24 hour towing cost in Elizabeth, NJ: $149 flat booking fee, $129 online, and midnight is priced like noon
One fixed fee, one mileage figure, nothing hidden. Below: what the fee buys, what can be added, what is never added, and how to hear your exact total in under a minute, at 4 p.m. or 4 a.m.
The whole Elizabeth price formula: $149 to book, mileage to your door, nothing else
The price of any tow in Elizabeth is built from two parts, a flat $149 booking fee that becomes $129 online and a per-mile figure to the destination you name, both stated on the call, with winching or dolly work added only when a car cannot roll and only after you have agreed to it.
| 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
Think of it as the cost of getting a truck and a driver to your bumper and the car onto the hook, fixed whatever the hour. Phone bookings are $149; booking online is $129, because the $20 you keep is the dispatcher's time you did not use. Cars, SUVs and pickups on a wheel-lift or a flatbed are all inside that fee; vans, box trucks, buses and tractors need a medium or heavy-duty unit and get a quote of their own.
Mileage, from the bumper to the destination
Distance is charged per mile from the pickup to the drop-off. Elizabeth to Linden, Union, Hillside, Roselle or Newark is a short run and a small figure. Once the trip reaches the shore, crosses the Goethals into Staten Island or leaves New Jersey it is a long distance tow, and the quote already holds the tolls and the return leg.
When a winch or dollies get added
Only when the car cannot roll or steer on its own: after a wreck, after sitting in water on an Elizabethport block, off the grass at Warinanco Park, or locked with the wheels turned hard. The dispatcher usually hears it in your description and puts it in the quote. Anything the driver finds that the call missed is priced out loud before he touches it.
Lines you will not find on our receipt
An after-hours line. A weekend line. A holiday line.
A fuel line. A passenger line for one or two people in the cab. Storage on a car that went straight to your shop, or a release fee to get it back.
And no different $149 because the call came in at 3 a.m.
Where the car is, where it is going, what it is: three answers and the dispatcher reads you the total.
Get a quote nowBook online · $129One flat price for a jump, a tire, a lockout or fuel anywhere in Elizabeth
Elizabeth roadside calls, the jump start, the tire change, the lockout and the fuel drop, carry a single flat price with no mileage attached, and the usual ending is you driving off rather than riding in the truck.
Jump start
Clicking in a Jersey Gardens row, in a station lot at 1 a.m., in an Elmora driveway before dawn. Jump packs sized for gas, diesel and hybrid systems. A battery that refuses the charge turns into a tow quoted right there.
Flat tire change
We fit your spare at the curb or on the shoulder, safely. Missing spare, or the pothole took two tires? Then it is a ride to the tire shop you choose, at the tow figure.
Car lockout
Keys inside on Broad Street, at a terminal gate, in a Trinitas deck. Entry tools that leave no marks, no glass on the seat, any hour.
Fuel delivery
Tank empty on Spring Street, Bayway Avenue or a side street. Enough gas or diesel to reach a station that is open, brought to you overnight.
If a jump or a tire might do it, say so on the call; the smaller figure is always the first thing we try.
Call (908) 666-3168What we towWhy a 2 a.m. quote in Elizabeth should read exactly like a 2 p.m. quote
Overnight towing in Elizabeth is where surprise fees hide, so we price the night like the day and put the figure on the receipt; if a quote from someone else carries an after-hours line, that line tells you everything.
Companies charge extra after dark for a simple reason: a driver woken at 2 a.m. costs them, and the person on the shoulder at 2 a.m. has no leverage. Our night drivers are scheduled, awake and already in the truck, so nobody is being woken and there is nothing to pass along.
The other overnight expense is storage. When a rotation truck hauls a wrecked car from Routes 1 & 9 to its own yard, the days tick over before you have found where it went, and the release fee sits on top. Naming your own truck and your own shop from the shoulder is what keeps an Elizabeth wreck from costing twice.
Coverage through a roadside plan or an insurer does not stop you calling us directly. You pay the figure you were quoted, keep the itemized receipt and file it. Overnight that beats waiting on the plan to find a contractor willing to come to Elizabeth, and the receipt is laid out the way the reimbursement desk wants it.
The figure is free to ask for, and it is the same figure at every hour.
Call (908) 666-3168Back to 24 hour towing ElizabethPricing: common questions
Short answers to what people ask about this page; the dispatcher can answer the rest.
Is towing more expensive at night in Elizabeth?
Not here. The clock does not touch the $149 booking fee or the per-mile figure, whatever the day or hour, and the receipt carries no after-hours, weekend or holiday line.
Why does booking online cost $129 when calling costs $149?
Doing the booking yourself spares the dispatcher a phone call, and that saving is the $20. Stranded in a lane? Call regardless; minutes matter more than the difference.
Does the quote hold?
The booking fee is fixed and the rest covers what the dispatcher was told. Should the driver find a surprise, say a car locked with the wheels turned that needs dollies, you hear the figure before he starts.
Is there a storage charge?
Not for a car that rides straight to your shop, dealer or driveway, and that is where ours ride. Ask us to hold a vehicle and the dispatcher names the daily figure before agreeing.
Will the receipt work for my insurer or roadside plan?
Yes. It is itemized, with the booking fee, the mileage and any recovery listed separately, on paper or by email, in the form adjusters and reimbursement desks are used to.
How can I pay at 3 a.m.?
Cash, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Visa, Mastercard, Discover or American Express, on site, at any hour. Fleet and port accounts get net terms and a single monthly invoice.
Anything else? Ask on the call.
