Pricing
One of the first questions every stranded driver asks is "how much is this going to cost?" It's a fair question, and the honest answer is: it depends. Here's what actually goes into a tow price on Oahu.
What affects the price
Distance
Most tows are priced with a base hook-up fee plus a per-mile rate. A short tow within Ewa Beach or Kapolei costs far less than a haul from town all the way out to the North Shore.
Vehicle type and size
A standard sedan is straightforward. A lifted 4x4, a lowered exotic, an EV like a Cybertruck, or a piece of heavy equipment takes more time, the right truck and extra care — which affects the rate.
Time and conditions
Late-night calls, holidays, and difficult recovery situations (off-road, mud, accident scenes) involve more labor and equipment than a simple daytime flatbed load.
