How Much Does a Tow Cost in Nashville?
By Navy Towing & Recovery · Updated October 2026
The cost of a tow in Nashville depends mainly on distance, vehicle type, time of day and where the vehicle is stuck. A reputable company quotes a firm price on the phone before dispatching a truck. At Navy Towing & Recovery, call or text (615) 210-0161 and we confirm your total before we roll.
What changes the price of a tow?
Four things drive most of the price. Ask about each one when you call so the quote matches your situation.
- Distance: how many miles from pickup to drop-off.
- Vehicle type: AWD, EV, motorcycle or larger trucks may need a flatbed or special equipment.
- Time: late-night calls can cost more with some companies.
- Location: interstate shoulders, ditches and tight garages may need extra work like a winch-out.
How do you avoid hidden towing fees?
Ask for the total price before the truck is dispatched, not a per-hook rate alone. Confirm payment methods up front.
One of our customers wrote that we had 'no hidden fees like other companies that I called.' That's the standard we hold ourselves to.
Is roadside help cheaper than a tow?
Usually, yes. If the problem is a dead battery, lockout, flat tire or empty tank, a roadside call can get you driving without paying for transport.
