Long-Distance Towing

What Is Long-Distance Towing?

Long-distance towing is the service you need when your vehicle has to travel more than 50 miles or across state lines. This is different from a quick tow to a local repair shop. Long-distance jobs require more planning, better equipment, and experienced drivers who know how to handle extended trips. You might need this service if you are relocating to another state, buying a car from a distant seller, or if your vehicle breaks down far from home. We handle these situations with the same care and professionalism as any local job.

Most long-distance towing is done with flatbed trucks because they provide the safest transport. Your vehicle sits on a flat platform with all four wheels off the ground. This protects it from wear and damage during the trip. Whether you are moving a sedan, SUV, truck, or specialty vehicle, we have the equipment to get it there safely. Our drivers are trained to secure vehicles properly and plan routes that avoid rough roads and construction delays. Long-distance towing is more involved than local work, but we make it as smooth and stress-free as possible.

Common Reasons for Long-Distance Towing

• Relocating to a new state and transporting your vehicle
• Purchasing a car from an out-of-state seller
• Breakdowns during road trips or vacations
• Transporting a specialty or classic car to an event or buyer
• Military deployments or job relocations
• Sending a vehicle to a specialized repair facility
• Returning a rental or leased vehicle to a distant location

No matter why you need long-distance towing, we treat your vehicle with care. We understand that your car is valuable, and a long trip increases the chance of something going wrong if the job is not done right. That is why we use top-quality equipment, maintain our trucks regularly, and hire drivers who take pride in their work. When you trust us with your vehicle, we take that responsibility seriously. A reliable towing company always puts vehicle safety first on long trips.

Planning Your Long-Distance Tow

Scheduling a long-distance tow requires more coordination than a local job. The first step is to call us with the details. We need to know where the vehicle is, where it needs to go, and when you need it delivered. We also ask about the type of vehicle and its condition. This helps us plan the right equipment and route. If your car is not running or has damage, let us know so we can prepare for any special needs.

What to Expect When You Book

Once we have the information, we provide a detailed quote. Long-distance towing costs more than local service because of the time, fuel, and wear on equipment. We give you an honest price upfront with no hidden fees. The quote includes the distance, any tolls or permits, and the type of equipment needed. If you need the vehicle delivered by a specific date, we factor that into the schedule. Most long-distance tows can be completed within a few days, depending on the distance.

Preparing Your Vehicle

Before we pick up your vehicle, remove all personal items from the interior. We are not responsible for items left inside, and they can shift during transport and cause damage. Make sure the gas tank is no more than half full to reduce weight and comply with safety regulations. If your car has any loose parts or accessories, secure them or remove them before the tow. These small steps help ensure a smooth and safe transport.

If you are working with a dealership, repair shop, or other business, we can coordinate directly with them. We understand that long-distance moves often involve multiple parties, and we do our best to make the logistics simple. Whether you need your car picked up from a seller or delivered to a specific facility, we handle the details so you do not have to. Our team in Woonsocket has experience managing these types of arrangements.
