Our towing company's prices in Linden, NJ: $149 booking fee, $129 online, mileage read to you first, and the shortest miles we quote anywhere
Every truck in the yard works from the same price list, and this page is that list. The booking fee is printed here, the dispatcher reads the mileage on the call, roadside jobs are one flat amount apiece, and the plants, dealers and garages that call weekly get a rate sheet and one invoice.
The fee, the miles and nothing else: how a Linden tow is priced from every truck in our yard
A Linden tow is made of two figures, the $149 booking fee ($129 online) and the mileage to wherever you send the car, and both are spoken on the call before a truck leaves; a third figure appears only when the car cannot roll or steer, and only once you have said yes to the winch or the dollies.
| What | Price | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Booking fee by phone | $149 | Dispatch and hook-up, any hour |
| Booking fee online | $129 | $20 off when you book it yourself |
| Mileage to your destination | Quoted on the call | Before the truck moves. You pick the shop. |
| Jump start · tire · lockout · fuel | One flat price each | No mileage. Tried first when it can solve it. |
| Winch or dollies | Only if the car will not roll | Named before the work, you decide |
| Night, weekend, holiday, fuel surcharge | None | 3 a.m. costs what 3 p.m. costs |
| Storage or release fee | None | The car goes to your shop, not a yard |
The booking fee: $149 by phone, $129 online
The fee covers a truck getting to your block and your car getting onto it, at noon or at 3 a.m. Give the details to the dispatcher and you pay $149; enter them on the booking page and you pay $129. It assumes a car, SUV or pickup on a flatbed or a wheel-lift; a van, box truck, bus, tractor or tanker takes a bigger truck and is quoted on its own.
The mileage, and why Linden's is the shortest
The miles run from where the car sits to the address you give, and the yard is in Linden, so a tow that begins and ends in town, or hops the line into Elizabeth, Rahway or Roselle, carries the smallest mileage line on our sheet. A run to the shore, Staten Island, New York or another state is quoted as a long distance tow with the tolls and the trip home already inside it.
Plant, fleet, dealer and shop accounts
The plants on Tremley Point, the carriers through the tank farms, the dealers on Routes 1 & 9 and the garages on St. Georges Avenue hold an account: a rate sheet, a direct line to dispatch, booked windows and net terms on one invoice a month. The contact page explains how one is opened.
The charges that do not exist here
There is no rate for nights, weekends or holidays. There is no fuel charge stacked on the miles and no hook fee separate from the booking fee.
A passenger in the cab costs nothing. A car taken straight to the address you gave is never stored, and there is no lot to release it from.
Card and cash are priced the same.
Where the car is, where it is going, and what it is. The dispatcher turns those three into one total from the list every truck uses.
Get a quote nowBook online · $129Jump starts, tires, lockouts and fuel in Linden: one flat amount for each, from the trucks that tow
Every truck in the yard carries a jump pack, tire tools, a lockout kit and a fuel can, which is why a roadside job anywhere in Linden is one flat amount with no mileage attached, and why the dispatcher will send that rather than a tow whenever it is enough to get you moving.
Jump start
A pack sized for cars, diesels and light trucks. Where it goes most: the station lot at the end of a workday, the rows at Linden Plaza and Aviation Plaza, a plant lot on Tremley Point after a turnaround, a Sunnyside driveway on the first cold morning. A battery that refuses the charge means the same visit becomes a tow at the flat fee.
Flat tire change
The spare goes on where the car stopped, whether that is Routes 1 & 9, St. Georges Avenue or a side street off Wood Avenue. With no spare, or two flats at once, the car goes to the tire shop you pick at the tow rate.
Car lockout
Keys shut inside at Aviation Plaza, the station, a hotel on Edgar Road or a hangar at the airport. Damage-free tools, and nobody breaks a window.
Fuel delivery
Ran dry on Edgar Road, on Tremley Point Road or on the way to the Parkway ramp. Enough gas or diesel arrives to reach the next station, at any hour.
Not sure the car needs hauling? Say so. The cheaper roadside fix goes first.
Call (908) 666-3168What we towWhy a quote from the towing company whose yard is in Linden looks different from a broker's number
Our Linden quote is a booking fee you can read on this page, a mileage figure to the destination you chose, and a receipt with our name on it; a broker's quote is a low number designed to win the call, tied to a truck the broker has never seen, with the real total settled at the curb.
A broker has no truck and no idea what the truck it finds will charge, so its figure is a guess dressed as a price. Our dispatcher is looking at the truck, knows who is driving it, and quotes off the list every truck in the yard follows.
Whatever quote you get in Linden, ask three things: the booking fee, the per-mile figure and the address it runs to, and the company name that will be printed on the receipt.
After a crash the difference gets expensive. A truck you did not call hauls the car to a lot that bills by the day and holds it for a release fee.
Ring your own company from the scene, tell the officer where the car is headed, and no such lot is involved. If a roadside plan or an insurer pays you back for towing, the itemized receipt our driver hands over is what their claims desk asks for.
Asking for the total costs nothing, the total is flat, and it is identical from every truck in the yard.
Call (908) 666-3168Back to Towing Company LindenPricing: common questions
Short answers to what people ask about this page; the dispatcher can answer the rest.
Is $149 the whole cost of a tow in Linden?
$149 books the truck and puts the car on it. The only addition is the mileage to your destination, spoken before dispatch, and inside Linden that mileage is the shortest on our sheet.
Why is it $129 online?
Because you entered the details yourself instead of the dispatcher doing it, and the $20 saved goes to you. If you are in a live lane, phone; it is faster.
Do the Tremley Point plants and the Routes 1 & 9 dealers get their own rates?
Plants, carriers, dealers and shops hold an account with a rate sheet, booked windows and net terms on one monthly invoice. Dispatch opens it on request.
Is it more at night or on a holiday?
No. The same company staffs the night shift, and neither the booking fee nor the per-mile figure moves with the clock or the calendar.
Is there a storage charge?
No, because the company has no lot. Every tow ends at the garage, dealer or driveway you named, and there is nothing to store and nothing to release.
Will I get a receipt my insurer or roadside plan accepts?
Yes. The receipt is itemized under the company's name and number, with the booking fee, the mileage and any winch or dolly work on separate lines.
Anything else? Ask on the call.
