How much does long-distance towing cost?

The cost depends on the distance, the type of vehicle, and any special requirements like difficult pickup locations. We provide upfront estimates before we start, so you know exactly what you are paying. There are no surprise fees or hidden charges.

How long does a long-distance tow take?

It depends on the distance and the route. A trip from Des Moines to Ankeny might take an hour or two, while a trip from out of state could take several hours or even a full day. We will give you an estimated timeframe when you book, and we will keep you updated along the way.

Can you tow a vehicle that does not run?

Yes, absolutely. Our flatbed trucks are equipped with winches that can pull non-running vehicles onto the bed safely. Whether your car is stuck in neutral, has a dead engine, or just will not start, we can handle it.

When You Need to Tow Far From Home

Sometimes your vehicle needs to go farther than a few miles down the road. Maybe you bought a car out of state and need it brought back to Ankeny. Maybe your vehicle broke down while traveling and you want it towed home instead of paying for repairs in an unfamiliar city. Whatever the reason,our long-distance towing service is built to get your vehicle where it needs to go safely and affordably.

Long-distance towing is not the same as a quick trip across town. It requires proper planning, reliable equipment, and experienced drivers who know how to handle extended trips. We use flatbed trucks for long hauls because they protect your vehicle from wear and tear during the journey. Your car, truck, or SUV rides securely on the bed the entire time, with no wheels touching the pavement. That means no extra mileage, no road damage, and no transmission stress.

Why Flatbed Is the Best Choice for Long Trips

For long-distance towing, flatbed is the way to go. Traditional tow methods that leave wheels on the ground are fine for short trips, but over long distances, they can cause problems. Your odometer keeps running, your tires wear down, and your transmission takes unnecessary strain. With a flatbed, none of that happens. Your vehicle is lifted completely off the ground and secured to the platform.

This is especially important for all-wheel-drive vehicles, luxury cars, and anything with specialized mechanics. If your car has electronic systems that monitor wheel movement or a drivetrain that was not designed for extended towing, flatbed transport eliminates the risk. We have the equipment and experience to handle any type of vehicle, no matter how far it needs to go. If you also needlocal flatbed towing, we cover that too.

What to Expect During a Long-Distance Tow

When you book a long-distance tow with us, we start by getting all the details. Where is your vehicle now? Where does it need to go? What kind of vehicle is it? Once we have that information, we give you a clear estimate and schedule a pickup time that works for you. Our drivers plan the route carefully, accounting for highway conditions, weather, and any potential delays.

On the day of the tow, our team arrives on time with a clean, well-maintained flatbed truck. We load your vehicle securely using heavy-duty straps and chains, making sure everything is locked down before we hit the road. During the trip, your vehicle is protected from road debris, weather, and wear. When we arrive at the destination, we unload it just as carefully as we loaded it. The whole process is smooth and stress-free. For emergency situations closer to home, check out our emergency towing service.
