Long-Distance Towing

What Counts as Long-Distance Towing?

Long-distance towing typically means any trip over 50 miles. This could be from Poway to San Diego, Los Angeles, or even across state lines. Unlike quick local tows that take 20 minutes, long-distance jobs require more planning, specialized equipment, and experienced drivers who understand highway transport.

We handle all types of long-distance towing situations:

• •Breakdowns during road trips: Get you and your car back home safely.
• •Vehicle purchases: Transport your newly bought car from another city.
• •Relocations: Moving to Poway? We'll bring your vehicle with you.
• •College student moves: Transport cars to and from school.
• •Specialty vehicle transport: Classic cars and luxury vehicles going to shows or storage.

Why We Use Flatbed Trucks for Long Trips

For long-distance towing, we almost always use flatbed trucks instead of wheel-lift or dolly systems. Here's why that matters. When your car sits on a flatbed with all four wheels off the ground, there's zero stress on the transmission, tires, or suspension. Over a 200-mile trip, that protection really adds up.

Flatbed towing also keeps your vehicle cleaner and safer from road debris. Highway driving means high speeds and lots of rocks, gravel, and other hazards. Your car rides safely above all that. Plus, secure strapping prevents any shifting during the long haul, so your vehicle arrives in exactly the same condition it left.

Planning Your Long-Distance Tow

Long-distance towing requires more coordination than a quick local job. When you call us, we'll ask about your vehicle type, current location, destination, and timeline. This helps us plan the most efficient route and provide accurate pricing upfront. No surprises when we arrive.

We charge based on mileage for long-distance jobs, which is standard in the industry. The further the distance, the more planning and fuel costs involved. However, we keep our rates fair and competitive. Many customers find that professional towing is actually cheaper than trying to limp a damaged vehicle home themselves, especially when you factor in the risk of causing more damage.

We also coordinate timing carefully. Long-distance tows can take several hours depending on distance and traffic. We'll give you realistic estimates and keep you updated throughout the process. If you need immediate help after a breakdown, we prioritize urgent situations and dispatch a truck as quickly as possible.

Experience You Can Trust

Long-distance towing is different from local work. Our drivers understand highway regulations, weight restrictions, and safe loading procedures for extended transport. They know how to navigate California's diverse terrain, from coastal highways to mountain passes. Your vehicle is in good hands.

We've completed long-distance tows from Poway to San Francisco, Las Vegas, Phoenix, and everywhere in between. Some customers even need cross-country transport, which we can arrange through our trusted network of professional towers. No job is too big or too far when your vehicle needs to be moved safely.
