Cheap towing near me in Newark, NJ: every ward, the airport, the port and the towns next door, one flat rate

Looking for cheap towing near you in Newark? This is the map. Every ward, avenue and lot, plus the eight towns on Newark's border, with the routes the trucks actually drive from Linden so you can see where the miles are fewest.

Five wards

Cheap towing near me by Newark ward: same fee everywhere, different mileage and different truck

The $149 booking fee does not change from one end of Newark to the other; what changes is how many miles sit between the car and its garage and which truck the street calls for, a wheel-lift on the Ironbound's packed curbs, dollies under Downtown's low ceilings, a flatbed for the North Ward's all-wheel-drive SUVs.

01

South Ward: Weequahic, Dayton, Clinton Hill, Upper Clinton

The ward nearest our yard: Frelinghuysen, Elizabeth Avenue, Bergen, Chancellor, Lyons, the park and the hospital. First truck out and the fewest miles on any receipt in Newark. Curb parking on both sides means the truck loads from the traffic side.

02

East Ward: Ironbound, South Ironbound, Down Neck

Ferry, Wilson, Lafayette, Adams and the blocks running down to the river and the rail yards. Packed curbs, late hours, boxed-in cars freed on skates and loaded on a wheel-lift. A car that sat in water on a flooded block rides a flatbed no matter what, because a drowned engine is not a saving.

03

The airport and the port

Newark Liberty: the three terminals, lots P1 through P6, economy, employee and cell-phone lots, rental returns and the hotel strip on Routes 1 & 9. Port Newark: Doremus, Port Street, Corbin, Avenue P and the gates. Straight up Routes 1 & 9 from Linden, so few miles, and a jump before a tow for the long-term-lot batteries.

04

Central Ward and Downtown

Broad, Market, Raymond Boulevard, Mulberry, MLK Boulevard, Springfield Avenue, the arena decks, the station garages, the hospital and the two campuses. Ceilings under seven feet are the norm; the driver brings the car to the entrance and loads on the street, with any dolly work priced on the call.

05

North Ward: Forest Hill, Roseville, Mount Pleasant, Seventh Avenue, Lower Broadway

Bloomfield Avenue, Mount Prospect, Broadway, Park Avenue, Heller Parkway and the park loops. Hills, driveways, tight curb cuts and family SUVs that ride a flatbed. The far end of the city from the yard, but the miles you pay run from the car to its garage, and a truck already in Newark is usually nearer than the yard.

06

West Ward: Vailsburg, Fairmount, West Side, Ivy Hill

South Orange Avenue, Sanford, 18th Avenue, Central Avenue west of the parkway and the Ivy Hill blocks against the Garden State Parkway. Commuter cars, cold-morning driveway no-starts, jumps more often than tows. Turnpike and Parkway shoulders are served by the Authority's authorized garages. Book with us and we take the car from the exit or the garage's lot.

Give the dispatcher a corner, a lot name or an exit and the cheapest truck that fits the job rolls.

Roads and exits

Cheap tow truck near me on Newark roads: the exits and stations we get called to most

The calls cluster at the Turnpike interchanges from 13A to 14C, on Routes 1 & 9 beside the airport, on I-78, I-280 and Route 21, on the four big avenues, and in the lots at Penn Station, Broad Street Station and the airport station, all at one flat fee.

A car that still rolls should leave the travel lane for a shoulder, a ramp or a side street before you dial; the tow from a safe spot costs exactly the same and starts sooner. A car that will not move gets hazards on and you behind the guardrail, and the dispatcher needs the road, the direction and the last exit you passed.

Next to Newark

The eight towns that border Newark get the same flat fee and the same trucks

Elizabeth, Hillside, Irvington, East Orange, Belleville, Harrison, Kearny and Bloomfield share a border with Newark and share our dispatcher and our $149 booking fee, so a tow between any of them and Newark is a short, cheap local run.

Elizabeth

Ten minutes down Routes 1 & 9 and on the truck's way from the yard. The shortest cross-town tow we do.

Hillside

Over Route 22 and I-78 from the South Ward. Liberty Avenue and the Route 22 garages, a few miles from Weequahic.

Irvington

West along Springfield and Clinton Avenues from Weequahic. Parkway Exits 143 and 144 are the landmarks.

East Orange

Beyond the West Ward on I-280 and Central Avenue. Brick Church and the lots by the station.

Belleville

Above Branch Brook Park on Washington Avenue and Route 21. A short local run from the North Ward.

Harrison

Over the Passaic from the Ironbound. The arena lots and Harrison Avenue, minutes by the bridges.

Kearny

The Skyway, the meadows and the Belleville Turnpike, close to the port and thick with body shops.

Bloomfield

Up Bloomfield Avenue past the North Ward. The Parkway exits at Watsessing.

A tow that begins in Newark and ends in one of these towns, or the reverse, is the booking fee plus a few miles, one quote. Anything farther, to the shore or over a state line, is a long distance tow quoted the same way with the tolls built in.

Wherever in Newark or beside it, the number and the fee do not change.

FAQ

Service area: common questions

Short answers to what people ask about this page; the dispatcher can answer the rest.

Which part of Newark is cheapest to get towed from?

The South Ward, the airport and the Ironbound carry the fewest miles because they sit nearest our Linden yard and have garages close by. The booking fee is the same everywhere; only the miles change.

Is there a cheap tow truck near me anywhere in Newark right now?

Nearly always. The trucks work the whole city, the airport and the port around the clock, and the yard is a quarter hour away. Dispatch quotes the arrival window and the miles from the nearest truck's actual position.

Do the towns bordering Newark get the same price?

Yes. Elizabeth, Hillside, Irvington, East Orange, Belleville, Harrison, Kearny and Bloomfield are the same dispatcher and the same $149 booking fee, plus a few local miles.

Do you come to Newark Airport and Port Newark?

Every week. Lots P1 through P6, the economy and employee lots, the terminal curbs and the hotel strip; Doremus Avenue and the port gates for cars and for heavy trucks on a fleet invoice.

Anything else? Ask on the call.
