What affects the cost of a tow?
Understand the details that affect a towing quote: distance, vehicle condition, access and timing.
Distance and destination
A useful quote starts with the complete pickup and drop-off addresses. The route and the full journey matter, so confirm the destination before booking and tell the operator if it changes.
Vehicle and loading requirements
A small car, a modified 4WD and a piece of machinery can need different transport arrangements. Tell the operator the make and model, any modifications, and whether the vehicle can roll and steer. For equipment, provide the actual weight and dimensions.
Access and timing
Underground parking, narrow driveways and locked wheels can change what is needed to load a vehicle. Give these details upfront. Also confirm your preferred date and time so availability can be checked.
What to confirm before booking
Ask for the total quoted price, what it covers, and whether changes to the route, access or waiting time could affect it. Mates Towing confirms the job details and availability before accepting a booking.
