What factors affect how much a tow costs?
Vehicle size and weight
Cars and pickups usually go light-duty. Box trucks, RVs, and fleet vehicles need a heavy-duty operator. The published light-duty hookup is $95; the rest is quoted.
Distance
Give pickup and drop-off addresses. We do not publish a per-mile rate. The operator tells you what mileage is included and what the total is.
Truck type required
Ask the operator. A flatbed is the usual safe choice for low-clearance or damaged cars. Tesla Model 3 recommends a flatbed. Other EVs follow their own manuals. We do not give DIY transport instructions.
Hookup difficulty
A clear driveway and a car in Gentilly floodwater are different jobs. The operator tells you what they see on scene. We do not promise a hookup clock.
What do New Orleans drivers ask about tow pricing?
How much does it cost to tow a car 10 miles in New Orleans?
Our published light-duty hookup starts at $95. That is the hookup, not a 10-mile total. Ask the operator what mileage is included and what the full quote is for your pickup and destination.

A 50-mile job is quoted as a route total. We do not publish a guaranteed 50-mile number. Call (504) 474-5530 with both addresses.

Ask the operator. Equipment, loading time, and the vehicle all change the quote. Tesla Model 3 recommends a flatbed; other EVs follow their own manuals. We do not give DIY transport instructions.
Do you charge extra at night or on weekends?
Some operators add a night, weekend, or holiday charge. Ask whether it applies to your call. Do not assume nights are free or that a set add-on always applies.
How do I get the cheapest tow possible?
If you have insurer or motor-club roadside coverage, call them first so the tow goes on their tab. If you do not, call us and compare the operator quote. We do not promise a cheapest-in-town number.
Are these prices guaranteed?
The only published figure on this site is the $95 light-duty hookup. Everything else is quoted for the job. Get the number before you agree.
