How it works

From your call to your receipt

Here’s exactly what happens when you ask CarrierElite for a tow — including when you pay. No surprises.

The process

Step by step

  1. 01

    You request a tow

    Phone or online

    Call dispatch at (571) 650-7576, or fill in the online request form.

  2. 02

    You see a suggested price

    Instant estimate

    Online requests show a price right away, based on driving distance, vehicle type, traffic and timing.

  3. 03

    Dispatch calls to confirm

    Price confirmed

    We confirm the pickup spot, the drop-off, the final price and when the truck will arrive.

  4. OK?

    Happy with the price?

    No →Nothing more to do. No charge.
  5. 04

    We text a secure payment link

    Hold, not charge

    You enter your card on a secure payment page. The amount is only held on your card, not charged.

  6. 05

    The truck is on the way

    Driver calls ahead

    Your driver calls when they’re close. Stay somewhere safe and keep your phone on.

  7. 06

    Pickup

    Photos taken

    The driver photographs your vehicle and loads it — on the flatbed with all four wheels strapped down, or on the wheel-lift when we’re moving a second car.

  8. 07

    Drop-off

    Photos taken

    We deliver to your shop, dealer, home or storage lot and photograph the vehicle again when we unload it.

  9. 08

    Your card is charged — receipt sent

    Pay on delivery

    Only once the job is done. You get a receipt you can send to your insurance or roadside plan.

Change of plans before the truck is sent? Call dispatch and the hold on your card is released. You pay nothing.

Paying

It depends on how you book

You book with us directly

The steps above: price confirmed on the phone, card held by secure link, charged after drop-off. We accept major credit and debit cards.

Through a roadside plan

If your insurance, car maker or motor club sends us, your plan pays us directly under your coverage. You only pay if the tow goes beyond what your plan covers — and you’ll be told first.

Business accounts

Body shops, dealers and fleets get one invoice a month with every tow itemized. No card needed per job.

Questions

Good to know

Is the online price final?

It’s a suggested price calculated from distance, vehicle type, traffic and timing. Dispatch confirms the final price with you on the phone before any truck is sent.

What does a “hold” on my card mean?

Your bank sets the amount aside but doesn’t take it. It’s only charged after your vehicle is delivered. If the job is cancelled before the truck is sent, the hold is released.

What if the job turns out to be different?

If the driver finds something that changes the work — for example the vehicle is stuck off the road and needs winching — they’ll explain and agree any extra cost with you before doing it.

Can I ride in the truck?

Tell dispatch how many people are with the vehicle when you call, and we’ll let you know what we can do.

Do I get proof of the tow for insurance?

Yes. Your receipt shows the pickup and drop-off locations and the price, and we keep the pickup and drop-off photos on file.

Need a tow right now?
