24 hour towing in Jersey City, NJ: the whole picture on one page
Why Jersey City drivers save this number for the middle of the night
24 Hour Towing Jersey City NJ is a NJ towing services provider whose own flatbed and wheel-lift trucks come up from Linden, about 28 minutes away by the Turnpike Extension, with a dispatcher who picks up at any hour, names a flat $149 booking fee, and often has a truck already north on the Turnpike or in Bayonne when you call.
Jersey City is awake when most of the state is not. The Holland Tunnel takes traffic all night, the Newport and Exchange Place towers empty out in shifts, Journal Square never quite clears, and the light rail stops long before the last bar on Newark Avenue does.
A towing outfit that shuts its phone off at nine, or hands the night to an out-of-state answering service, is no help to a city built around a tunnel. This page is for the moment you are standing on Grand Street or Route 440 next to a car that has quit, and it is dark.
We do not sell leads. The number here, (908) 666-3168, rings the dispatcher who moves our trucks, and that person can tell you the price and the arrival window in the same breath. No hold music, no "someone will reach out." Prefer a form to a phone? Book online and the booking fee is $129 instead of $149.
Honest about the distance: 28 minutes from Linden, usually less in practice
Our yard sits in Linden, at Exit 13 of the Turnpike. A truck heading to Jersey City takes the Newark Bay Extension and comes off at 14A for Route 440 and the West Side, 14B for Liberty State Park and Bergen-Lafayette, or 14C for Downtown and the tunnel. The drive is about 28 minutes when the truck starts at the yard.
The thing is, the truck rarely starts at the yard. Our drivers run Bayonne, the Extension and the Hudson waterfront through the night, so the dispatcher quotes the window from where the closest truck actually is, not from Linden.
One price at 1 a.m., the same price at 1 p.m.
Late-night towing around the tunnel has a bad habit: a surprise after-hours line, storage that starts ticking on the ride, a fuel charge that appeared from nowhere. Our booking fee is a flat $149 by phone, $129 when you book online, and it pays for dispatch and the hook-up.
Mileage to the shop or driveway you choose is quoted on the same call, and the receipt shows the number you agreed to. Nothing is added for the hour, the day of the week, a holiday, or a passenger in the cab. A jump start or a lockout is one flat price each.
The right truck for what Jersey City parks
This city parks a lot of cars that must not be dragged: Teslas and hybrids in the Newport garages, all-wheel-drive crossovers up in the Heights, lowered cars on Ocean Avenue, anything that just hit a guardrail on Route 139. We ask what you drive before anything else.
A flatbed goes when the car needs its four wheels off the ground. A wheel-lift goes when it does not and the cheaper truck will do the job. Sending the right one first is how you avoid paying for the same tow twice.
Your shop, your driveway, never a yard you did not choose
After a wreck on the Extension or a stall on Tonnelle Avenue, the truck that shows up uninvited takes the car to a lot that bills by the day. Call us instead and the car goes where you say: a mechanic on Communipaw, a body shop in Kearny, a dealer on Route 440, your own spot in Greenville.
The driver photographs the car before loading and again at the drop, and you leave with an itemized receipt an adjuster or a roadside plan will accept without a phone call.
Broken down in Jersey City right now? Stop reading. The dispatcher quotes the price before the truck leaves.
Call (908) 666-3168See the service areaWhat 24 hour towing in Jersey City, NJ looks like when the PATH has stopped and it is pouring
It looks like a dispatcher answering on the second ring at 3 a.m., a truck sent that minute rather than "first thing tomorrow," and a driver who knows the Newport garage ramps, the one-way grid in Paulus Hook and which Route 440 shoulder floods before the rest.
A lot of companies write 24 hours on their listing and let the phone ring out after dark. Ours is answered by a person all night because Jersey City hands us a large share of its calls between 11 p.m. and 5 a.m.: a battery that died in a Harborside deck after a fourteen-hour shift, a rideshare car with a flat on JFK Boulevard, a van that will not turn over on Caven Point Road before the morning run, a car pulled off the Extension after a crash that now has to get from the exit to a shop.
The overnight crew works from the same script as the day crew. The dispatcher asks where you are, what you drive, what happened and where the car should end up, then gives you a flat price and a window. The driver phones when he is a few minutes away.
