How Much Does Towing Cost in Calgary?
Towing prices aren't one-size-fits-all, and we won't pretend otherwise. Here's what actually moves the number, so you know what to expect before you call.
Every towing company prices calls a little differently, but the underlying factors are the same across the industry. Knowing what they are won't get you an exact number without calling, prices genuinely vary too much for that, but it explains why two tows can cost very different amounts even on the same day.
Distance
This is usually the biggest factor. A tow within the city costs less than a tow to another town, and long-distance moves across provincial lines are priced differently again. Tell us the pickup and drop-off points when you call and we'll quote based on the actual route.
Vehicle Type & Weight
A compact car costs less to move than a loaded 1-ton truck, simply because the equipment involved is different. Light-duty tows use smaller, faster equipment. Heavy-duty and flatbed jobs need bigger trucks, more rigging, and more time to set up safely, which is reflected in the price.
Time of Day
Towing is a 24/7 business, but calls at 3am on a holiday weekend aren't priced the same as a Tuesday afternoon. That's true across the industry, not just for us. We'll always tell you the number before anything's hooked up, regardless of what time it is.
Type of Service
Not every call is a tow. A jump start, a tire change, a lockout, or a fuel delivery is often quicker and cheaper than hauling a vehicle away, since there's no loading or long-distance driving involved. If you're not sure which one you need, describe the problem when you call and we'll figure out the right service.
