Emergency Road Services and Charges

The Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission has authorized service providers under contract to provide towing and emergency road service to motorists on the PA Turnpike 24 hours every day. The authorized service providers respond to all dispatches and usually arrive at the scene of a disabled vehicle within 45 minutes.

Towing rates are based on mileage from the point of breakdown on the PA Turnpike to the contracted authorized service provider's facility. 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 upon before additional towing/service is performed.

• "Prevailing rates" are prices charged in the vicinity of the Authorized Service Provider's territory. For service in excess of 15 minutes to render a non-listed service, the Authorized Service Provider may charge a labor fee calculated at the prevailing, competitive hourly rate not to exceed fees normally charged.

Repairs made after leaving the PA Turnpike System are between the customer and the Authorized Service Provider.  Authorized Service Providers are permitted to charge a daily storage fee for vehicles left on their property.

Rates Apply Only to Mechanical Breakdowns.

There will be no roadway service charge when there is a towing charge.

The rates outlined below only apply to customers experiencing mechanical difficulties and do not apply to crashes, vehicle fires, or abandoned/impounded vehicles.
