ACT Roadside Assistance accepts towing calls 24/7, but availability and pricing vary with the time, location and work required. If you need help in Knoxville, call 866-597-5872 for an estimate based on your vehicle and pickup.

After-hours towing is assessed individually

Night calls can involve limited available equipment and drivers, additional travel or a more difficult recovery. After-hours charges may be substantially higher. The low base fees, per-mile examples and small night surcharges previously shown here were generic figures, not ACT’s price list. Do not use them as a quote.

When the vehicle is safely parked

If a vehicle is securely parked and the tow is not urgent, ask dispatch whether a daytime appointment would suit the job and your budget. Confirm permission for the vehicle to remain where it is and any pickup or repair-shop restrictions. Do not assume that a particular time or lower rate is available until it is confirmed.

When waiting is not a safe option

A vehicle in traffic, an unsafe location or a collision needs a different response from a vehicle parked at home. Explain the situation immediately. Contact emergency services first for injuries or immediate danger. Do not stay in a dangerous position simply to postpone a towing charge.

Questions to ask dispatch

Is suitable equipment available for this location and vehicle?
What is the current arrival estimate?
What work and charges does the estimate include?
Could access, winching, waiting time or the destination add to the cost?
What payment methods and arrangements are accepted?

Get an estimate for the actual job

Have your exact location, vehicle make and model, keys and wheel condition, and preferred destination ready. If you are using an insurer or roadside plan, confirm its authorization and payment requirements with that provider. General benefit descriptions do not establish coverage for your call.
