Long-Distance Towing
Safe, reliable vehicle transport across Maryland and beyond, with care every mile of the way.
What Is Long-Distance Towing
Long-distance towing is the process of transporting a vehicle over extended distances, typically more than 50 miles. Unlike local towing, which covers short trips to nearby repair shops or homes, long-distance towing involves moving your car across the state, to another state, or even across the country. This type of service requires specialized equipment, careful planning, and experienced drivers who know how to safely transport vehicles over long routes.
Most long-distance towing is done using flatbed trucks, which provide the safest and most secure method of transport. With a flatbed, your vehicle sits on a flat platform with all four wheels off the ground, so there is no wear on your tires, transmission, or drivetrain. This is especially important for long trips where even minor stress on your vehicle can add up to serious problems.
Common Reasons for Long-Distance Towing
People need long-distance towing for many different reasons. Here are some of the most common situations:
- Moving to a new home in another city or state and need to transport your vehicle
- Buying or selling a car out of state and need it delivered safely
- Vehicle breakdown during a road trip that requires towing back home
- Transporting a classic or collector car to a show, auction, or new owner
- Relocating for work and need your car moved to your new location
- Delivering a vehicle to or from a dealership or repair facility far from home

How Long-Distance Towing Works
Long-distance towing requires more planning than a quick local tow. We take the time to understand your needs, schedule the service at a time that works for you, and make sure your vehicle arrives safely at its destination. Here is what you can expect when you book long-distance towing with us.
Step 1: Request a Quote
The first step is to contact us and provide details about your vehicle and the trip. We will need to know what kind of car you have, where it is currently located, where it needs to go, and whether it runs or needs to be winched onto the truck. Based on this information, we will provide an upfront quote that covers the entire service with no hidden fees.
Step 2: Schedule Pickup
Once you accept the quote, we will work with you to schedule a pickup time that fits your schedule. We understand that coordinating a long-distance tow can be tricky, especially if you are moving or dealing with a breakdown, so we do our best to be flexible. We will confirm the pickup location and make sure we have clear instructions for accessing your vehicle.
Step 3: Safe Transport
When our driver arrives, they will inspect your vehicle and load it onto the flatbed using secure tie-down points. Your car will be positioned correctly and strapped down to prevent any movement during the trip. Our drivers are experienced with long-distance routes and know how to handle different road conditions, traffic, and weather. We use flatbed towing for most long-distance jobs because it offers the best protection for your vehicle.
Step 4: Delivery and Unloading
Once we reach the destination, we will carefully unload your vehicle and complete a final inspection to ensure everything is in order. If you are not able to be there in person, we can coordinate delivery with a friend, family member, or property manager. We will keep you updated throughout the trip so you always know where your car is and when it will arrive.
