices. This page prints the booking fee; the dispatcher reads the mileage; each roadside job is one flat amount; fleets and shops get a rate sheet and one invoice.
The fee, the miles and nothing else: how our company prices an Elizabeth tow from every truck it owns
Two numbers make up an Elizabeth tow with our company: the $149 booking fee ($129 online) and a per-mile figure to wherever you send the car, both read to you before a truck leaves Linden, and a third number appears only if the car cannot roll or steer and only once you have agreed to the winch or the dollies.
| What | Price | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Booking fee by phone | $149 | Dispatch and hook-up, any hour |
| Booking fee online | $129 | $20 off when you book it yourself |
| Mileage to your destination | Quoted on the call | Before the truck moves. You pick the shop. |
| Jump start · tire · lockout · fuel | One flat price each | No mileage. Tried first when it can solve it. |
| Winch or dollies | Only if the car will not roll | Named before the work, you decide |
| Night, weekend, holiday, fuel surcharge | None | 3 a.m. costs what 3 p.m. costs |
| Storage or release fee | None | The car goes to your shop, not a yard |
The booking fee: $149 by phone, $129 online
This is the charge for getting a truck to you and getting the car onto it, and it is identical at noon and at 3 a.m. Give the details to the dispatcher and it is $149; type them into the booking page yourself and it is $129. A car, SUV or pickup on a flatbed or a wheel-lift is what the fee assumes; a van, box truck, bus or tractor takes a larger truck and gets its own quote.
The mileage
Charged per mile between the spot where the car sits and the address you give. Inside Elizabeth or across the line into Linden, Union or Newark it is a small number. Anything like the shore, Staten Island, New York or another state is priced as a long distance tow that already includes tolls and the trip back.
Fleet, dealer and shop accounts
The charges that do not exist here
No night, weekend or holiday rate. No fuel surcharge on top of the miles. No separate hook fee.
Nothing for the person riding in the cab. Nothing for storage when the car went straight to the place you named. Nothing to release it, since there is no lot.
No difference between paying by card and paying cash.
Pickup, drop-off, vehicle. With those three the dispatcher reads you a total off the one list every truck we own works from.

The jump pack, the tire tools, the lockout kit and the fuel can ride on the same company trucks that tow, so a roadside job in Elizabeth is one flat amount with no mileage, and the dispatcher sends that instead of a tow whenever it will get you moving.
Jump start
A commercial jump pack sized for cars, trucks and diesels. Typical calls: the Mills lots after a long afternoon, the Trinitas decks at shift change, an Elmora driveway on a cold morning. A battery that will not take the charge means the tow is added at the flat fee on the same visit.
Flat tire change
Our driver fits your spare wherever the car stopped: Routes 1 & 9, North Avenue, a Peterstown side street. With no spare, or two flats at once, the car rides to the tire shop you name at the tow rate.
Car lockout
Keys locked in at IKEA, the station lot or a port gate. Our driver uses damage-free tools and nobody breaks a window.
Fuel delivery
Ran dry on the Goethals approach, on Bayway Avenue or in the Route 27 crawl. Enough gas or diesel arrives to reach the next station, at any hour.
Unsure whether the car needs hauling? Tell the dispatcher that. The cheaper roadside fix goes first.
Call (908) 666-3168What we towWhy a quote from a towing company that owns its trucks looks different from a broker's number
A company quote in Elizabeth has a printed booking fee, a mileage rate to a destination you named, and a receipt in the company's name; a broker's number is a low figure meant to win the call from a truck the broker has never met, with the rest arriving at the curb.
A middleman does not own the truck and does not know what the truck will charge, so the figure it gives you is a guess. Our dispatcher can see the truck, knows the driver and reads from the fleet's one list.
Put three questions to any quote you get in Elizabeth: how much is the booking fee, how much per mile and to which address, and which company's name will print on the receipt.
A collision widens the gap. The truck nobody asked for hauls the car to a lot that meters it by the day and then wants a release fee before it will let go.
Ring your own towing company from the scene, tell the officer where the car is going, and that lot never sees it. A plan or a policy that reimburses towing wants exactly the itemized receipt our driver hands over, so pay the flat number and send it in.
Ask what it costs. Asking is free, the answer is flat, and it does not change with the truck.

Short answers to what people ask about this page; the dispatcher can answer the rest.
Is $149 the entire cost of a tow with your company in Elizabeth?
$149 is the booking fee: the truck getting to you and the car going on. The miles to your destination are the one thing added to it, and you hear them before dispatch.
Why does booking online cost $129?
You did the dispatcher's typing, so the $20 stays with you. From a live lane, phone instead, because the phone is quicker.
Do port and Bayway fleets get their own rates?
Fleets, dealers and shops get a rate sheet, scheduled windows and one monthly invoice on net terms. Ask dispatch to open an account.
Is it more at night or on a holiday?
No. Nights are worked by the same company, not a contractor, and the booking fee and the per-mile figure never change with the clock or the calendar.
Is there a storage charge?
Not on a car delivered to the garage, dealer or driveway you chose, which is where every one of our tows ends. We do not operate a storage lot.
Will I get a receipt my insurer or roadside plan will accept?
Yes. The receipt is itemized, carries our company name and number, and lists the booking fee, the mileage and any winch or dolly work separately.
Anything else? Ask on the call.
