Why motorcycle tow pricing costs what it does in Somerville
Around the campus density around Harvard, MIT and Tufts and the low bridges on Memorial and Storrow drives, a motorcycle tow is chock-and-strap work first, with a flatbed for a sport, touring or damaged bike that will not sit upright. Narrow, busy streets are the reason the operator positions the truck carefully before the bike moves, and the price is quoted before it rolls.
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 motorcycle towing cost in Somerville?
Motorcycle towing in Somerville is quoted before the truck rolls, and the quote covers the whole job rather than a starting figure that grows on arrival. A local chock-and-strap tow and a flatbed run for a sport, touring or damaged bike are different jobs, so tell us which bike and where it is and you get one number.
Does my motorcycle need a flatbed instead of a chock in Somerville?
A flatbed is the right call for a bike that won't sit upright safely, a low-clearance sport bike, or anything with fairing damage. In Somerville the assigned operator confirms the method on the call and quotes the flatbed rate up front if that's what the bike needs.
Is motorcycle towing more expensive at night in Somerville?
Calls between 10pm and 6am may add an after-hours amount if the operator quotes one. Ask before anyone is dispatched. There is no published weekend markup on this site.

Yes. The assigned operator can quote chock-and-strap and flatbed trucks across Somerville when they have that rig. Ask on the call how they plan to strap the bike. Call (857) 858-5057 for a quote.
