Long-distance towing is priced on loaded miles — the distance from pickup to your destination — plus any winching or special handling the vehicle needs. When you call 760-256-5007 we ask for the pickup point, the delivery address, and what you're driving, and you get a single all-in number. That's the number on the invoice when the car is off the deck. We don't add fuel surcharges at the destination or "wait time" you weren't told about.
Why the flatbed matters on a long run: two hours of dragging an AWD, EV, or anything with a marginal transmission on a wheel-lift is how a $300 tow becomes a $4,000 repair. Every long-distance job we run goes on the deck of an International MV607 — all four wheels off the road, four-point tie-downs, checked at every fuel stop.
What you get with City Towing on a long haul
- A local company, not a broker. Many "long-distance towing" listings are lead sellers that flip your job to a subcontractor. Our driver, our truck, our insurance, start to finish.
- Photos at pickup and delivery. Timestamped, sent to your phone, so there's never a question about condition.
- Keys or no keys. A dead, keyless, or non-rolling vehicle just means a winch load. Quoted up front.
- Delivery to the exact spot. Dealership service lane, a body shop's back lot, your driveway, a storage unit. If a flatbed can physically get there, we'll put it there.
Where we pick up
Anywhere in our home territory — Barstow, Yermo, Lenwood, Daggett, Hinkley, Helendale, Newberry Springs, Fort Irwin, Ludlow, Lucerne Valley, Baker — and along I-15, I-40, CA-58 and CA-247. If you broke down in the middle of the Mojave and need to get the car all the way home, that's exactly the call we're built for.
