How Can You Save on Towing Services?

If you have not already done so, call your insurance company and report the tow. Many insurance policies add this service coverage automatically. If your company does not cover the tow charge completely, they may do so for a small fee.

If you have not yet checked your insurance for this coverage and you think you may need tow service, be sure to call and see if the coverage is available through your policy.

If you have a credit card, contact the issuer to see if you have any roadside assistance coverage. If you do not have a credit card and you are thinking about getting one, it is worth asking about whether or not free roadside service is an option before you apply.

Also check with your cell phone service provider. They sometimes offer similar services that can save you money.

In some cases, you may be in a precarious situation in which you need to get the first tow truck that can get to you. If you are out late at night on a quiet road, you likely want to get help as fast as you can. However, if you are in a situation in which you have some time to research, check with different wrecker services and inquire about their prices before you book them.

When you call a wrecker service, ask what their charges are based on how far you need to go, whether or not they have additional hookup fees to load the vehicle or anything else that can impact your final price. Choose the company that you believe will get you home for the least amount of money and can get to you as quickly as possible.

Keep in mind that if you are in a hurry or you want to get towed right away, you may have to pay for that service. When it comes to your peace of mind, it is best to go with who can get to you first.

One of the best ways to save on towing services is by joining an auto club. An auto club is a membership in which you pay monthly or annually, depending on which club you choose. As a member of an auto club, you are essentially pre-paying for a variety of emergency services, including towing.

An auto club is a rather inexpensive investment, especially for what you get. Not only can you get your vehicle towed, but you also may receive battery charging services, tire changes, lockouts, and more.

Your towing fees can increase the farther away you are from the actual wrecker service's location. You should give accurate instructions as to your location. Distance can affect how much the towing service costs. You may want to pin your location and text it to the wrecking company if that is an option. That way, the driver will know exactly how to get to you.
