Towing rates are based on mileage from the point of breakdown on the Pennsylvania Turnpike to the contracted garage. Should a customer wish to be towed to any other location of their choosing, the Authorized Service Provider may charge prevailing rates and payment arrangements shall be agreed before additional towing/service is performed.  Repairs after leaving the Pennsylvania Turnpike System are for direct arrangements between the customer and the Authorized Service Provider.  Any Authorized Service Provider is permitted to charge a daily storage fee for vehicles left on their property.
