About TowingCosts.com

Our Story

TowingCosts.com was founded in 2024 by a team of automotive industry professionals who experienced firsthand the frustration of not knowing how much a tow would cost before calling for help. After being quoted vastly different prices for the same service multiple times, we decided to create a solution.

Our team spent months researching towing rates across the United States, collecting data from hundreds of towing companies, analyzing state regulations, and understanding the factors that influence pricing. The result is TowingCosts.com - the most comprehensive towing cost resource available online.

Today, we help over 500,000 drivers every month estimate their towing costs before making that call. Our calculator and pricing guides have been featured in automotive publications and are trusted by drivers, insurance companies, and towing professionals across the country.
