How Much Does Towing Cost? Per-Mile Rates for 10, 50 and 100 Miles

Towing · 6 min read

Yes — Jetrans Movers provides complete door-to-door relocation, freight forwarding, vehicle towing, and container shipping between your pickup address and your destination. Here is everything you need to know about customs clearance, transit times, container/flatbed options, and pricing before planning your move.

Local towing uses a simple formula: a base hookup fee plus a per-mile rate.

Moving & Vehicle Towing Services: Pay-as-You-Go Pricing — How It Works

Our pay-as-you-go formula is a base hookup fee of $35–$150 plus $2.50–$7.00 per mile. Worked examples:

  • 10 miles: about $60 to $220
  • 50 miles: about $160 to $500
  • 100 miles: about $285 to $850

Where you land in each range depends on vehicle size, access, time of day and whether the car is non-running. For long distances, a flat rate is cheaper: long-distance flatbed transport is typically $1,200 USD to $2,800 USD.

When a flat rate wins

Past a couple of hundred miles the per-mile total climbs quickly, so a flat-rate flatbed transport is usually the better deal.

Choose your service: household, towing or bundle

When you request a quote you pick one of three options, so you only pay for what you need.

  • Household Move Only: residential and commercial relocation
  • Vehicle Towing Only: flatbed towing, enclosed transport or emergency recovery
  • Combined Household + Vehicle Bundle: save 25% by shipping furniture and vehicles together, with the saving confirmed in your written quote

Tell us whether the vehicle runs or needs a winch, and whether you want an open flatbed or an enclosed carrier. The quote form asks for both.
