How to Get a Towing Estimate in Knoxville | ACT

Need a towing estimate in Knoxville? Call ACT Roadside Assistance at 866-597-5872 with your pickup location, vehicle details and destination. Dispatch will confirm availability and discuss pricing for your situation before you decide.

What affects your towing estimate

The pickup and drop-off locations matter, along with the vehicle's size, condition and loading needs. Tell dispatch whether the wheels roll, the steering works, the keys are available, and the vehicle is in a garage, on a steep driveway, in a ditch or in a collision. A recovery that needs winching or special access is different from loading a vehicle on an accessible parking lot.

There is no single online price that fits every call. General base-fee and per-mile examples are not ACT quotes. The figures previously shown in this article were generic examples and should not be used to estimate your bill.

What to ask before agreeing to service

Ask what the estimate includes, what could change it, whether recovery or waiting time would be additional, and how the destination affects the total. Confirm accepted payment methods with dispatch. If conditions at the vehicle differ from the details supplied, ask how any additional work and charges will be discussed.

After-hours availability and charges

ACT accepts calls 24/7, but a truck's availability and arrival estimate depend on current calls, distance, traffic and equipment needs. After-hours charges can be substantially higher. If the vehicle is safely parked and the tow is not urgent, ask about a suitable daytime appointment. A dangerous roadside situation should not be left unresolved simply to wait for a lower price.

Using roadside or insurance benefits

Check with your own provider before assuming a tow will be covered. Confirm authorization, distance limits, eligible destinations, reimbursement rules and your share of the cost. ACT cannot determine another provider's benefits from a general description of your plan.
