Towing prices in Somerset County, NJ: one booking fee in every town, and the drive out is on us
North Plainfield and Bedminster pay the same booking fee, even though one is twice the drive from our yard. The only part that varies is the mileage from your car to where it is going, and you hear it before a truck moves. Roadside jobs are a single flat price each.
How a Somerset County tow is priced: booking fee plus mileage to your drop-off
A Somerset County tow is the flat $149 booking fee ($129 online) plus mileage from the car to the place you choose, quoted on the call; the drive from Linden to you is included in the booking fee, and a winch or dollies are added only when needed and only after you agree.
| 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
It covers the truck coming to you and hooking up the car, anywhere in Somerset County at any hour. By phone it is $149; through the booking page it is $129.
That one fee handles ordinary passenger vehicles and pickups. Anything bigger, from a cargo van up to a coach or a semi, calls for a heavier wrecker with its own figure given on the phone.
The mileage, and only from your car onward
Counted from where the car sits to where it is going. Somerville to a shop in Bridgewater is a small figure, and Montgomery to a dealer in Morristown is a bigger one.
The trip from our yard out to you is never counted. Leave New Jersey or head to the shore and it becomes a long distance tow, quoted with tolls.
Accounts for Somerset businesses
Dealers on Route 22, repair shops along Route 28 and warehouses in Franklin can hold an account. That means a rate sheet, booked pickups and one invoice a month on net terms.
Call the dispatcher or use the contact page to open one.
Charges that never appear
No premium for nights, weekends or holidays, and no fuel surcharge.
Riding along is free, loading is part of the booking fee, and a car dropped at your chosen address never collects a yard bill. Paying by card costs exactly what cash does.
Say where the car is, where it goes and what it is. The total comes before the truck.

Boosting a battery, swapping on a spare, unlocking a door or bringing a few gallons each carries one set price in Somerset County with no miles added, and when one of those could save the tow, the dispatcher suggests it before sending a flatbed.
Jump start
Cars, pickups and diesels, from a professional booster. Station lots in Somerville, Bound Brook and Raritan, office lots off I-287, driveways in Hillsborough. If the battery will not hold, the tow can follow in the same visit.
Flat tire change
We bolt on your spare wherever the tire gave out, a Route 22 jughandle or a Franklin loading dock. If the spare is flat too, the car rides to a tire shop and you hear those miles first.
Car lockout
Keys shut inside at Bridgewater Commons, the Blue Star Shopping Center or a Somerville side street. Opened with the proper tools, no broken glass, one flat price.
Fuel delivery
Tank dry on I-78, I-287 or an empty bit of Route 206? We bring gas or diesel to get you to a pump, day or night.
Suspect it is just the battery or a tire? Tell us, and we try that first.
Call (908) 666-3168What we towHow to judge a towing quote in Somerset County before you accept it
A sound Somerset County towing quote names a booking fee, a mileage figure to a real address, an honest arrival time and the business name that will be on the receipt; when any of those is vague, expect the bill or the wait to change.
Many numbers that come up in a Somerset towing search go to call centers that own no trucks. They promise a quick arrival to win the call, then pass the job to whoever is free, and that driver sets the real price.
Put four questions to anyone you call. The fee to show up, the miles to your address, the true distance of the truck, and the name printed on the bill.
We answer all four, including the uncomfortable one. If Bedminster is fifty minutes out for us, you hear fifty minutes, and you can decide what to do with that.
After a crash the stakes rise. A truck that turns up unasked may haul the car to a lot that charges storage every day, so call yourself and name the body shop you want.
Demand the total and the true arrival time. Neither costs a cent to ask.

Short answers to what people ask about this page; the dispatcher can answer the rest.
Is $149 the whole cost of a tow?
That figure gets a truck to you and your car on it. Add the miles to your drop-off, which you hear before saying yes, and you have the total; a winch or dollies only come in if the car cannot roll.
Do I pay for the drive from Linden to Bedminster?
No. The booking fee covers the truck getting to you from wherever it starts. Only the miles from your car to the drop-off are counted.
Why is booking online $129?
You enter the details yourself, so you save $20. On a busy interstate shoulder, phoning is quicker.
Is it more expensive at night?
No. A tow at 4 a.m. on New Year's Day is priced like one on a Wednesday lunchtime.
Will I be charged storage?
Never. We own no yard to hold cars in, so the trip finishes wherever you told us to take it.
Can I get a receipt for my insurer?
Yes. Each job comes with an itemized receipt listing the booking fee, the mileage and any extra work.
Anything else? Ask on the call.
