24 hour towing service in Bayonne, NJ: tow truck near you, 25 minutes from our Linden dispatch
Flatbed and wheel-lift trucks dispatched to Bayonne around the clock. A long peninsula city between Newark Bay and the Kill Van Kull: rowhouses and two-family homes on a numbered-street grid, Broadway's commercial spine running the whole length, the Bayonne Bridge to Staten Island, and the port and container terminals on the east side. A real dispatcher answers, quotes a flat price, and tells you when the truck arrives.
A tow truck near you in Bayonne: dispatched from Linden, 25 minutes away, around the clock
Bayonne is roughly 25 minutes from The NJ Towing Service yard in Linden; flatbeds and wheel-lift trucks run there around the clock, the price is fixed on the phone, and nobody needs a membership to call.
Our trucks reach Bayonne in roughly 25 minutes. That makes it our second response zone, and it shapes everything below. A long peninsula city between Newark Bay and the Kill Van Kull: rowhouses and two-family homes on a numbered-street grid, Broadway's commercial spine running the whole length, the Bayonne Bridge to Staten Island, and the port and container terminals on the east side. Street parking is fought for block by block, and the Turnpike's Hudson extension runs across the north end.
When you search for a tow truck near you from Bayonne, this is the page that answers: what we tow here, which roads we run to reach you, how the parking and the streets change the job, and what it costs. If you are stuck right now, skip all of it and call (908) 444-0129. A dispatcher answers 24 hours a day and quotes a flat price before the truck leaves Linden.
How close our trucks really are to Bayonne
We do not list every town in New Jersey; we list the ones a truck from Linden can reach inside 45 minutes and quote honestly. Bayonne is roughly 25 minutes out by NJ Turnpike Hudson County Extension, Route 440 and Broadway, and the dispatcher builds your arrival window from where the nearest available truck actually is, not from a slogan. Rush hour and storms stretch it, and you are told so on the call.
How Bayonne's streets and parking change a tow
Alternate-side street parking on nearly every residential block, so cars are boxed in and need a dolly to slide out before loading. Light-rail park-and-ride lots and the shopping-center lots are the open spots; a few new waterfront buildings have garages with low clearance. Tell the dispatcher exactly where the car is in Bayonne and the driver arrives with the right rigging out: boards for a low bumper, skates for a nose-in spot, a dolly for a wheel that will not turn.
The Bayonne spots that produce the most tow calls
Most Bayonne calls come from a short list of places: Broadway commercial corridor, Bayonne Medical Center, Stephen R. Gregg Park and Hudson County Park, Bayonne Crossing shopping center and Bayonne Bridge, and the lots at Hudson-Bergen Light Rail stations at 8th Street, 22nd Street, 34th Street and 45th Street with park-and-ride lots and Bayonne ferry (Cape Liberty). Dead batteries in the lots, lockouts at the pumps and the stores, breakdowns on NJ Turnpike Hudson County Extension, and the occasional car that has to move before a ticket.
Flat towing prices in Bayonne, quoted before the truck rolls
A tow in Bayonne is a flat hook fee plus mileage to the destination you name. Roadside services such as a jump start or a lockout are one flat price each. The dispatcher quotes the total on the call, and the receipt matches it. No night surcharge, no fuel surcharge, no passenger fee.

Call (908) 444-0129Towing in Hudson CountyNJ Turnpike Hudson County Extension, Route 440, Broadway and Kennedy Boulevard: how our trucks reach Bayonne and what happens on each road
From Linden we reach Bayonne by NJ Turnpike Hudson County Extension, Route 440 and Broadway, using NJ Turnpike Exit 14A and Route 440 / Bayonne Bridge, and we respond to breakdowns on every one of them; on the Turnpike and Parkway shoulders the Authority's authorized garage brings the car off the highway and we take it from the exit.
The dispatcher in Linden knows Bayonne by its roads: NJ Turnpike Hudson County Extension, Route 440 and Broadway and the streets between them. Each one below comes with the note our drivers actually use, from the narrow shoulder to the ramp that ices first. On the call, give the road, the direction and the nearest cross street or exit, and the truck approaches from the right side.
