Understanding the formula

The calculator uses the following formula to calculate the total towing cost:

Total Cost = (Base Rate × Distance) + Additional Services + (Towing Time × $20)

This formula takes into account the distance being towed, the base rate per mile, any additional services, and the time spent on towing.

Example

For example, if you are towing a car for 50 miles at a base rate of $2.50 per mile, with $50 in additional services, and the towing time is 2 hours, the calculation would be:

Total Cost = (2.50 × 50) + 50 + (2 × 20) = 125 + 50 + 40 = $215

Practical tips

  • Be as accurate as possible with the distance and time inputs for the most accurate results
  • Check with your local towing services for typical base rates and additional service charges
  • This calculator provides an estimate - actual costs may vary based on location and specific service provider
