Long-distance towing is priced by distance , not a flat rate — call and we'll quote the actual run before committing to it. Moving a vehicle across the metro, out to another town or to a dealership hours away, we'll tell you the number up front.
What This Covers
The calls we get dispatched for under long-distance towing.
Out-of-Area Moves
Getting a vehicle from Chicagoland to another town or another part of the state, scheduled or same-day.
Dealership & Specialty Shop Drops
Warranty work, a specialist shop or a dealer that isn't around the corner. Distance is the whole variable.
Non-Running Vehicles
A project car, an inherited vehicle or something that hasn't started in years. Tell us whether it rolls and steers.
Planned, Not Just Emergency
Long-distance runs can be scheduled in advance rather than dispatched in a panic, which usually means a better price and a better time slot.
What Affects the Price
Starting prices are a floor, not a guess. These are the things that move the number.
We'd rather explain what changes the price than quote you a number that turns into a different number when the truck shows up. Tell us the details on the call and you get the real figure before anything is dispatched.
- Total distance of the run
- Vehicle size and weight
- Whether it rolls, steers and brakes
- Access at both pickup and drop-off
- Scheduled ahead versus immediate dispatch

Quick Answers
What callers ask us most about long-distance towing.
How much does long-distance towing cost?
There's no flat rate for it — the price is built from the distance of the run plus the vehicle and the access at both ends. Call with your pickup point and destination and we'll quote the specific job before anything is committed.
How far will you tow?
Further than most people expect. Rather than publish a boundary that's wrong half the time, tell us where the vehicle is going and we'll tell you straight whether we're the right outfit for it.
Can I schedule it in advance?
Yes, and it's usually the better move. A planned run means a time slot that works for you rather than whatever gap exists in an emergency day.
Can you tow a car that doesn't run?
Yes. Tell us whether it rolls, steers and brakes — those three things determine how it gets loaded and what the run costs.
Is the price locked in before you go?
You get the price before the vehicle moves. Long-distance runs are quoted on the specifics rather than estimated loosely, which is the point of asking about distance and access up front.
Do you tow out of state?
Ask. Some out-of-state runs work and some don't, and it depends on the destination and the timing. We'll give you a straight answer instead of a maybe.