On a shoulder, we tell you where to stand while you wait. In a garage, we tell you what the truck looks like and where it will meet you. If the fix is a jump, a tire or a lockout, we do that instead of loading the car, and you pay the smaller price.
Downtown towers, Newport garages and the Holland Tunnel approach after midnight
The waterfront is the thickest cluster of night calls we get from Jersey City. Cars sit twelve hours in the decks under the Exchange Place and Harborside towers and come back dead, tunnel-bound drivers stall on the Twelfth Street and Fourteenth Street approaches, and the Newport Centre garages spill out late on weekends.
Tell the dispatcher which garage, which level and which entrance. The driver meets you at the ramp, brings the car out to Washington Boulevard or Marin Boulevard with dollies or a wheel-lift if the deck is too low for a flatbed, and loads it on the street.
Route 440, the Hackensack bridges and the container terminal at 4 a.m.
The west and south edges of Jersey City run on truck time. Drayage tractors leave the Global Container Terminal at Greenville Yards through the night, box trucks cross the Lincoln Highway Bridge and the Wittpenn Bridge before dawn, and employee cars along Route 440 die at shift change.
Medium and heavy-duty trucks come from the same Linden yard as the flatbeds, so a fleet manager calling at 4 a.m. gets one answer and one invoice, not a referral to someone else.
Journal Square, the Heights and the residential blocks late at night
Away from the waterfront the calls change: keys locked in a car on Sip Avenue after the last PATH train, a commuter car that will not start on Central Avenue, a car boxed in nose to tail on a Heights side street, a slide-off on the hill below Riverview Park after the first ice. A wheel-lift threads a narrow block where a flatbed cannot, and skates walk a trapped car forward when there is no room behind it.
Late, wet, and the car is dead. That is exactly the call we keep a night dispatcher for.
Call dispatch nowEmergency towing in Jersey City, NJ: what makes a call urgent and what happens in the first minutes
An emergency tow in Jersey City is a car in a live lane, on a shoulder, in water, across a garage ramp or a driveway, or with people waiting in the cold; those calls go to the front of the line, the nearest truck rolls before the paperwork, and the price is the same $149 booking fee plus mileage as any other call.
"Emergency tow near me" is what people type from the shoulder of Route 139 with the hazards blinking. Here is what that search buys you in Jersey City. The dispatcher's first question is whether you are safe, and the next thing out of the dispatcher's mouth is where to stand.
The nearest truck is sent while you are still describing the car. If you are stuck in a travel lane on Tonnelle Avenue or the Skyway approach, the dispatcher stays on the line until you are behind the barrier. The price is the flat number, and it is quoted while the truck is already moving.
Crash on Route 139, the Skyway approach or Routes 1 & 9 Truck
Call before the rotation truck arrives and you keep the choice of where your car goes. We winch it onto the flatbed, clear the debris from the lane, photograph the damage for your insurer and take it to the body shop you name. If police are there, tell them your tow is en route; they usually hold the scene.
Dead in a live lane on Tonnelle Avenue or the Extension ramps
Tonnelle Avenue, Route 139 and the 14C ramp toward the tunnel have almost no shoulder and a lot of trucks. If the car still creeps, get it to the next side street or the far right.
If it will not move at all, hazards on, exit on the side away from traffic, get behind the barrier and call. The driver comes in with the light bar running and sets the truck up to shield you.
Flooded street, soft ground or ice
The low blocks near the Morris Canal basin, the underpass at Route 440 and the streets below the Heights fill in a hard rain. Never restart a car that took on water.
We winch it clear and, if it runs, you drive off. If it does not, the flatbed is already at the curb and the tow is quoted right there with no second dispatch.
Blocking a garage ramp, a driveway or a loading dock
A car dead across the entrance to a Newport deck, a van stalled in a driveway on Ocean Avenue, a delivery truck that quit at a dock on Caven Point Road. For whoever is trapped behind them, that is an emergency. The vehicle gets moved first and its destination gets sorted afterward, and fleet callers have a direct line for exactly this.
Say the word emergency and the closest truck leaves before anything else is typed.
Emergency dispatch nowWhat happens when you callEvery towing and roadside job we send to Jersey City, at any hour of the night
Jersey City gets the full list from us: emergency towing, flatbed and wheel-lift towing, collision towing, local runs and long-distance hauls, medium and heavy-duty work, winch-outs, plus the roadside fixes that spare you a tow, meaning jump starts, tire swaps, lockouts and fuel drops.
