TOW TRUCK OPERATORS · WELLINGTON

Tow Truck Operators in Wellington

Wellington is hills, wind and old timber houses, and every one of those changes what a job costs — steps instead of a driveway, no parking outside, and weather that finds any gap in a building. Say where you are, from the city to the Hutt or the Kapiti Coast, and NovaPay asks businesses working there.

COMMON QUESTIONS
Does a Wellington business cover the Hutt and Kapiti?
Many do, but the further ends of the region carry travel time and it shows in the quote. NovaPay asks businesses covering your end first — the Kapiti Coast in particular is served by its own trades rather than by the city.
Why do Wellington quotes ask about access and steps?
Because they are most of the labour. Carrying materials up sixty steps or working off a boundary with no parking is genuinely a different job to the same work on a flat Hamilton section, and a quote that ignores it is the one that gets revised on the day.
I have broken down right now. What should I do?
Get somewhere safe first, and if you are on a motorway or in a dangerous spot, call your roadside service or 111 rather than waiting on quotes. This page is for arranged tows.
How is towing priced?
Usually a hook-up fee plus a per kilometre rate, with more for after hours, motorways and vehicles that will not roll. Ask for both parts rather than one total.
Does my insurance cover it?
After an accident, often yes, and your insurer may want to choose the yard. Check before agreeing to a tow to a particular workshop, since moving it twice is at your cost.
Can they move a car that has not run for years?
Yes, though a vehicle that will not roll or steer needs different equipment. Say what condition it is in and whether the wheels turn, because it changes which truck is sent.
