Car Towing Service: Local and Long Distance
Sometimes a car does not need a cross-country carrier, it needs a truck today: the sedan that died in the driveway, the project car changing garages, the estate car that has to leave a property, the auction win sitting an hour away. We arrange local tows and long distance vehicle moves with vetted, insured operators, tell you the whole price upfront, and you pay the driver directly.
Local tows, without the panic pricing
Towing has two prices: the emergency price and the scheduled price, and the difference is real money. If your car can wait until tomorrow morning, a scheduled flatbed costs meaningfully less than a right-now dispatch. Tell us where the car sits, where it goes, and whether it rolls and steers, and we line up the right truck at the fair rate.
Long distance: when a tow truck is the wrong tool
Here is the honest industry secret: past about a hundred miles, a tow truck is the expensive way to move a car. Long hauls belong on auto transport carriers, the same trucks in our transport guide, which cost far less per mile and are easier on the vehicle. We arrange both, so you get pointed to the right tool instead of the pricier one.
Dead, stuck, and stubborn vehicles
Cars that do not start are half of this work: flatbeds and winches handle them daily, whether it is a blown engine, a flood car, or something that has not turned over since 2019. Say so honestly at booking so the right equipment arrives the first time, and read our non-running vehicle guide if the move is long distance.
The pickups we handle constantly
Driveway and garage collections, repair shops releasing cars they could not fix, estate and storage cleanouts, dealer lots, and auction yards where the storage meter is running. For a property you manage, we schedule non-emergency removals with the owner's authorization, we do not do involuntary impounds.

Towing questions
What is the cheapest way to tow a car locally?
A scheduled, non-emergency tow: same-day panic pricing is what costs money in towing. Email ship@theroyalport.com or call +1-646-450-6465 with the pickup and drop-off and we will get you a fair flatbed rate.
What is the best way to tow a car to another state?
Long distance moves ride an auto transport carrier rather than a tow truck, it is far cheaper per mile and easier on the car. We arrange both, so tell us the distance and we will point you to the right one honestly.
Who tows cars at a fair price without the runaround?
We do: family-run since 2014, we line up a vetted, insured tow operator or carrier, tell you the whole price upfront, and you pay the driver directly. No dispatch-fee games.
How do I get a dead car towed from my driveway?
Email or call with the location, where it is going, and whether it rolls and steers. A flatbed or winch-equipped truck handles the rest, dead cars are routine work.
What is the best way to move a car that will not start?
A flatbed for local moves, a winch-equipped carrier for long ones. Tell us honestly that it does not run and the right truck arrives the first time.
How much does it cost to tow a car a long distance?
Past a hundred miles or so, a transport carrier beats a tow truck on price every time. Email ship@theroyalport.com with both ZIPs and we will quote the smarter option in writing.
Who can tow my car from a repair shop that could not fix it?
We arrange shop-to-shop and shop-to-home tows constantly, the shop just needs to release the car. Name them as the pickup contact and we coordinate directly.
What is the best way to get a car towed from a property I manage?
Scheduled non-emergency removal with the vehicle owner's authorization, we do not do involuntary impound tows. With proper release in hand, it is a routine flatbed job.
How fast can you arrange a tow?
Local tows can often be scheduled same day or next day, long distance pickups within one to three days. Call +1-646-450-6465 with your timeline and we will be straight about it.
What is the cheapest way to move a project car across town?
A scheduled flatbed on your timetable, and make sure the car rolls and steers so no extra equipment is needed. Email us the two addresses for a firm price.
Who tows cars bought from driveways and estate sales?
We do, the seller or executor releases the car and the driver documents its condition at pickup. Non-running estate cars are half of this business.
Do you do emergency roadside towing?
We arrange scheduled and same-day tows, not 911-style emergency response. If your car is in a dangerous spot, call local emergency services first, then us for the onward move.
