Before hiring a towing company you should take the necessary steps to make sure your vehicle is protected from all areas such as,
  • Thieves 
  • Car damaged
  • Hidden Fees
  • Long ETA's
When it comes to choosing a company to tow your vehicle you want to make sure that the tow truck company is a well known tow truck company. Going with the cheapest towing company possible is not always the best option. Make sure the business is registered with the state and has insurance. You have the right to ask for the licensed and insurance number before they lay one finger on your vehicle. Believe or not Tampa, Florida has hundreds of towing companies that operated without insurance. Instead they make you sign paperwork that they are not responsible for any damages to your vehicle. That right there is a read flag and you should call another towing company immediately!

Car Damaged - The cheapest and the faster companies are not always the best option. There's a reason why some companies offer low prices. One reason why is because the company itself is not an legit company. Do your research when deciding a towing company in Tampa, Florida. When a non legit legal towing company gets a hold of your vehicle 9 time out of 10 they are not responsible for any car damaged that may occur when transport your vehicle in Tampa, Florida. Hire a towing company such as Tampa Towing Services who is licensed and insured to protect your vehicle no matter what. 

Hidden Fees - Before accepting for a towing services for your vehicle be sure to ask all questions! Do not be afraid to ask the final price, it's your money and you have the right to know every detail of the cost of towing services. Beware of towing companies claiming to only charge $50 for a tow. Several towing companies will not inform the customer that it is an Towing additional cost for anything over 5 miles. That 15 mile tow can cost you over $100 in a matter of seconds. Tampa towing services offers flat rate prices and will not charge any hidden fees. Trust a towing company that do not trick you without forming you the towing price.

LONG ETA - When hiring a towing company you can almost be certain that you will be waiting for a tow truck to reach you. Before having a tow truck driver sent your way, ask the towing company for the drivers number and how long is the estimate eta for towing services. Do not be left in the dark wondering when your driver is coming.  If you feel like the ETA on a tow truck is to long for you to wait do not hesitate to call another towing company. Tampa Towing Services has never had a wait time over 1hr. Majority of the ETA's time are less than 30 mins long, I recommend giving them a call first!

I agree with your statement that a towing company has the skills to safely pull your car on a highway. My cousin's vehicle is stuck on the snow outside the city, and he is looking for as friend to help him pull it out and towing back home. I will recommend him hiring as towing company instead because if the vehicle is not towed correctly, it could be damaged.

I like your tip about calling the driver to see how far away they are or how long it could take them to reach you. My husband and I have been wanting to make sure our children are prepared in case they get in an accident or need help from a tow truck. I think we should look into having a towing service number in the car in case they need it.

Thanks for the advice to check for hidden fees before you hire a towing company. I think the best way to do this would be to research a company before you need them. Have one ready to call so that when you need a tow truck, you'll know who to hire.

I appreciate that this post encouraged us to ask about the hidden fees prior to hiring a towing service. It makes sense to ask about the hidden fees as we will be able to estimate the cost. I will definitely remember to ask about this in the future.

I recently bought a car and since I want to be a prepped I want to know what to look for in a towing service. I appreciate that you recommend making sure that you hire a tower service company in which there are no hidden fees. I know for sure that I don´t want to find any hidden fees when my car has been already towed.

I was driving from my workplace and noticed that my car is not working properly. To be honest, I called my wife to come to pick me up and left my car there, but now I'm thinking about what to do. Thanks for your information I will make sure to contact a towing company that can offer me the final price before hiring them.

It really helped when you said it's important to ask your towing company how long it'd take them to get to you. A few days ago, my sister's car broke down in the middle of the road, and I had to get her. Not one towing company answered our calls, so we had to leave her car there, so now we need to find a company to help us out. We think that your article will help us choose a good towing company. Thanks for the tips about what to consider when hiring a towing service.
