How Much Does a Tow Truck Cost in Boston? (2026 Pricing Guide)

If you're stranded on the Mass Pike at midnight, the last thing you want is to wonder whether the tow truck driver is about to triple the bill when they arrive. Here's the honest answer: a standard local tow in Boston typically costs between $95 and $185 in 2026, depending on distance, vehicle type, and time of day.

BosTowing quotes flat rates over the phone before a truck rolls. No hourly meter, no surprise per-mile fees, no after-hours upcharges hidden in the fine print.

Three things move the price up: (1) distance — anything over 10 miles starts adding mileage; (2) vehicle weight — heavy-duty work for box trucks and RVs is its own pricing tier; (3) specialty equipment — flatbeds for luxury, AWD, EV, and low-clearance vehicles cost slightly more than a wheel-lift because the truck and the labor are heavier.

What doesn't move the price: time of day, weather, or whether it's a holiday. BosTowing dispatches 24/7/365 at the same flat rate.

If you want the exact price for your situation, call (617) 908-2024. The dispatcher will quote you before sending a truck — no obligation.
