What drives the price

Why out-of-town tow pricing costs what it does in Northwest Side

Chicago is where the interstates meet, so a long-distance tow out of the city usually has a real destination: Milwaukee, Indianapolis, Detroit, St. Louis or downstate Illinois. The whole route gets quoted before an operator hooks up, because the difference between a ten-mile move and a three-hundred-mile move is the entire conversation and not a detail to settle later.

The Kennedy runs diagonally across the whole side with the Blue Line in its median, and Milwaukee Avenue runs the same diagonal at street level. This is where the winter overnight parking ban bites hardest in residential Chicago, because Milwaukee, Irving Park and Cicero are exactly the kind of arterial it covers, and bungalow blocks with short driveways generate the blocked-driveway calls on top.

Local context

How we work Northwest Side

The Northwest Side is Chicago's Polish and Mexican bungalow belt and the Spanish-language center of the North Side. Belmont Cragin holds roughly 72,100 residents and is 78.1 percent Hispanic, Portage Park about 63,000 and 40.9 percent Hispanic, Hermosa 22,600 and 84.9 percent Hispanic, Montclare 14,300 and 60.7 percent, Dunning 41,200 and 36.7 percent, Jefferson Park 26,600 and 26.9 percent. The Kennedy Expressway cuts diagonally across the entire side with the Blue Line running in its median, and Milwaukee Avenue, the old Northwest Plank Road, runs the same diagonal at street level. Six Corners at Irving Park, Cicero and Milwaukee is one of the best-known intersections in the city, and the Portage Theater and the Copernicus Center at the Jefferson Park transit center anchor the two commercial cores. Montrose station sits in the Kennedy median. This is where the winter overnight parking ban bites hardest in residential Chicago: the ban runs on 107 miles of arterials from 3am to 7am, December 1 through April 1, whether or not snow is present, and Milwaukee, Irving Park and Cicero are exactly that kind of street. Bungalow blocks with short driveways and shared gangways produce the blocked-driveway calls the city routes through 312-746-4520. Operators cover the Kennedy corridor, Six Corners and the Milwaukee Avenue spine, and we answer in Spanish here as a matter of course.

Northwest Side pricing FAQs

Common Northwest Side cost questions

How much does a long-distance tow cost from Northwest Side?

Out-of-metro tows from Northwest Side are priced for the whole route rather than by a running meter, so a run to Milwaukee, Indianapolis or St. Louis is one quoted number that already includes the miles. Call (773) 830-6930 for a route quote.

Is long-distance towing priced per mile in Northwest Side?

A base plus a per-loaded-mile rate is how the quote gets built, but what you are given is one number before an operator hooks up. Mileage is not added at delivery. The figure quoted on the phone covers door to door.

Can you tow my car out of state from Northwest Side?

Yes. Chicago is where the interstates meet, so moves toward Wisconsin, Indiana, Michigan, Iowa and Missouri are routine from here. The full route is quoted before the truck leaves, including the reach needed to get to you.

Is a long-distance tow cheaper than shipping my car?

For a single vehicle on a direct route a tow is often faster and comparable in cost to broker car shipping, with no multi-day wait for a carrier to fill up. Call (773) 830-6930 and compare the two before you book either.