A breakdown on NJ Turnpike Hudson County Extension by Bayonne: who tows from the shoulder and who takes it from the exit
Exit 14A is Bayonne's; the ramps onto Route 440 and Avenue E are the busiest breakdown spots in the city. On the New Jersey Turnpike and the Garden State Parkway the shoulder itself is served by the Turnpike Authority's authorized garages; book with us anyway, and once the authorized truck has the car off the highway we take it from the exit or the garage's lot to the shop or driveway you choose, at the same flat quoted price.
Tow truck response on Route 440, Bayonne
The east-side truck route to the port and the Bayonne Bridge; fast, with tight merges and constant collisions. Stay in the car with the hazards on if you are on a shoulder of Route 440; the driver positions the truck behind you with the amber bar running before he steps out.
Tow truck response on Broadway, Bayonne
The full-length commercial spine; double-parked, slow, and where most lockouts and jump starts happen. Stay in the car with the hazards on if you are on a shoulder of Broadway; the driver positions the truck behind you with the amber bar running before he steps out.
Kennedy Boulevard breakdowns and tows in Bayonne
The west-side spine to Jersey City; parked up on both sides. On Kennedy Boulevard we ask the direction first, because approaching from the wrong side can add ten minutes.
Tow truck response on Avenue C / Avenue E, Bayonne
Long residential and industrial spines; Avenue E carries the heavy trucks. A breakdown on Avenue C / Avenue E is quoted the same flat way as anywhere else in Bayonne: hook plus mileage to wherever you want the car.
Tow truck response on Bayonne Bridge (Route 440), Bayonne
The approach ramps ice first and back up whenever the bridge slows. A breakdown on Bayonne Bridge (Route 440) is quoted the same flat way as anywhere else in Bayonne: hook plus mileage to wherever you want the car.
The exits our trucks take for Bayonne
Our drivers reach Bayonne by NJ Turnpike Exit 14A and Route 440 / Bayonne Bridge. On the highway, the nearest exit number and your direction are what the dispatcher needs first. For the Turnpike and Parkway express lanes with no exit, the Authority's garage handles the shoulder and we meet the car at the exit.
If you are on the side of Route 440 or any road near Bayonne: belt on, hazards on, then call and name the road, the direction and the exit.
Call from the shoulderEmergency towingEvery towing service we dispatch to Bayonne: emergency, flatbed, accident, local, long distance, motorcycle, heavy duty and winch-out
Emergency towing, flatbed towing, accident towing, local towing, long distance towing, motorcycle towing, heavy duty towing and winch out: all eight run to Bayonne from Linden around the clock, and each has its own Bayonne page below.
Towing in Bayonne is not one job. A commuter car dead in a driveway, an SUV with a flat on NJ Turnpike Hudson County Extension, a box truck down near Bayonne Bridge and a sedan in a ditch after the first snow are four different trucks and four different prices. Each service below has a Bayonne-specific page with the details.
Bayonne emergency towing
Emergency towing in Bayonne means the car is not moving and you need it gone now: from Cape Liberty Cruise Port and the Military Ocean Terminal redevelopment, from a driveway in Bergen Point, from the shoulder of Broadway. The dispatcher quotes the tow, the nearest truck is assigned while you are on the line, and it costs the same at 3 a.m. as at 3 p.m. See emergency towing in Bayonne.
Flatbed Towing in Bayonne
All-wheel-drive SUVs, electric cars, lowered and luxury cars and anything that will not roll ride on a flatbed with all four wheels strapped at the tires. Alternate-side street parking on nearly every residential block, so cars are boxed in and need a dolly to slide out before loading, so the driver plans the approach before he leaves. Details on flatbed towing in Bayonne.
Accident Towing for Bayonne drivers
A crash in Bayonne, whether on Broadway or in a lot at Bayonne Bridge, ends with two decisions: who tows the car and where it goes. Make both yours: call us before the rotation truck arrives, and we clear the lane, photograph the damage for the claim and deliver the car to the body shop you pick. See accident towing in Bayonne.
Local Towing for Bayonne drivers
A local tow is the planned kind: to a shop in Bayonne or in Jersey City, from the dealer, out of a driveway where a project car has sat too long, or to the inspection station on a car with dead plates. Hook plus mileage, quoted on the call, scheduled for a time that suits you or sent right away. See local towing in Bayonne.
