Frequently Asked Questions
QWhat's the difference between towing and roadside assistance?
Towing physically moves your vehicle to another location. Roadside assistance is on-the-spot help — jump starts, tire changes, fuel delivery, lockouts — that gets you moving without a tow. Many companies offer both.
QHow do I know which type of towing service I need?
If your vehicle can't run at all, you need towing. If your car is AWD or all-wheel drive, request flatbed towing specifically. For commercial trucks over 26,000 lbs GVWR, you need heavy-duty towing. For breakdowns on highways, emergency towing gets the fastest dispatch.
QDo towing companies charge more at night or on weekends?
Yes. Most companies add $25–$75 for after-hours, weekend, and holiday calls. Emergency towing services that advertise 24/7 availability usually build this into their base rate.
QDoes my insurance cover towing?
It depends on your policy. Comprehensive coverage often includes roadside assistance and towing, and many providers offer standalone roadside add-ons for $5–$15/month. Check your declarations page or call your insurer before an emergency.
