"How much will it cost?" is the first question everyone asks when calling a recovery service. Here are the factors that decide car recovery charges in Lahore, so you know what to expect.
Distance
The biggest factor is the distance from the recovery van to your car, and from your car to the drop-off. A short tow inside the same area costs less than a cross-city tow or an inter-city trip.
Type of vehicle
A small hatchback is easier to load than a large SUV, 4x4 or van. Heavier vehicles may need a bigger truck.
Flatbed or lifter
A wheel-lift (lifter) is usually the cheaper option for manual cars on short trips. A flatbed is needed for automatic, luxury, 4x4 and damaged cars. See flatbed vs wheel-lift.
Location and access
Motorway pickups, basements, narrow streets and cars stuck in ditches take more time and equipment.
Condition of the car
A car that rolls freely is quick to load. Locked wheels, accident damage or missing keys need winching or dollies.
How to get a fair price
- Share your exact pickup and drop-off locations
- Tell the operator the car model and whether it's automatic
- Mention anything unusual: basement, no keys, accident damage
- Confirm the full price before the van is sent
