How much does towing a moving truck cost in Medford?
Rental or loaded moving truck broken down in Medford? We line up an operator with the right weight-rated wrecker for U-Haul, Penske, and Budget trucks.
Why moving truck pricing costs what it does in Medford
A rental or loaded moving truck around the campus density around Harvard, MIT and Tufts and the low bridges on Memorial and Storrow drives needs a weight-rated wrecker, and a cargo van is a different job from a loaded 26-foot box truck. A tall box truck is a well-known hazard on the region's low parkway bridges, so the size and load are confirmed before dispatch.
Medford runs on the I-93 and Route 16 interchange with Tufts on its southern edge and the Mystic River through the middle. Highway breakdowns and commuter volume drive most of the work, and a tow here goes to Medford's own lot at the state-capped rate.
How we work Medford
Medford runs on two engines. Tufts University's main campus straddles the Medford and Somerville line, so student move-in, event parking and the September rush all land here. And the interchange of I-93 and Route 16 along the Mystic River puts highway breakdown and crash recovery in the mix. As a separate city, Medford's tows follow the state DPU maximum rates rather than the Boston lot's fees, a base tow up to $132 and storage up to $35 a day. Away from the campus and the highway it is ordinary residential work, lockouts and dead batteries on quiet streets. The operator we send covers the I-93 corridor, the campus and the neighborhood, and points you to the right municipal process for the car.

Common Medford cost questions
How much does towing a moving truck cost in Medford?
Towing a rental or loaded moving truck in Medford is quoted before dispatch, because a cargo van and a loaded 26-foot box truck need completely different equipment. Tell us the size, the rental company and whether it's loaded, and we line up an operator with a weight-rated wrecker for it.
Do you tow U-Haul, Penske, or Budget rental trucks in Medford?
Yes, we can line up an operator for U-Haul, Penske, or Budget trucks in Medford. Tell us the size and whether it's loaded or empty so they can quote a weight-rated wrecker for that job.
Can you tow a loaded moving truck in Medford, or does it need to be emptied first?
It can be towed loaded in Medford if the weight is within the wrecker's rating, which we confirm on the call. For an especially heavy load, we may recommend a heavy-duty truck instead, quoted separately.
What if my moving truck breaks down mid-move in Medford?
Call (857) 858-5057 and leave your location and the truck size. We line up a weight-rated wrecker for Medford and quote the tow before dispatch, so your move doesn't stall longer than it has to.
