Why flatbed pricing costs what it does in Melrose
Rental fleets near Logan and the newer stock across Malden and Melrose mean flatbed is the default rather than the upgrade. Add crash-damaged vehicles off Route 1 and the Tobin Bridge, and this becomes a deck-first market, with the price quoted before dispatch.
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.
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.

Common Melrose cost questions
How much does flatbed towing cost in Melrose?
Flatbed towing in Melrose is quoted before dispatch, and it costs more than a wheel lift because all four wheels come off the ground and the setup takes longer. Mileage beyond what the quote covers is stated in the quote.
Why does my car need a flatbed in Melrose?
All-wheel drive vehicles, every electric vehicle, low-clearance and lowered cars, and anything damaged or non-rolling need a flatbed so nothing drags and no driveline takes damage. We line up a flatbed for those, and you're told why on the call.
Is flatbed always more expensive than a regular tow?
The flatbed base is higher, yes. For the cars that need one it prevents damage that costs far more than the difference. For a standard sedan that rolls, the assigned operator may quote a wheel lift instead of a deck.