Emergency towing
The car quit and will not restart. A truck rolls the moment you accept the quote, from Paulus Hook to Greenville, to whichever shop or driveway you name.
Flatbed towing
Four wheels on the deck, strapped at the tires. AWD, electric, luxury, lowered and crash-damaged cars ride flat so nothing scrapes and nothing spins.
Collision towing
After a wreck on Route 139, Tonnelle Avenue or a side street, we winch, clear the lane, photograph everything for the claim and deliver to your body shop.
Jump start, tire, lockout, fuel
Dead battery in a Harborside deck, a flat on JFK Boulevard, keys inside the car at Liberty State Park, empty tank on Route 440. Fixed where you stand, one flat price.
Winch out & recovery
Off the pavement in Lincoln Park, nose-down in a flooded underpass, stuck on an icy Heights hill. We pull you back on and, if the car drives, you drive it.
Heavy duty towing
Tractors, chassis, box trucks and buses around Greenville Yards, Route 440 and the Hackensack bridges. Dispatch that understands a delivery window and bills monthly.
Local towing
Garage to shop, driveway to dealer, a car with dead plates, a project car that needs to move. Booking fee plus mileage, quoted on the call, now or scheduled.
Long distance towing
Jersey City to the shore, into Manhattan or Brooklyn, out to Pennsylvania or to a buyer three states off, on one flatbed for one quoted price with tolls included.
Need the long version? Emergency towing, flatbed towing, accident towing, heavy duty towing and roadside assistance each get a full page listing the vehicles covered and the questions people ask. From a Jersey City curb at 2 a.m. you do not have to pick a category. Say what happened and the dispatcher chooses the truck.
Tow or jump? Not sure? Describe it to dispatch. The answer costs nothing and the quote is flat.
Call (908) 666-3168Book online · $20 off24 hour towing across every Jersey City neighborhood, from Newport to the Bayonne line
We tow in all of Jersey City: Downtown with Exchange Place, Newport, Paulus Hook and Hamilton Park, Journal Square and Five Corners, the Heights, Bergen-Lafayette and Liberty State Park, Greenville and Port Liberté, and the West Side with Lincoln Park and McGinley Square.
Jersey City changes block by block. Downtown is decks with low ceilings and a one-way grid, Journal Square is a transit hub with double-parked buses, the Heights is hills and tight curb cuts, Greenville is long avenues and a container port, and the West Side is Route 440 and the Hackensack. The dispatcher asks for a cross street or a garage name because the neighborhood decides which truck comes and how it gets to you.
Downtown: Exchange Place, Newport, Paulus Hook, Harsimus Cove
Washington Boulevard, Marin Boulevard, Grove Street, Christopher Columbus Drive, Montgomery Street and the garages under the towers. Low decks keep flatbeds out, so the driver brings the car up to the street before loading.
Most calls here are dead batteries at the end of a long shift, lockouts near the PATH and cars trapped on a level the truck cannot reach. Tell dispatch the garage, the level and which entrance you will be at.
Journal Square, Five Corners and the Marion section
JFK Boulevard, Bergen Avenue, Sip Avenue, Newark Avenue, Summit Avenue and the Route 139 viaduct overhead. Buses, jitneys, double parking and the busiest PATH station in the county. The truck comes in from Route 139 or JFK depending on which side of the square you are on, so give the cross street and the side.
The Heights: Central Avenue, Palisade Avenue, Riverview, the Western Slope
Hills, narrow one-way blocks, driveways with tight curb cuts, and Christ Hospital in the middle of it. Family SUVs and crossovers belong on a flatbed. In winter the slope streets down toward Tonnelle Avenue and Paterson Plank Road ice before the avenues, and a slide-off is a winch-out first, a tow second.
Bergen-Lafayette, Liberty State Park and the Science Center
Communipaw Avenue, Grand Street, Pacific Avenue, Johnston Avenue and the park loop road out to the ferry and the Liberty Science Center. Turnpike Exit 14B drops straight into this district, which is one of the quickest ways in from Linden. Park lots close after dark; tell dispatch which lot and which gate.
