You'll pay for the hook, and per km... And a fuel surcharge...

Probably just best to call with the addresses and let them quote you ;)

:werd:

Tell them the car has a broken axle or something though, they always give me shit for using it for back and forth stuff. Supposed to be roadside assistance only. Annoying, I always seem to get the extra cunty dispatcher too, then the driver laughs about it with me.

Used citywide once, I think it was around $80 for 5km

Anything more than 7 ish kms, might be cheaper to just sign up for AMA anyway. Gold membership is $110 I think, regular $90 but 5km limit on towing

AMA gold is worth every penny.

Also I get around 40-50 CAA dollars every years cause I fill up at husky and swipe my card, so that makes membership cheap. A single tow can easily exceed the cost of a year of AMA.

Same. Plus other benefits like shorter registry lines, and unlike public registry, most of the people working there aren't complete cunts. Almost worth it for that alone if you go to the registry a few times a year.

Sign up for AMA. Hook up your friends as well just tell them when you call in you were sitting in your friends car/truck


I think the cheapest tow I paid for was 100 bucks from some company that I called from google. Lol. They said it would be 45 minutes to come get me but I said I would be pay cash and he came in ten minutes.

160km per tow, and it can't be towed from the location it was last towed to.

never

Rent a uhaul tow dolley and do it yourself :dunno:

(edit, you wanted a flat bed presumably because less there are less than 2 wheels on the car )
