Not a lot of people think about towing services when everything is okay with their vehicle. However, you'll realize just how important they are if it so happens that your car unexpectedly breaks down. Here are some factors you can expect to encounter when your car is towed.

Specific Price Points

According to The Balance, the average cost of a towing service is $109. However, please note that this price varies depending on several things. For instance, you should consider the distance to travel and the size of the vehicle. The base fee is usually approximately $50. This is the mandatory amount that you'll have to pay to start with. The base fee covers the first 10 miles in most instances. After that, you may have to pay anywhere between $2 to $4 per mile. Therefore, if your vehicle is being towed 100 miles, you may have to pay up to $450.

Recovery Assistance



If you get stranded and need a tow, the towing service is able to help you with more than just pulling your vehicle. For instance, they can come even if the car is not damaged in order to help change a flat tire, refuel your car, or jump-start it. They may also make some minor repairs to make it possible for the car to be towed safely. For instance, if the axle or any other part is broken in a way that makes it unsafe to tow, they can remove the part or perform some temporary repair to make it safer to tow your car.

Transport During Towing

If your car breaks down in the middle of nowhere, the tow truck isn't just going to take the car and leave you stranded. They'll provide you with transportation. However, you must never sit in your car while it's being towed. This is both illegal and extremely unsafe. You should always ride in the tow vehicle or make other transport arrangements if you can't fit in.

A towing service will take good care of your vehicle and ensure that it gets to where you want it to go in one piece.
