What drives the price

Why tow truck pricing costs what it does in Downtown St. Paul

In St. Paul the work turns on which regime moved the car. I-94 and I-35E meet downtown, Wild games, Ordway shows and Capitol sessions stack posted and unposted restrictions, and a snow emergency runs a Night Plow phase from 9 p.m. and a Day Plow phase from 8 a.m. that clears downtown first. The quote is set before dispatch and it does not move.

Downtown St. Paul centers on the Xcel Energy Center and the Capitol complex, where Wild nights, Ordway shows and Capitol sessions stack posted and unposted restrictions on top of everyday enforcement. A snow emergency runs a Night Plow phase from 9 p.m. and a Day Plow from 8 a.m. that clears downtown first.

Local context

How we work Downtown St. Paul

Downtown St. Paul runs from the Mississippi River up to the Capitol complex, with the Xcel Energy Center, the RiverCentre and the Ordway drawing event crowds and I-94 and I-35E meeting at its edge. Kellogg, Wabasha, Robert and Seventh carry the downtown traffic. Wild games, concerts and Capitol-session parking all stack posted and unposted restrictions on top of the everyday enforcement, and a St. Paul snow emergency runs a Night Plow phase from 9 p.m. and a Day Plow phase from 8 a.m. that clears downtown first. The St. Paul Police impound lot is at 830 Barge Channel Rd, open every day from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m.; a snow-emergency tow instead goes to the lot at 1129 Cathlin St near the fairgrounds, so ask which one has your car. Operators cover the downtown core, the ramps and the river flats below.

Downtown St. Paul pricing FAQs

Common Downtown St. Paul cost questions

How much does a tow truck cost in Downtown St. Paul?

A local tow in Downtown St. Paul is quoted before the truck rolls, so the number you hear on the phone is the number on the invoice. A wheel lift and a flatbed are different prices because they're different jobs, and mileage past what your quote covers is stated in the quote rather than discovered at the drop.

Why is a tow more expensive at night in Downtown St. Paul?

Calls between 10pm and 6am may add an after-hours amount if the operator quotes one, because a truck and a driver have to be working overnight. Ask on the call before anyone is dispatched.

Does towing in Downtown St. Paul cost more for AWD or an EV?

It can, because all-wheel drive vehicles and every electric vehicle have to ride on a flatbed to avoid drivetrain or battery damage, and a flatbed carries a higher base than a wheel lift. We line up the right truck for the job, and the price is quoted before an operator is sent.

Can I get an exact tow price for Downtown St. Paul over the phone?

Yes. Leave where the vehicle is, what it is and where it's going. We line up an operator who quotes before dispatch. Call (952) 900-4065. It is a quote, not an estimate that changes when the truck arrives.
