How much is it to tow a car 50 miles?
I’m planning to sell my car to a buyer who lives far away from me. The car doesn’t run, so I’ll need to have it towed. How much does it cost to tow a car 50 miles away?

“The cost to tow a car 50 miles will vary from company to company. On average, you’re looking at somewhere between $150 to $300—or more.
To put it in perspective, short five- to 10-mile tows typically cost $50 to $125, plus a $75 hook-up fee and $2 to $4 per mile. Hence, the expenses add up quickly if you’re towing longer distances.
As an aside, it’s courteous to
