24 hour towing cost in Newark, NJ: $149 flat booking fee, $129 online, and night costs the same as day
The booking fee is fixed and published. Here is what it covers, what gets added, what never does, and how to get the exact total in under a minute at any hour.
A Newark tow is the $149 booking fee plus mileage to where you choose, and that is the whole formula
Every tow from Newark is priced as a flat $149 booking fee ($129 if you book online) plus a per-mile rate to your destination, quoted on the call, with winching or dolly work added only when it is needed and only after you have been told.
| What | Price | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Booking fee by phone | $149 | Dispatch and hook-up, any hour |
| Booking fee online | $129 | $20 off when you book it yourself |
| Mileage to your destination | Quoted on the call | Before the truck moves. You pick the shop. |
| Jump start · tire · lockout · fuel | One flat price each | No mileage. Tried first when it can solve it. |
| Winch or dollies | Only if the car will not roll | Named before the work, you decide |
| Night, weekend, holiday, fuel surcharge | None | 3 a.m. costs what 3 p.m. costs |
| Storage or release fee | None | The car goes to your shop, not a yard |
The booking fee: $149 by phone, $129 online
A flat amount for sending the truck and hooking the car up, the same at every hour. It is $149 when you call and $129 when you book online yourself; the $20 difference is what a dispatcher's time costs, and you keep it when you do the typing. The fee covers a wheel-lift or a flatbed for cars, SUVs and pickups. A medium or heavy-duty truck for a van, box truck or bus is quoted separately.
The mileage
A per-mile rate from where the car is to where it is going. Inside Newark, or to a neighboring town like Elizabeth, Hillside, Kearny or East Orange, that is a short number. To the shore, into New York or across a state line, it is a long distance tow and the quote includes tolls and the return leg.
Winching, dollies and recovery
Added only when the car will not roll or steer: after a crash, in a flooded street, off the pavement in a park, or locked with the wheels turned. The dispatcher can usually hear this on the call and quotes it up front. If the driver finds something the call did not reveal, he tells you the number before he does the work.
What is never on the bill
No night, weekend or holiday surcharge. No fuel surcharge. No fee for one or two passengers in the cab.
No storage on a car that went straight to your destination. No release fee. No charge for calling to ask the price.
No change to the $149 because it is 3 a.m.
Tell dispatch where the car is, where it is going and what it is, and you have the exact number.
Get a quote nowBook online · $129Jump start, flat tire, lockout and fuel delivery in Newark are one flat price each
Roadside jobs in Newark, a jump start, a flat tire change, a car lockout or a fuel delivery, are each a single flat price with no mileage, and most of the time you drive away instead of being towed.
Jump start
Dead battery in an airport lot, a Penn Station deck or a Weequahic driveway. Professional jump packs for cars, trucks and diesels. If the battery will not hold, the tow is quoted on the spot.
Flat tire change
Your spare goes on safely on the shoulder or the curb. No spare, or a second flat, and we tow you to the tire shop of your choice at the tow rate.
Car lockout
Keys locked in the car or the trunk on Ferry Street, at the port or in a hospital lot. Damage-free entry tools, no broken windows.
Fuel delivery
Ran dry on Routes 1 & 9, Route 21 or a side street. Enough gas or diesel to reach the next station, delivered at any hour.
Not sure it needs a tow? Say so. The roadside price is the smaller number and we try it first.
Call (908) 666-3168What we towWhy a 2 a.m. quote in Newark should look exactly like a 2 p.m. quote
Night towing in Newark is where surprise fees live, so we price it the same as daytime and put the number in writing on the receipt; if a quote you get elsewhere has an after-hours line on it, that is the tell.
The after-hours surcharge exists because a driver who is pulled out of bed costs a company money, and because a stranded driver at 2 a.m. will pay it. We staff nights on purpose, so there is no one to pull out of bed and no reason to charge for it.
The same goes for the storage trap: a rotation truck that shows up at a crash on I-78 will take the car to a yard, and by the time you find it the bill has three days of storage and a release fee on it. Calling your own tow, and naming your own shop, is the single biggest thing you can do to control what a Newark accident costs.
If you have a roadside plan or an insurance policy that covers towing, you can still call us directly, pay the quoted price and submit the itemized receipt. At night that is almost always faster than waiting for the plan to find a contractor willing to come to Newark, and the receipt is written so the reimbursement desk accepts it the first time.
Ask for the number. It is free, it is flat, and it is the same at every hour.
Call (908) 666-3168Back to 24 hour towing NewarkPricing: common questions
Short answers to what people ask about this page; the dispatcher can answer the rest.
Do you charge more for towing at night in Newark?
No. The $149 booking fee and the per-mile rate are the same at every hour, every day of the year. There is no after-hours, weekend or holiday surcharge.
Why is the booking fee $129 online and $149 by phone?
Booking online yourself saves the dispatcher's time on the call, and you keep the $20. If you are stranded on a road, call anyway; the phone is faster and the difference is small next to a long wait.
Is the quote binding?
The booking fee is fixed. The rest of the quote covers everything the dispatcher was told. If the driver finds something the call did not reveal, for example the car is locked with the wheels turned and needs dollies, he tells you the number before he does the work.
Do you charge storage?
Not on a car that goes straight to your shop, dealer or driveway, which is where our tows go. If you ask us to hold a car, the dispatcher tells you the daily rate before we do.
Can I get a receipt for my insurance or roadside plan?
Yes. Every tow comes with an itemized receipt showing the hook fee, the mileage and any recovery work, on paper or by email, in the format reimbursement desks accept.
What payment do you take at night?
Visa, Mastercard, Amex, Discover, Apple Pay, Google Pay and cash, on site, at any hour. Fleet accounts get net terms and one monthly invoice.
Anything else? Ask on the call.
