Does anyone have any recommendations for towing the car? I've gotten a couple quotes for $100 and that seems high to me.
I don't have AAA or roadside assistance. I need to tow it 2.2 miles.
Without a roadside assistance subscription, you may find that the prices are higher than you expect. It's better to clarify all the details in advance and compare offers if possible. Sometimes the difference in cost can be significant, even with the same route.
For 2.2 miles, $100 is really expensive, but for shorter distances they often charge a flat rate per trip rather than per mile. But on longer routes, the math is completely different, and for example, I towing from state to state, knowing exactly how the price is calculated. There, the type of vehicle, clearance, season, and even the direction all matter. For example, for 500 miles, you can get away with it cheap, especially if you book in advance.
