How much does towing a moving truck cost in Somerville?
Rental or loaded moving truck broken down in Somerville? 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 Somerville
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.
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 towing a moving truck cost in Somerville?
Towing a rental or loaded moving truck in Somerville 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 Somerville?
Yes, we can line up an operator for U-Haul, Penske, or Budget trucks in Somerville. 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 Somerville, or does it need to be emptied first?
It can be towed loaded in Somerville 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 Somerville?
Call (857) 858-5057 and leave your location and the truck size. We line up a weight-rated wrecker for Somerville and quote the tow before dispatch, so your move doesn't stall longer than it has to.
