What 24 hour towing costs in Irvington, NJ: $149 to book, $129 online, and no late-night rate at all
Nobody should have to bargain on a dark Irvington sidewalk, so the fee lives on this page. Below: what the $149 buys, the few extras that can honestly follow, the extras that never will, and how one short call gets you the exact total.
How an Irvington tow is priced: $149 to book, the miles, and that is all
Book by phone and the Irvington fee is $149; book online and it is $129. Add the per-mile charge to your chosen address, which the dispatcher says out loud, and that is the whole bill unless a stuck car needs a winch or dollies you have already approved.

| Booking fee by phone | $149 | Dispatch and hook-up, any hour |

The booking fee: $149 by phone, $129 online
This fee pays for the truck coming to you and for loading the car, and it does not change between noon and 4 a.m. Calling costs $149, and the online form costs $129 because it saves the dispatcher's time. It covers cars, SUVs and pickups on a wheel-lift or rollback; vans, box trucks and buses need medium or heavy-duty equipment and are priced separately.
The mileage
Measured from the car's spot to the drop-off, at a per-mile rate given before you say yes. Within Irvington, or over to Union, Hillside, Maplewood or Newark, that is a short hop. Out to the shore, into New York or beyond New Jersey it becomes long distance towing, quoted as one figure with tolls and the return trip built in.
Winch, dollies, recovery
A car that rolls and steers never sees these. They exist for the Camry with its front corner folded in at an Exit 143 ramp, the sedan that sat in a flooded dip near I-78, or the SUV with its wheels jammed hard left. Most of the time the dispatcher can tell from your description and includes it in the quote; if the driver finds a surprise, you hear the number first.
Charges that never appear
No night, weekend or holiday fee. No fuel surcharge. No charge for one or two riders in the cab.
No storage or release fee when the car goes straight to your chosen address. Getting a quote is free and commits you to nothing.
The $149 stays the same whether the shops on Springfield Avenue closed an hour ago or open in an hour.
Tell dispatch the pickup spot, the drop-off and the vehicle, and the total comes back in seconds.
Get a quote nowBook online · $129Jump, tire, lockout or fuel anywhere in Irvington: one flat charge each
A jump start, a spare tire fitted, a locked door opened or fuel delivered anywhere in Irvington is one flat charge with no mileage, and on most nights the car drives away afterward.
Jump start
Battery gone on a side street off Lyons Avenue, outside the bus terminal or in an Upper Irvington driveway. Our packs handle cars, trucks and diesels; if the battery will not take a charge, the tow is priced then and there.
Flat tire change
The spare goes on at the curb on Springfield Avenue or Union Avenue with the truck shielding you from traffic. No usable spare? The car goes to the tire shop you pick at the tow rate.
Car lockout
Keys locked inside near Civic Square, by Irvington Park or on Stuyvesant Avenue. Opened with proper tools, without broken glass or scratched paint.
Fuel delivery
Out of gas on Chancellor Avenue, Grove Street or near a Parkway exit. Enough gas or diesel to reach an open pump, at any hour.
Not sure you need a tow? Say so. The roadside charge is lower, so that is what gets tried first.
Call (908) 666-3168What we towWhy a 3 a.m. quote in Irvington should match a 3 p.m. quote
Night is when towing bills in and around Irvington tend to balloon, so we charge the daytime figure after dark and put it in writing; a quote with an after-hours line tells you more extras are coming.
Some outfits bill extra after dark because the caller has no bargaining power at 3 a.m. on Clinton Avenue. Our drivers are on a scheduled night shift and already sitting in the trucks. There is no one to wake, so there is no fee for waking them.
The bigger leak is the yard. A truck nobody called drags a crashed car off Springfield Avenue, and by the time the owner locates it the bill has grown a daily rate and a release charge. Naming your own tow and your own body shop at the scene closes that door.
Covered by a motor club or a towing rider on your policy? Pay our flat figure, keep the itemized slip, and file it for the refund. After midnight that tends to beat sitting on hold while the club hunts for a contractor.
The quote is free, flat, and the same at every hour.
Call (908) 666-3168Back to 24 hour towing IrvingtonPricing: common questions
Short answers to what people ask about this page; the dispatcher can answer the rest.
Is a night tow in Irvington more expensive than a daytime tow?
Not by a dollar. The booking fee, the mileage rate and the roadside prices you would get at lunchtime apply at 2 a.m., on Sundays and on the Fourth of July.
Why does booking online save $20?
Filling in the form yourself frees the dispatcher for the next caller, so you keep the saving. Stranded in a live lane, though? Just phone; speed matters more than twenty dollars.
Can the price go up after I agree?
The $149 is locked. Mileage and any extra equipment follow what you told dispatch, and if the driver discovers something new, like a steering lock that needs dollies, he names that figure before doing the work.
Will I get charged for storage?
No. Our tows end at the address you pick, a garage, a dealer, your own curb, so there is nothing to store. Holding a car is only an option if you request it, with the rate given up front.
Is the receipt good enough for insurance or a roadside plan?
Yes. It breaks out the booking fee, mileage and any winch or dolly work, printed by the driver or emailed by dispatch, in the format adjusters and reimbursement teams want.
How can I pay in the middle of the night?
The driver carries a card reader for Visa, Mastercard, Amex and Discover, takes Apple Pay and Google Pay, and accepts cash. Businesses with an account are billed monthly instead.
Anything else? Ask on the call.
