What drives the price of towing
Most towing bills are a hook fee plus a per-mile rate, and the hook fee is charged the moment the truck arrives. Nights, weekends, and highways cost more, and a motorcycle or all-wheel-drive vehicle can need special equipment.
Impound tows are their own world: the tow itself is often capped by city rules, but storage accrues every day the vehicle sits in the lot, so the total grows the longer you wait to pick it up.
