How much does a tow truck service cost in Ontario?

The cost of getting a tow in Ontario depends on how far the tow truck needs to drive to get your vehicle, and the time it takes to tow it to your destination. The type of vehicle you have also plays a role in the total cost. Our company, Newmarket Tow Truck Service, charges an average of $100 to $200 per tow, as most of our clients are passing through Newmarket and need a tow to one of the nearest towns, and our towing rates are around $4 per kilometer depending on the type of vehicle you have.

Keep in mind that additional fees may apply for services such as winching, storage, or after-hours towing. It's advisable to inquire about all potential charges and get a clear estimate before agreeing to the towing service. Others in Ontario, like a tow truck Barrie company, charge similar prices, although because they're larger company with more trucks they have a slightly cheaper towing rate, maybe $3 per kilometer.

If all you need is a quick wheel-lift or flatbed tow for a reasonable distance, you may see a bill anywhere around $150. If you're towing a heavier vehicle a longer distance, you could be looking at a tow cost of $300 or more, but the average for total service is $100 to $200.
