Pets ride in the cab with you, not in the towed vehicle. The cab of a wheel-lift or flatbed has bench seats with seatbelts; bring a leash. Most carriers prefer animals are secured for the cab ride.

If you have a service animal or special-needs pet, tell dispatch ahead of time so the driver expects to coordinate. Aggressive dogs need a muzzle for safety.

Same $99/hr rate. The vehicle on the deck stays empty — animals never ride in the towed car.