Greenville, Port Liberté and the container terminal
Ocean Avenue, Garfield Avenue, MLK Drive, Danforth Avenue, Old Bergen Road and the gated streets of Port Liberté on the water. Long residential avenues with parking on both sides, the Bayonne line at the south end, and the Global Container Terminal for tractors and chassis. Our first Jersey City stop coming up Route 440 from Bayonne.
West Side, Lincoln Park, McGinley Square and Route 440
West Side Avenue, Duncan Avenue, Montgomery Street, the New Jersey City University and Saint Peter's blocks, Hudson Mall, and the Route 440 strip along the Hackensack. Exit 14A of the Turnpike lands here. Mall lots, campus decks, slide-offs on the Lincoln Park loops and highway breakdowns on 440 are the usual calls.
Each district above, plus the seven towns around Jersey City, is mapped on the service-area page.
Call (908) 666-3168Full Jersey City service areaTowing off the Turnpike Extension exits, Route 440, Routes 1 & 9 Truck, Route 139 and Tonnelle Avenue in Jersey City
Route 440, Routes 1 & 9 Truck, Tonnelle Avenue, Route 139, Route 7, JFK Boulevard and every Jersey City street get a direct dispatch; the Turnpike Extension's own shoulders belong to the Authority's authorized garages, so there we collect the car at the exit or the garage's lot and carry it onward.
NJ Turnpike Extension, Exits 14A, 14B and 14C
The Newark Bay-Hudson County Extension is the spine of the city's traffic: 14A for Bayonne and Route 440, 14B for Liberty State Park, 14C for the Holland Tunnel. The toll plaza approach at 14C backs up every night. On the New Jersey Turnpike and the Garden State Parkway the shoulder itself is served by the Turnpike Authority's authorized garages; book with us anyway, and once the authorized truck has the car off the highway we take it from the exit or the garage's lot to the shop or driveway you choose, at the same flat quoted price.
Route 440 along the Hackensack
From the Bayonne line past Society Hill, Hudson Mall and the West Side to the Route 1 & 9 Truck split. Wide, fast, badly lit in stretches, and the underpasses hold water in a storm. Direct dispatch from Linden by way of Bayonne, which makes this our fastest highway in the city.
Routes 1 & 9 Truck and the Lincoln Highway Bridge
The truck route from the Skyway's foot over the Hackensack into Kearny, carrying tractors and box trucks around the clock. Narrow shoulders and heavy commercial traffic. Direct dispatch; say the direction and whether you are on the bridge, the approach or at the Route 440 split.
The Pulaski Skyway and Route 139 to the tunnel
The Skyway has no shoulder at all, and Route 139 runs in a cut below Journal Square before it climbs to the Holland Tunnel. If the car still moves, get to the next exit or the Summit Avenue ramps. If it does not, stay behind the barrier and tell dispatch exactly which level and which direction.
Tonnelle Avenue and Route 7 to the Wittpenn Bridge
Tonnelle is the Routes 1 & 9 mainline north through the Heights to North Bergen, all trucks and jughandles. Route 7 peels off toward the Wittpenn Bridge and Kearny. Both are direct dispatch; give the nearest cross street or the last jughandle you passed.
JFK Boulevard, Communipaw, Newark, Bergen and West Side Avenues
The avenues that carry Jersey City's local traffic, with bus stops, bike lanes, curbside parking and double-parked deliveries that change how the truck reaches you. Give the dispatcher the cross street and which side of the avenue the car is on.
On a Jersey City shoulder now? Behind the barrier, hazards on, then call. We tell you the next step.
Call from the roadsideHow much does 24 hour towing cost in Jersey City, NJ: $149 flat, $129 online, night priced like day
Start at $149, the flat booking fee for dispatch and hook-up ($129 if you book online), add the per-mile charge to wherever you send the car, and that is a Jersey City tow, stated before the truck moves; roadside jobs carry one flat price apiece, and the hour, the weekend, the holiday and the fuel gauge add nothing.
Ask "how much is a tow in Jersey City" and the honest reply begins with $149. That is the booking fee, it pays for sending the truck and hooking up the car, and it becomes $129 when you book online rather than calling. Everything after that depends on where the car is, where it is headed, what it is, and whether it rolls.
