How does towing work in Back Bay?
Inside the core of the city the hard part is rarely the tow itself, it is the enforcement layered onto one of the oldest street grids in the country. The I-93 O'Neill Tunnel runs under downtown with no shoulders, Back Bay and Beacon Hill are strict resident-permit districts, and street cleaning runs through December 31 in the North End, South End and Beacon Hill rather than ending November 30. On a declared snow emergency the posted arteries ban parking on both sides, and a City of Boston tow lands at the city lot at 200 Frontage Road, where the city's published fee is $90 to tow and $3 an hour up to $15 a day to store. TD Garden event nights and Fenway Park's 81 home games add their own tow-zone pressure. Because the city can relocate a car to clear a street, a missing vehicle has not always been impounded, so the lookup at cityofboston.gov/towing/search is the first place to check.
Back Bay is a strict resident-permit district, and the permits are zone-specific, so a Back Bay sticker does not cover South Boston and the reverse is just as true. Permits are free and good for two years, but they do not override meters, street cleaning or a snow emergency. On Patriots' Day the Marathon route turns whole streets into posted tow zones, and cars left on them get taken. The rest of the year the pressure is ordinary meter and permit enforcement on Boylston, Newbury and Commonwealth Avenue. A city tow lands at 200 Frontage Road, where the fee is $90 and storage is $3 an hour up to $15 a day. The operator we send covers the breakdown and the private lockout; when the city has the car, we tell you which lot and what to bring.
How much does towing cost in Back Bay?
Every tow in Back Bay is quoted before the truck rolls, and the number you hear on the phone is the number on the invoice. A wheel lift and a flatbed are different prices because they are different jobs. Confirm the method for all-wheel drive, electric vehicles, and anything low-clearance, damaged or non-rolling.
After-hours work is quoted on the call, not added at the drop. If what you need is a jump start or an unlock rather than a tow, we will tell you that instead.

Searching for a tow late at night usually means something already went wrong tonight.

Ask the operator for a window before you agree to the job.

What do Back Bay residents ask about towing?
How soon can an operator arrive in Back Bay?
It depends on where in Back Bay you are and which operator is free, so nobody can honestly quote an arrival time before they know both. Farther addresses take more driving time. Ask the operator for a window when they take the job.
Do you have flatbeds for Back Bay?
This brand owns no trucks. Tell us what you are driving and we line up an operator who can quote a flatbed when all-wheel drive, four-wheel drive, electric vehicles, or anything low-clearance, damaged or non-rolling needs all four wheels off the ground.
What about Back Bay's snow emergencies and the difference between a City of Boston tow and a street relocation?
Back Bay is one of the strictest resident-permit districts in Boston, so an out-of-zone car parked overnight is a tow waiting to happen. The assigned operator accounts for local road conditions, traffic and access.
How much will a tow cost in Back Bay?
You get a price before an operator is dispatched, and that price is the price. Heavy-duty, long-distance and specialty work, motorcycle, RV and exotic, are quoted separately. If what you actually need is a jump start or an unlock, we will say so instead of selling you a tow.
How much does the city charge if my car is towed in Back Bay?
The City of Boston publishes its fees. A City of Boston tow is $90 and storage is $3 an hour, up to $15 a day, at the city lot at 200 Frontage Road. You redeem it with a valid license, your plate number, proof of registration and proof of insurance, and payment is cash or a card (a 2.5% fee applies to cards). A street-cleaning tow is billed separately at $108 with $35 a day storage. Those are the city's numbers, not ours.
