Depending on these factors the price of a tow truck is between $35,000 to $200,000 or more. A new truck can cost more than $350,000. However, it is not the same to buy a new tow truck and used tow trucks. The money that you will pull out of your wallet is not the same for a new and used tow truck.
You need to be aware that the condition and the performance of the truck are not the same.
How Much is a Tow on Average
There are few variables when it comes to the towing price and those are:
- What kind of Towing services do you need?
- Where is the location? (On the side of the road? In a ditch? Flipped over and laying in a river? Stuck in a field?)
- What is the cause (defect or accident)
- When do you need tow service – day or night?
- Do you need tow service during the weekends or holidays?
- Are you a new customer or old customer?
