Many NYC blocks are one-way with no place to U-turn. Our driver may need to stage on a cross-street and walk to your vehicle to assess. Tell dispatch the block direction so we approach the right way.

Most NYC parking enforcement allows tow trucks to double-park briefly during a hookup. We don't get to use a hydrant or a bus stop, though — please don't direct us to one.

Standard $249 / hour rate, same for every borough.