Long Distance Towing for Bayonne drivers
A car that has to go a long way from Bayonne rides on a dedicated flatbed at a quoted per-mile price, photographed at both ends and checked at every stop. Details on long distance towing in Bayonne.
Motorcycle Towing in Bayonne
A motorcycle from Bayonne never rides on a sling or a wheel-lift; it stands upright in a front-wheel chock on the flatbed with soft loops on the bars and the fairings protected. A breakdown on Broadway, a bike that will not start after winter storage, or a drop in the driveway: say the model and it is loaded right. See motorcycle towing in Bayonne.
Bayonne heavy duty towing
A box truck stalled near Bayonne Bridge, a landscaping rig with a trailer on Broadway, a bus or a tractor working Bayonne: each needs a truck rated for its weight, and the dispatcher picks it from the GVWR you give. Whether it is loaded and whether it rolls decides the rigging. Fleets get one monthly invoice. See heavy duty towing in Bayonne.
Bayonne winch out
A car that left the pavement in Bayonne but is not broken is a winch-out: a snow bank at the end of a driveway, the soft shoulder of Broadway, a ditch off a back road. The driver rigs to a proper recovery point, pulls the car straight back the way it went in, and you drive off; if it will not drive, the tow is quoted right there. See winch out in Bayonne.
You do not have to name the service. Describe the car and where it is in Bayonne, and dispatch chooses and prices the job.
Call (908) 444-0129All servicesRoadside help in Bayonne without a membership: jump starts, tire changes, lockouts and fuel delivery
Roadside assistance in Bayonne means a technician at your car in roughly 25 minutes for a jump, a tire change, a lockout or fuel, each at a single flat price, with the flatbed dispatched from the same conversation if the car needs it after all.
Half the calls from Bayonne that start as "I need a tow" end as a roadside fix for less money. The lots at Hudson-Bergen Light Rail stations at 8th Street, 22nd Street, 34th Street and 45th Street with park-and-ride lots and Bayonne ferry (Cape Liberty) produce dead batteries all winter. The lots at Bayonne Bridge produce lockouts. NJ Turnpike Hudson County Extension produces flats and empty tanks. A technician handles all of it.
Bayonne roadside assistance
Most Bayonne breakdowns are not tows. A technician with a jump pack, a jack, lockout tools or a fuel can fixes it on the spot for less than a tow, and the flatbed is dispatched from the same call if it turns out to be needed. See roadside assistance in Bayonne.
Bayonne jump start
Click, click, nothing in Bayonne? A tech with a professional jump pack starts it and tests the battery. If it is finished, we say so and can tow the car to the shop you choose from the same call. See jump start in Bayonne.
Flat Tire Change in Bayonne
Potholes on Route 440 and Broadway shred sidewalls and bend rims every spring. A tech installs your spare with a floor jack, an impact gun and the truck shielding the scene; no usable spare means a tow to the tire shop you pick, quoted on the same call. See flat tire change in Bayonne.
Car Lockout for Bayonne drivers
Locked out in Bayonne, at Cape Liberty Cruise Port and the Military Ocean Terminal redevelopment, at a pump on Broadway or in your own driveway: the technician opens the door with an inflatable wedge and a long-reach tool, without touching the wiring or the glass, and checks your ID afterward. A child or a pet inside means 911 first, then us. See car lockout in Bayonne.
Bayonne fuel delivery
Ran dry on Route 440 or in a Bayonne driveway with the needle on E since last night? Enough gas or diesel to reach the next station, delivered 24/7, with diesel priming help if the tank ran fully empty. Wrong fuel in the tank: do not start it; we tow it to be drained. See fuel delivery in Bayonne.
A jump, a spare, an unlocked door or a few gallons of gas in Bayonne: one call, one flat price, no plan to join.
Call (908) 444-0129Roadside assistance in BayonneEvery Bayonne neighborhood gets the same truck: Downtown / Broadway, Uptown Bayonne, Pamrapo and MOTBY / Peninsula at Bayonne Harbor and more
Downtown / Broadway, Uptown Bayonne, Pamrapo, MOTBY / Peninsula at Bayonne Harbor, Country Village, Bergen Point and Constable Hook: every section of Bayonne gets towing and roadside help at the same flat quoted price.
