“Why does a tow cost more on the weekend?”

Because Saturday morning doesn't cost us the same as Monday morning.

When you call for a tow on a weekday, there are usually more people available to work. On weekends, holidays, and after hours, staffing is different. We have fewer people available, and the people who do come in are often working overtime.

That means the cost of putting a truck and a driver on the road can be higher.

And honestly, we understand why customers question it. When you're already dealing with a broken-down vehicle or an accident, the last thing you want to hear is that the price is higher because it's Saturday.

But think about it this way:

Call a plumber on a Saturday morning. Call an electrician on a holiday. Call a mechanic after hours.

You're usually paying more because you're asking someone to work outside normal business hours.

Towing is no different.

We don't charge more because we want to. We charge based on what it actually takes to have people available when most people are off work, spending time with their families, or simply enjoying their weekend.

And when you're stranded, you don't want to hear, “Sorry, it's the weekend. Nobody is available.”

You want someone to answer the phone.

You want a truck to show up.

And you want to get home safely.

That availability comes at a cost.

We'll always do our best to be there when you need us—even when everyone else is off the clock. ❤️

Thank you for understanding and supporting the people who keep the roads moving, 24/7.
