One of the most common questions we get is 'How much will a tow cost?' The answer depends on several factors, but we believe in total transparency. Here's an honest breakdown of towing costs in Melbourne.
What Affects the Price?
The main factors are: distance (how far the tow is), vehicle type (standard car vs SUV vs motorcycle), time of day (after-hours and weekends may have surcharges), and special requirements (accident recovery, winching, underground car parks).
Average Towing Costs in Melbourne (2026)
For a standard car tow within Melbourne's metro area, expect to pay between $80–$150 for short distances (under 15km) and $150–$300 for longer distances. Motorcycle towing is typically $70–$120. These are general ranges — always get a quote first.
How Any Car Towing Melbourne Keeps Costs Low
We keep our overheads low and pass the savings to you. No call-out fees on standard tows, no hidden surcharges, and upfront pricing before we dispatch. We quote a flat rate based on your pickup and drop-off — no nasty surprises when the truck arrives.
Watch Out for These Red Flags
Be cautious of tow companies that: won't give a quote over the phone, charge by the hour instead of flat rate, add 'fuel surcharges' or 'admin fees' after the fact, or pressure you to use a specific mechanic. A reputable company like Any Car Towing Melbourne will always be upfront about costs.
