What to include
What goes on a Towing invoice?
🚙
Hook-up and base fee
Towing invoices start with a hook-up or base fee for the call. List it on its own line so the customer sees it’s separate from the per-mile charge and any extras.
🛣️
Mileage and tow type
Show towed mileage at your per-mile rate and note the tow type (light-duty, flatbed, winch-out). Equipment and distance drive the price, so spell them out.
⏰
After-hours, winching, and storage
After-hours/holiday surcharges, winch-outs, and daily storage are common extras. Itemize each clearly - towing fees are scrutinized, and transparency prevents disputes and chargebacks.
💳
Terms and vehicle release
State that the vehicle is released on payment and when storage starts accruing. Add a card or ACH link so customers can pay immediately and retrieve their vehicle.
Pro tips
Towing invoicing tips that get you paid faster
Itemize the hook-up fee, mileage, and any winching separately - lumped towing charges are the most disputed and most charged-back.
Note your after-hours and holiday surcharge clearly; surprise premiums trigger complaints.
State when daily storage begins (e.g., after 24 hours) so the customer understands accruing fees.
Collect payment before releasing the vehicle, with a card link for on-the-spot payment.
Save your base fee, per-mile rate, and storage rate as reusable line items to invoice each call fast.
FAQs
Common questions about towing invoices
What should a towing invoice include?
A towing invoice should include your company details, the customer and vehicle, the hook-up/base fee, mileage at your per-mile rate, the tow type, any after-hours or winching surcharges, storage fees, the total, and payment terms.
How do tow companies calculate the bill?
Typically a base hook-up fee plus per-mile towing, with extras for tow type (flatbed, winch-out), after-hours surcharges, and daily storage. Itemizing each keeps the bill transparent.
When does storage get billed?
Storage usually begins accruing after a set window (often 24 hours) and is billed per day. State the start point and daily rate on the invoice.