A running sedan going from Journal Square to a shop on Communipaw is a wheel-lift and a small bill. A crashed crossover on Route 139 that needs winching onto a flatbed and a ride to a body shop in Kearny is a bigger job, and the dispatcher says so before you agree to anything. The clock changes nothing: 3 a.m. costs what 3 p.m. costs.
What never appears on the invoice: an after-hours charge, a fuel add-on, a tunnel-side premium, a passenger fee, storage on a car that went straight to your shop, a release fee. What does appear: the $149 booking fee (or $129 online), the mileage, any winching or dolly work quoted on the call, and the total you were told. Adjusters and roadside plans get an itemized copy by email on request.
| What | Price | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Booking fee by phone | $149 | Dispatch and hook-up, any hour |
| Booking fee online | $129 | $20 off when you book it yourself |
| Mileage to your destination | Quoted on the call | Before the truck moves. You pick the shop. |
| Jump start · tire · lockout · fuel | One flat price each | No mileage. Tried first when it can solve it. |
| Winch or dollies | Only if the car will not roll | Named before the work, you decide |
| Night, weekend, holiday, fuel surcharge | None | 3 a.m. costs what 3 p.m. costs |
| Storage or release fee | None | The car goes to your shop, not a yard |
What moves the price of a Jersey City tow
The booking fee never moves. Miles matter most after that, so the destination is the dispatcher's first real question. Then the vehicle: an EV or an all-wheel-drive rides a flatbed, which costs more to run than the wheel-lift a front-drive commuter needs, and a box truck is a separate class of truck altogether.
Condition is the third factor. A car that rolls and steers is loaded in minutes; one that is locked, wrecked or sitting in water may need a winch or dollies, and that number is given up front. The full layout is on the prices page.
Roadside fixes that cost less than a tow
In Jersey City a jump, a tire swap, a lockout and a fuel drop each carry one flat charge, and the usual outcome is you driving off. Should the jump fail to hold or the spare turn out soft, the tow is priced at the curb, with no second callout because the truck is already parked behind you.
Want the number first? Call and ask for it. A quote is free and there is no obligation.
Call (908) 666-3168Towing prices in Jersey CityFrom your call to the drop-off: a 24 hour tow in Jersey City, step by step
You dial, the dispatcher asks four things and gives a flat price, the driver rings when minutes away, the car is photographed and loaded, and it lands at the shop or driveway you named with an itemized receipt in your hand.
- 1
You dial {{phone}} and a dispatcher picks up
No menu tree, no call center two time zones away. The dispatcher wants four things: your location (a cross street, a garage and level, an exit), the car, what went wrong, and the destination. If you have no destination in mind, we can name a shop nearby, but the choice stays yours.
- 2
You hear a flat price and an arrival window
Booking fee, mileage, and any recovery the dispatcher can already hear coming, such as a winch for a car that will not roll: that is the quote. The window is read off the nearest truck's position at that moment, which in Jersey City tends to be the Extension, Bayonne or the waterfront rather than 28 minutes back at the yard.
- 3
The driver calls when he is a few minutes out
The name on the door tells you it is ours. On a highway shoulder, stay behind the barrier; in a garage or a lot, sit in the locked car if that feels safer, and the driver rings once more when he is at your bumper.
- 4
Photographed, loaded, delivered, receipted
The driver photographs the car before it goes up and again where it comes down. You can ride along in the cab.
At the destination you get an itemized receipt that matches the quote, printed or emailed. Insurance adjusters and roadside-plan desks accept it as is.
Four questions, one number, one truck. That is the entire process, at every hour.

Questions Jersey City drivers ask about 24 hour towing, answered before the call
In short: yes, a person answers all night; yes, the price comes first; yes, we come into the garages and to the Extension exits; no, you do not need a membership.
Is someone actually answering at 3 a.m. in Jersey City, or is it a recording?
A person, every night of the year, holidays included. The number on this page, (908) 666-3168, goes to the dispatcher who moves the trucks. A big share of our Jersey City work comes in after the last PATH train, from the waterfront garages, the tunnel approaches, Journal Square and the Extension exits, and it is handled the same way a noon call is.
You are based in Linden. How long does that really take to reach Jersey City at night?
From the yard, about 28 minutes by the Turnpike Extension, and we would rather say that than pretend otherwise. In practice the trucks are usually already north, working Bayonne, the Extension or the waterfront, so the dispatcher quotes from where the nearest truck is at that minute. Greenville and Route 440 tend to be quickest; the Heights and Journal Square can run longer unless a truck is already up there.
