Ottawa Towing & 24/7 Tow Truck Services

Local towing starts at $120. Lockouts and battery boosts start at $80. The final price depends on the vehicle, the distance and the equipment needed, and dispatch confirms it on the phone before a truck is sent. There is no after-hours, weekend or holiday premium. Typical totals are in our towing rates guide.

It depends on where you are, which of our ten trucks is closest, traffic and weather. Dispatch sees truck positions when you call and gives you a realistic arrival time, not a slogan. You get a text when the driver is on the way.

Yes. Unless police have ordered the tow, you pick the destination: your mechanic, a dealership, home or another address. We confirm it before the tow begins and never steer you to a shop that pays us.

Ask for the company name and certificate number on the door. If you would rather have a truck you chose, call us and wait in your car.

Yes, where stopping is permitted. Tell dispatch your direction of travel, the nearest exit and where you can safely wait. Stay in the vehicle with hazards on if you are on a live shoulder.

Many policies cover towing after a collision, and some include roadside assistance. Coverage varies by insurer and policy, so check yours. We provide the documentation your claim needs and bill the insurer directly where the policy allows. Details on the insurance approved towing page.

Your location or nearest intersection, what you drive, what happened, whether the vehicle can roll and steer, and where it should go. That is enough for dispatch to pick the right truck and give you an exact price.
