Why out-of-town tow pricing costs what it does in Somerville
The Mass Pike runs west from here toward Worcester, Springfield and Albany, and a student car that has reached the end of its life at Harvard, MIT or Tufts is a common long-distance origin. The distance price gets stated at the start and covers the reach to get to you as well as the run itself.
Somerville is the densest city in New England, with Tufts on the Medford line and almost no off-street parking. Permit enforcement is tight, a claim check for a towed car is obtained at the police station on Washington Street, and the tow is capped by the state DPU maximums rather than the Boston schedule.
How we work Somerville
Somerville is the densest city in New England, and that scarcity is the whole towing story. Every legal space is spoken for, off-street parking barely exists, and residential tows, lockouts and dead batteries run constant on the tight blocks. Tufts sits on the northern edge, adding a student rhythm to the pressure. A tow here does not go to the Boston lot: the vehicle is held by a contracted company at the state DPU maximum rates, up to $132 to release and up to $35 a day storage, and you pick up the claim check at the police station, 220 Washington Street. The operator we send covers the dense streets with a truck that fits them, and points you to the Somerville process rather than the Boston one.

Common Somerville cost questions
How much does a long-distance tow cost from Somerville?
Out-of-metro tows from Somerville are priced for the whole route rather than by a running meter, so a run to Providence, Worcester or New York is one quoted number that already includes the miles. Call (857) 858-5057 for a route quote.
Is long-distance towing priced per mile in Somerville?
A base plus a per-loaded-mile rate is how the quote gets built, but what you're given is one number before an operator hooks up. Mileage isn't added at delivery. The figure quoted on the phone covers door to door.
Can you line up an out-of-state tow from Somerville?
Boston is where the New England interstates meet, so people ask about runs toward Providence, Hartford, New York and Portland. We line up an operator for the quoted route. The full route is quoted before dispatch, including the reach needed to get to you.
Is a long-distance tow cheaper than shipping my car?
This site doesn't publish a comparison to broker car shipping. Call (857) 858-5057 for the operator's route quote and compare that number to any shipping quote you already have.
