Towing prices in Middlesex County, NJ: one booking fee for all 25 towns, mileage quoted first
The same booking fee applies in Carteret, New Brunswick and Monroe alike. The only part that changes is the mileage, which depends on where the car is going, and you hear it on the call before anything moves. Roadside jobs are one flat price each.
The Middlesex County towing formula: booking fee plus mileage to your destination
A tow in Middlesex County is priced as the flat $149 booking fee ($129 online) plus the mileage from the car to the place you choose, quoted on the call; a winch or dollies is added only if the car cannot roll or steer, and only after you agree.
| What | Price | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Booking fee by phone | $149 | Dispatch and hook-up, any hour |
| Booking fee online | $129 | $20 off when you book it yourself |
| Mileage to your destination | Quoted on the call | Before the truck moves. You pick the shop. |
| Jump start · tire · lockout · fuel | One flat price each | No mileage. Tried first when it can solve it. |
| Winch or dollies | Only if the car will not roll | Named before the work, you decide |
| Night, weekend, holiday, fuel surcharge | None | 3 a.m. costs what 3 p.m. costs |
| Storage or release fee | None | The car goes to your shop, not a yard |
The booking fee: $149 by phone, $129 online
It pays for a truck reaching you and the hook-up, anywhere in the county and at any hour. Book by phone and it is $149; use the booking page yourself and it is $129.
Cars, SUVs and pickups on a wheel-lift or flatbed are covered by that fee. Vans, box trucks, buses and tractors need a medium or heavy-duty truck, priced separately on the call.
The mileage
Counted from where the car sits to where it is going. A car from Metuchen to a shop in Edison is a small figure; a car from Old Bridge to a dealer in Piscataway is larger.
Leave the county for the shore, New York or Philadelphia and it becomes a long distance tow, quoted with tolls.
Fleet and shop accounts
Warehouses in Raritan Center and Carteret, dealers on Route 1 and Route 9, and repair shops across the county can hold an account. They get a rate sheet, scheduled pickups and one monthly invoice on net terms.
Ask dispatch or use the contact page to set one up.
Charges that never appear
No night, weekend or holiday premium. No fuel surcharge.
No hook fee on top of the booking fee, no charge for a passenger, and no storage or release fee on a car delivered where you asked.
Card or cash, the price is the same.
Tell dispatch the pickup, the drop-off and the vehicle, and hear the total before anything moves.

A jump start, flat tire change, car lockout or fuel delivery anywhere in Middlesex County is one flat price each with no mileage, and the dispatcher suggests the roadside fix first whenever it might save you a tow.
Jump start
Cars, pickups and diesels, from a professional booster pack. Commuter lots at Metropark and Metuchen, campus lots at Rutgers, home driveways in Old Bridge. If the battery will not hold, the tow can follow on the same visit.
Flat tire change
Your spare fitted wherever you stopped, from a Route 1 jughandle to a Carteret loading area. With no usable spare, the truck carries the car to a tire shop and the mileage is quoted first.
Car lockout
Keys locked in at Menlo Park Mall, Brunswick Square or a New Brunswick parking deck. Opened with proper tools, no broken glass, one flat price.
Fuel delivery
Out of gas on Route 18, Route 9 or I-287. Enough fuel to reach the nearest station, gas or diesel, at any hour.
How to compare towing quotes in Middlesex County before you agree to one
A trustworthy Middlesex County towing quote names a booking fee, a mileage figure to a specific address and the business whose name will be on the receipt; if any of those is missing or vague, the final bill is likely to change when the truck arrives.
Plenty of numbers that come up in a Middlesex towing search belong to call centers with no trucks. They quote low to win the call and let the driver who eventually turns up set the real price.
Three questions separate a real quote from a teaser. What is the booking fee, what is the mileage to this exact address, and whose name is on the receipt. We answer all three before a truck is released.
After a crash the difference matters more. A tow truck that arrives unrequested may take the car to a lot that charges storage by the day, and getting it back can cost more than the tow.
Call us yourself and name the body shop, and the car goes straight there. If a roadside plan or an insurer will reimburse you, keep the itemized receipt and submit it.
Ask for the full number. It is free to hear and it does not change at the curb.

Short answers to what people ask about this page; the dispatcher can answer the rest.
Is the $149 the whole cost?
It covers the truck reaching you and the hook-up. Mileage to your destination is added and quoted on the call, and that is the full bill unless a winch or dollies are needed.
Does it cost more to tow from Monroe than from Carteret?
The booking fee is the same. The mileage depends only on where the car is going, not on how far the pickup is from our yard.
Why is online booking $129?
You fill in the details yourself, so you save $20. On a busy highway, calling is quicker.
Do you charge more at night?
No. The fee and the mileage are the same at any hour, on any day, including holidays.
Is there a storage fee?
No. We have no storage lot, and every tow ends at the shop, dealer or home you choose.
Can I get a receipt for my insurance company?
Yes. Every job comes with an itemized receipt showing the booking fee, the mileage and any extra work.
Anything else? Ask on the call.
