What do drivers ask about Emergency Towing?

How much does an emergency tow cost in Richmond?

Every emergency tow is priced by the operator before the driver rolls, based on distance and vehicle size, and the operator confirms your full price before you say yes. Race weekends and ice-storm calls are quoted the same way as any other call. Heavy-duty and long-distance jobs get a separate written quote.

How fast can someone get to me?

That depends on where you are and which operator is free when you call, so we do not publish an average. Richmond Core and Henrico sit closest to the most operators. Chesterfield, the Tri-Cities, and the Western Edge counties are a longer run. The line takes calls 24/7 - tell us your location and we match you with the nearest operator who can take the job.

What happens if I break down on the I-95/I-64 overlap downtown?

VDOT's own studies call the downtown overlap one of the highest-crash, most congested corridors in the region, so getting off the live lane matters more here than almost anywhere else in the metro. VDOT's Safety Service Patrol runs free roadside help on I-95, I-64, and I-295 in the Richmond area, jump starts, fuel, tire changes, and getting you safely off the roadway, but it does not perform repairs and it is not a tow company. Call us for the tow itself and we match you with an operator, then stay in the vehicle with your seatbelt on and hazards flashing until help arrives.

Will you come to I-95, I-64, I-295, the Powhite Parkway, or the Downtown Expressway?

Yes. I-95 through Petersburg, downtown, and up to Ashland, I-64 from Short Pump through the downtown overlap out to Sandston, I-295 around the east side, and both toll roads, the Powhite Parkway and the Downtown Expressway, we cover every major corridor in the metro. On VDOT-coordinated freeway incidents the operators follow standard scene protocol. For private calls on shoulders, we dispatch an operator directly.

Do you accept insurance or motor club dispatches?

If you have roadside coverage through AAA, Allstate, Geico, USAA, State Farm, or another motor club, call your insurer first so they cover the tow - they dispatch from their own operator list. If you would rather arrange it yourself, call us and we match you with an operator who confirms the price first.