Bayonne has 7 named sections our drivers know, and the approach changes from one to the next. Alternate-side street parking on nearly every residential block, so cars are boxed in and need a dolly to slide out before loading. Light-rail park-and-ride lots and the shopping-center lots are the open spots; a few new waterfront buildings have garages with low clearance. Below, what a tow looks like in each.
Towing and roadside help in Downtown / Broadway
Whether the car is in Downtown / Broadway or across town, the process is identical: you call (908) 444-0129, say where the car is and what happened, hear the price, and the truck rolls. Downtown / Broadway matters only for the approach, and the driver already knows it.
Towing and roadside help in Uptown Bayonne
Whether the car is in Uptown Bayonne or across town, the process is identical: you call (908) 444-0129, say where the car is and what happened, hear the price, and the truck rolls. Uptown Bayonne matters only for the approach, and the driver already knows it.
Tow truck in Pamrapo, Bayonne
Whether the car is in Pamrapo or across town, the process is identical: you call (908) 444-0129, say where the car is and what happened, hear the price, and the truck rolls. Pamrapo matters only for the approach, and the driver already knows it.
Tow truck in MOTBY / Peninsula at Bayonne Harbor, Bayonne
MOTBY / Peninsula at Bayonne Harbor gets the same 24-hour response as the rest of Bayonne: a dispatcher who quotes the job, a truck from Linden in roughly 25 minutes, and a driver who calls when he is minutes out. Give the cross streets in MOTBY / Peninsula at Bayonne Harbor and whether the car is in a driveway, on the street or in a lot, and the truck arrives set up for it.
Country Village: what a tow looks like here
Calls from Country Village are quoted the same flat way as anywhere in Bayonne: hook fee plus mileage to the shop or driveway you choose, or one flat price for a roadside fix. Tell the dispatcher the nearest cross street in Country Village; it is faster than a house number on a long Bayonne block.
Towing and roadside help in Bergen Point
Calls from Bergen Point are quoted the same flat way as anywhere in Bayonne: hook fee plus mileage to the shop or driveway you choose, or one flat price for a roadside fix. Tell the dispatcher the nearest cross street in Bergen Point; it is faster than a house number on a long Bayonne block.
Tow truck in Constable Hook, Bayonne
Calls from Constable Hook are quoted the same flat way as anywhere in Bayonne: hook fee plus mileage to the shop or driveway you choose, or one flat price for a roadside fix. Tell the dispatcher the nearest cross street in Constable Hook; it is faster than a house number on a long Bayonne block.
Downtown / Broadway or the far side of Bayonne: one number, one flat price, one 24-hour dispatch.
Call (908) 444-0129Contact dispatchWhere we get called in Bayonne: Broadway commercial corridor, Bayonne Medical Center and Stephen R. Gregg Park and Hudson County Park and the roads between them
In Bayonne the pickups cluster at Broadway commercial corridor, Bayonne Medical Center, Stephen R. Gregg Park and Hudson County Park, Bayonne Crossing shopping center and Bayonne Bridge and the lots at Hudson-Bergen Light Rail stations at 8th Street, 22nd Street, 34th Street and 45th Street with park-and-ride lots and Bayonne ferry (Cape Liberty); whichever it is, a truck or a tech is there in roughly 25 minutes.
Broadway commercial corridor: tow truck and roadside response
Whether it is a breakdown, a flat, a lockout or a car that has to be moved before the lot closes, Broadway commercial corridor gets the same flat quoted price and the same 24-hour response as everywhere else in Bayonne.
Towing at Bayonne Medical Center
Whether it is a breakdown, a flat, a lockout or a car that has to be moved before the lot closes, Bayonne Medical Center gets the same flat quoted price and the same 24-hour response as everywhere else in Bayonne.
Stephen R. Gregg Park and Hudson County Park: tow truck and roadside response
A car that will not start at Stephen R. Gregg Park and Hudson County Park is a jump start first and a tow only if the battery is finished; keys locked in the car are a lockout. Say which lot or which side of Stephen R. Gregg Park and Hudson County Park, and the technician or truck comes to the car.