What does 24 hour towing cost in Jersey City?
$149 by phone for dispatch and hook-up, $129 if you book online yourself. The dispatcher states the mileage to your chosen shop or driveway before sending anyone. A jump, a tire swap, a lockout or a fuel drop is a single flat charge. The hour, the weekend and the holiday add nothing, and the prices page lays the whole thing out.
Can you get into the parking garages Downtown, at Newport and under the Exchange Place towers?
The truck usually cannot, because most of those decks are too low for a flatbed. The driver meets you at the ramp, brings the car up to street level with dollies or a wheel-lift, and loads it on Washington Boulevard, Marin Boulevard or whichever street the exit lets out on. Tell dispatch the garage name, the level and the entrance you will stand at.
I broke down on the Turnpike Extension near Exit 14B. Will you come to the shoulder?
On the New Jersey Turnpike and the Garden State Parkway the shoulder itself is served by the Turnpike Authority's authorized garages; book with us anyway, and once the authorized truck has the car off the highway we take it from the exit or the garage's lot to the shop or driveway you choose, at the same flat quoted price. City streets, Route 440, Route 139, Tonnelle Avenue, Route 7 and Routes 1 & 9 Truck get a direct dispatch with no middle step.
Where does my car go after you load it?
Wherever you tell us. Your mechanic on Communipaw, a body shop in Kearny, a dealer on Route 440, your own driveway in the Heights. We do not steer cars to a yard that bills daily storage plus a release fee, and we charge no storage on a car that went straight to your destination.
Do I need a roadside plan or a membership to call you?
No. Anyone in Jersey City can dial and pay what was quoted. If a plan or your insurer covers towing, calling us directly and filing the itemized receipt afterward tends to beat waiting at night for the plan to find someone who will drive to the waterfront.
Can you tow an electric car, an all-wheel-drive crossover or a lowered car?
Yes, on a flatbed, four wheels up and strapped at the tires, which covers most of what parks in Newport and the Heights. Say what you drive; a low-angle approach is set up for anything that sits close to the road, and the correct truck comes the first time.
Question missing? The dispatcher has heard it before. Ask on the line.
Call (908) 666-3168More questions and answersTyping "tow truck near me" in Jersey City? The closest truck is usually already on this side of the bay
When you search for a tow truck near you in Jersey City, what matters is the truck nearest your cross street at this minute; ours work the Extension, Bayonne and the waterfront all night, and the dispatcher gives you the real arrival time of the closest one.
"Towing near me," "tow truck near me open now," "24 hour towing near me": all of those are one question with three parts. Who is closest, how soon, how much. This is the Jersey City answer.
Our yard is in Linden, about 28 minutes away by the Turnpike, and we say so plainly. But the trucks spend their nights on the Extension, in Bayonne and along the Hudson, which is why a call from Greenville or Downtown often gets a truck well inside that number.
Tow truck near Greenville, Route 440 and the Bayonne line
The south end of Jersey City is our nearest ground: up Route 440 from Bayonne or off Exit 14A. Ocean Avenue, Danforth, Society Hill and the Hudson Mall lots are minutes from a truck that is already working Bayonne.
Tow truck near Downtown, Newport and the Holland Tunnel
Exit 14C puts a truck at Grand Street and Marin Boulevard. The garages under the towers, the Newport Centre decks and the tunnel approaches are reached from the Extension or up Grand from Bergen-Lafayette. Tell dispatch the garage and the level.
Tow truck near Journal Square, the Heights and Tonnelle Avenue
The north side is the far end of the city from Linden, but a truck already on Route 139 or Tonnelle Avenue is closer than the yard ever was. JFK Boulevard, Central Avenue, Palisade Avenue and the Route 139 ramps are quoted from the truck's real position.
Tow truck near the West Side, Lincoln Park and the Hackensack bridges
West Side Avenue, the campus blocks, Route 440 and Routes 1 & 9 Truck to the Lincoln Highway Bridge. A truck coming off 14A is on West Side Avenue in a few minutes, and a truck returning from Kearny crosses the bridge straight into this district.
The nearest tow truck to you in Jersey City is one call away, and the dispatcher can tell you how many minutes.
