Our towing company's prices in Rahway, NJ: $149 booking fee, $129 online, mileage spoken first, nothing added at the curb
One company owns every truck, so one price list covers every truck. The booking fee is printed here; the dispatcher reads you the miles; a roadside job is a single flat amount; shops, dealers and fleets hold a rate sheet and settle once a month.
The fee, the miles and nothing else: how our company prices a Rahway tow from every truck it owns
A Rahway tow with our company is two figures, the $149 booking fee ($129 online) and a per-mile amount to whichever address you give, both read aloud before a truck leaves Linden, and a third figure exists only for a car whose wheels are locked or whose steering is gone, and only after the driver has named it and you have accepted it.
| 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 pays for the truck coming to you and your car going onto it, and it reads the same at lunchtime and at 3 a.m. Describe the job to the dispatcher and the fee is $149; type it into the booking page yourself and it drops to $129. That fee is for a passenger car, an SUV or a pickup riding a flatbed or a wheel-lift; a van, a box truck, a bus or a tractor calls for a larger truck and is quoted on its own.
The mileage
Billed per mile from wherever the car is sitting to the address you name. Inside Rahway, or over the line into Linden, Clark, Woodbridge or Carteret, that is a small figure. The shore, Staten Island, New York or another state is handled as a long distance tow whose quote already covers the tolls and the trip back.
Shop, dealer and fleet accounts
Our regulars in Rahway are the garages on St. Georges Avenue, the dealers along Route 1, the contractor fleets around Merck and the operators at the Lawrence Street docks. Each holds a rate sheet, calls a direct line, books transfers into a window, and pays one invoice on net terms at the end of the month. The contact page explains how an account is opened.
The charges that do not exist here
There is no night rate, no weekend rate and no holiday rate. There is no fuel surcharge sitting on top of the miles and no separate hook fee.
The passenger rides free. A car delivered to the address you gave is never charged storage, and there is nothing to release because there is no lot.
Card and cash cost the same.
Where the car is, where it is going, what it is. From those three the dispatcher reads you one total off the list every truck we own uses.
Get a quote nowBook online · $129Jump starts, tires, lockouts and fuel in Rahway: one flat amount each, done by company drivers
Every company truck that tows also carries a jump pack, tire tools, a lockout kit and a fuel can, so a roadside job in Rahway is one flat amount with no mileage attached, and it is what the dispatcher sends whenever it will get you moving without a tow.
Jump start
A commercial jump pack that handles cars, trucks and diesels. The usual scenes: the station deck after a day in the city, the hospital lots at shift change, a Milton Avenue driveway when the temperature first drops. Should the battery refuse the charge, the tow is added on the same visit at the flat fee.
Flat tire change
Your spare goes on wherever the car came to rest, on Route 1, on St. Georges Avenue, on a side street off Westfield Avenue. No spare, or two flats together, and the car rides to the tire shop you choose at the tow price.
Car lockout
Keys shut inside at a Route 27 plaza, in the UCPAC lot or in a Merck employee lot. Damage-free tools, no broken glass.
Fuel delivery
Tank empty on Route 1, on Central Avenue heading for the Parkway, or in the Irving Street crawl after a show. Enough gas or diesel to reach a pump, at whatever hour it is.
Cannot tell whether the car needs to be hauled? Tell the dispatcher exactly that. The cheaper roadside fix is tried first.
Call (908) 666-3168What we towWhy a quote from a towing company that owns its trucks reads differently from a broker's number in Rahway
Our Rahway quote is a printed booking fee, a per-mile rate to an address you chose, and a receipt with our name across the top; a broker's quote is a low figure designed to win your call on behalf of a truck the broker has never seen, with the balance turning up at the curb.
A lead site owns no truck and cannot know what the truck it finds will charge, so its number is a hope dressed up as a price. Our dispatcher has the truck on a screen, knows who is driving it, and quotes from the fleet's single list.
Three questions expose any towing quote in Rahway. How much is the fee to book, how much per mile and measured to where, and whose company name goes on the receipt.
After a crash the difference grows. A truck you never called takes the car to a lot that charges by the day, and the lot then wants a release fee before you can have it back.
Call your own towing company from the scene instead, tell the officer where the car is headed, and that lot never enters the story. If a plan or a policy reimburses your towing, the itemized receipt from our driver is precisely what its claims desk asks for.
Ask for the number. Asking costs nothing, the figure is flat, and every truck in the yard charges it.

Short answers to what people ask about this page; the dispatcher can answer the rest.
Does $149 cover the whole tow in Rahway?
$149 is the booking fee, meaning the truck reaching you and the car going on. Mileage to your destination is the only addition, and the dispatcher reads it to you before anyone is sent.
Why is the online price $129?
Because you entered the details instead of the dispatcher, the $20 stays with you. From a live lane on Route 1, though, phone; it is quicker.
Do Route 1 fleets and the Merck contractors get their own rates?
Yes. Any fleet, dealer or shop can hold a rate sheet, booked windows and a monthly invoice on net terms. Dispatch opens the account.
Is it more at night or on a holiday?
No. Our own drivers work the overnight hours, and the fee and the mileage rate do not know what time or what day it is.
Is there a storage charge?
Never, because every one of our tows ends at the garage, dealer or driveway you chose and we own no lot to store anything in.
Will my insurer or roadside plan accept your receipt?
Yes. It is itemized under our company name and number, and the fee, the miles and any winching or dolly work each appear on a separate line.
Anything else? Ask on the call.
