What drives the price

Why car lockout pricing costs what it does in Melrose

A lockout around Route 1, the Tobin Bridge and the pull of Logan across Chelsea, Revere and Everett is quoted before the truck rolls, with after-hours calls stated on the phone rather than added at the door. The operator confirms the unlock method for your door on the call, since a modern electronic lock is not the same job as an older mechanical one.

Melrose is an I-93 bedroom community on Route 99, mostly quiet residential blocks that spike with winter storms and commuter breakdowns. A tow here goes to Melrose's own lot at the state-capped rate.

Local context

How we work Melrose

Melrose is a bedroom community off I-93, quiet residential streets with Route 99 running through and an easy commute into the city. The everyday towing need is small and routine: lockouts, jump starts and cars that will not start on a cold morning. Winter brings the busier stretch, when a snowstorm and the parking bans that follow it move cars off the arteries and put stuck vehicles in the way. As its own city, a tow here follows the state DPU maximum rates, a base tow up to $132 and storage up to $35 a day, rather than the Boston lot fees. The operator we send covers the residential streets and the snow-route work, and points you to the Melrose process for an impounded car.
