What to know before you tow

What should you know before having your vehicle (or someone else’s vehicle) towed? Before choosing a towing company, ask yourself the following questions:

Are they licensed and insured?

Every towing company in the United States should be licensed and insured as applicable in the jurisdiction(s) where they operate. Although there is no federally mandated license for tow truck operators, the Department of Transportation requires a Commercial Driver’s License (CDL) according to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) §383.91 – Commercial Vehicle Groups classifications for vehicles they intend to tow. Certain municipal governments and counties may require additional licensing. Only choose reputable towing companies that possess adequate liability insurance and any applicable licenses.

How long have they been in business?

Reputation and trust are essential in the towing industry, and these generally are gained over time and with experience. Try to always choose a towing company near you that has been operating legally for many years, and preferably with certifications such as the Towing and Recovery Association of America (TRAA) certification.

What are the reviews like?

It is important to choose a towing company that has consistently good reviews online, especially trustworthy reviews that cannot be easily falsified. While a few one-star reviews may or may not matter, a significant proportion of bad reviews might be red flags to avoid that particular company.

What are their prices?

While you may be looking for the best prices for towing, rock-bottom prices that seem too good to be true might be scams in waiting. Instead, always ask the towing company over the phone about their rates, including call-out charges, labor, and per-mile charges, for example. Reputable towing companies will have no problem giving you an accurate over-the-phone quote. Scammers, on the other hand, will try to lowball you and then charge you a small fortune afterwards.

What types of vehicles do they tow?

While most towing companies can tow passenger vehicles, not all are capable of towing heavy or oversized vehicles like buses or construction equipment. Make sure that your preferred towing company is capable of towing your vehicle and that the tow truck operator possesses the correct CDL for the combined weight of both vehicles. Also, let the towing company know where the vehicle is located, e.g. on-street parking, tumbled in a ditch or other hard-to-reach location. Some tow trucks can extricate vehicles from ditches or other challenging locations, others cannot.

What is their timeframe for reaching me?

Often, a towing company is needed urgently and time is of the essence. Generally, towing companies try to dispatch tow trucks within about an hour, but it really depends on your location and their availability. Let your preferred towing company know how urgent the matter is to receive the best possible service.

Are there any service guarantees?

A qualified and experienced tow truck operator should be able to safely tow a vehicle to the desired location without incurring any additional damage. Nevertheless, it is important that the towing company is adequately insured should any unforeseen events occur that damage the vehicle or property.

Do they operate responsibly and professionally?

The towing industry is highly competitive, which incentivizes many good and honest tow truck operators to compete but it also attracts a few bad apples. Scammers and unqualified tow truck operators unfortunately prey on individuals at a stressful time, often price gouging or holding the vehicle ransom in a garage. Only choose reputable towing companies that have been vetted and approved such as those found on TowGator.

Local towing company near me: Frequently asked questions

Why should I use TowGator?

TowGator offers best prices, dependable services, and a wide selection of vetted approved towing companies near you in the US offering free quotes. Anyone in need of dependable roadside assistance or towing services for their own vehicle or for another vehicle can use TowGator.

Should I opt for a local 24 hour towing service or a national franchise?

Towing franchises in the United States tend to have higher operating costs than local, independent small towing companies, so it is often more cost-effective and efficient to contact a local towing company near you. To avoid scams, it is essential to only choose vetted and approved towing companies such as those found on TowGator.

Can I request a tow for someone else through TowGator?

Yes. TowGator can be used to hire a towing company for yourself but you can also contact a 24 hour towing company to have someone else’s vehicle towed.

Do the towing services provided through TowGator accommodate motorcycles and other non-traditional vehicles?

Yes. TowGator member partners operate their own independent businesses and the vehicles they use may differ, but typically they can legally tow motorcycles, passenger vehicles, SUVs, pickup trucks and other personal vehicles. Some towing companies may also be able to tow semi-trailers, buses and other large vehicles. Please ask your preferred towing company over the phone.
