Guide towing prices depend on distance, access and vehicle condition
A simple local tow from a home, driveway or workshop to a nearby mechanic can start from around $120 + GST when the vehicle is easy to access and load. That is very different from a non-running vehicle stuck in underground parking, a car with no keys, a vehicle with flat tyres or a longer Brisbane-to-regional transport job.
TowFast Brisbane confirms pricing based on the actual pickup location, drop-off location, towing distance, vehicle type, vehicle condition, access, timing and loading requirements.
The figures below are general guide ranges only and are not fixed quotes. Your confirmed price may be higher or lower depending on pickup, drop-off, distance, access, timing, vehicle condition and job suitability.
General towing price guide in Brisbane
Short local towing
Best suited to nearby mechanic, workshop or home drop-offs where the vehicle is easy to access, has keys and can be loaded without extra recovery work.
From around $120 + GSTStandard Brisbane metro towing
Common Brisbane towing jobs where pickup-to-drop-off distance, traffic, timing and return travel are higher than a very short local tow.
Often around $150-$250 + GSTNon-drivable vehicles
Cars that do not start, do not roll, have no keys, flat tyres or difficult access may need extra time, equipment and loading care.
From around $180 + GSTLong-distance transport
Longer Brisbane, SEQ or regional jobs are quoted based on kilometres, route, vehicle type, access and scheduling.
Quoted per jobFor suitable longer-distance work, pricing may be calculated using a minimum call-out plus a per-kilometre component after the included local distance. The final quote is confirmed before dispatch.
