Australia Car Towing Cost Calculator

How to Accurately Calculate Car Towing Costs in Australia

When you need vehicle recovery services, our Car Towing Cost Calculator Australia helps you estimate fees with precision. Here's how to use it effectively:

Step 1: Measure Your Distance

Calculate exact towing distance using Google Maps' "Measure Distance" feature. Even 5km differences can affect pricing by $40-$60 in metro areas.

Step 2: Select Vehicle Class

Choose from four categories:

• Small Cars (Sedans/Hatchbacks)
• SUVs/4WDs (Higher clearance needed)
• Light Trucks (Up to 4.5 tonnes)
• Heavy Vehicles (Requires special permits)

Step 3: Location Factors

Each Australian state has different base rates:

• NSW: $3.20/km base rate
• VIC: $3.50/km
• QLD: $3.80/km
• WA: $4.10/km

Remote areas may incur 25-40% surcharges.

Special Circumstances

Our calculator accounts for:

• After-hours service (6pm-7am)
• Off-road recoveries
• Overnight storage needs
