What Is Flatbed Towing?
A flatbed tow truck has a long steel deck that tilts down to the ground. Your vehicle is pulled or driven up onto the deck, strapped at each wheel and carried to where it needs to go.
No wheels touch the road, so the drivetrain, tires and bumpers take no wear on the trip. It is the safest way to move a vehicle that is damaged, expensive, all-wheel drive or electric.
Signs You Need a Flatbed
Tell dispatch about any of these when you call. They mean your vehicle should ride on a flatbed:
- Your car is all-wheel drive or four-wheel drive.
- It is electric or a hybrid.
- It is lowered or has low ground clearance.
- It is an exotic, luxury or classic car.
- It was in a wreck and a wheel, axle or steering part is damaged.
- The transmission is locked or the car will not go into neutral.
- It is going a long distance.

Flatbed or Wheel-Lift: Which Tow Do You Need?
A wheel-lift truck lifts one end of the car and the other two wheels roll on the road. It works well for short tows of front-wheel or rear-wheel drive cars that are not damaged.
A flatbed carries the whole vehicle. Most vehicle makers say all-wheel drive cars, EVs and many automatic transmissions should not be towed with wheels on the ground. When you call, tell dispatch what you drive and we will send the right truck.
How Much Does Flatbed Towing Cost?
Flatbed pricing is based on mileage, vehicle size, whether it rolls and when you call.