Breakdowns and roadside help at Bayonne Crossing shopping center
Bayonne Crossing shopping center is one of the places Bayonne drivers call from most. Tell the dispatcher the name and the nearest entrance or lot section; the driver knows where a truck can stop and how to reach a car boxed in by others. A dead battery or a lockout here is usually a roadside fix, not a tow.
Towing at Bayonne Bridge
A car that will not start at Bayonne Bridge is a jump start first and a tow only if the battery is finished; keys locked in the car are a lockout. Say which lot or which side of Bayonne Bridge, and the technician or truck comes to the car.
Breakdowns and roadside help at Cape Liberty Cruise Port and the Military Ocean Terminal redevelopment
We reach Cape Liberty Cruise Port and the Military Ocean Terminal redevelopment in roughly 25 minutes from Linden. The driver calls when he is close to Cape Liberty Cruise Port and the Military Ocean Terminal redevelopment so you can meet him at the car. If the car cannot roll it is winched onto the flatbed; if it is in a spot at Cape Liberty Cruise Port and the Military Ocean Terminal redevelopment the truck cannot reach, skates move it to where the truck can.
Dead batteries and lockouts at Hudson-Bergen Light Rail stations at 8th Street, 22nd Street, 34th Street and 45th Street with park-and-ride lots and Bayonne ferry (Cape Liberty)
Station lots are where Bayonne batteries go to die: ten hours parked, a light left on, and a dark walk back to a car that clicks. The tech starts it from a commercial jump pack and tests the battery before leaving so you are not stranded again at the next stop. A key locked in the car on the platform side is opened without scratching a thing. Both are flat-priced; details on jump starts in Bayonne and car lockouts in Bayonne.
If you are at one of these Bayonne spots now, say which one and where in the lot; a truck or a tech is dispatched on the call.
Call (908) 444-0129Jump start in BayonneWhat a good towing company in Bayonne does on the phone, and the signs of one that will overcharge you
Five checks separate a straight towing company in Bayonne from an expensive one: the whole price up front, a real arrival window from Linden, the car delivered where you say, a receipt that lists every charge, and no truck that turns up uninvited on the shoulder of Route 440.
Most drivers in Bayonne pick a tow company once, in a hurry, from a search result. Here is what to listen for in the first minute of the call, whoever you call.
The first question: what is the total, before dispatch
A towing price has two parts, the truck and the miles, and both can be settled before anyone leaves Linden for Bayonne. "We will figure it out on scene" means the number gets decided when you can no longer say no. We give the total on the call, whether it is hook plus mileage or a flat roadside rate, and the receipt matches it to the dollar. The pricing section shows how the total comes together.
The second question: how far away is the truck, really
"Twenty minutes" from a call center that is booking a subcontractor means nothing. Our trucks leave Linden, 25 minutes from Bayonne off-peak, and the dispatcher can see where the nearest one is. You hear the real window, including the bad news at rush hour. Everything on this page is built on that real distance; see the roads section.
Make sure the car goes where you say
You choose the destination: your own mechanic, the dealer, a body shop or your driveway, in Bayonne or over the line in Jersey City. A company that nudges you toward "our shop" or "our lot" is setting up a second bill for storage or repairs. This matters most after an accident in Bayonne, when the pressure to accept whatever is suggested is highest; you do not have to.
The fourth rule: only the truck you called
Trucks that appear uninvited at a crash on Route 440 or the highways around Bayonne are chasing the job, and the invoice that follows is the reason the state regulates non-consensual tows. Our driver identifies the company and says your name on arrival. If another truck gets there first, say no and wait; that is your right.
Insist on an itemized receipt
Hook fee, mileage, addresses, time, plate. That is what an insurer, a warranty company or a roadside plan needs to reimburse you, and it is what you need if anything is questioned later. We send it by text or email at the drop. Questions afterward go to the same dispatch line at (908) 444-0129, not a billing office. More on contacting dispatch.
Put the five questions to us. Every answer is already on this page, and the dispatcher gives the same ones out loud.
Call and askService areaHow much a tow costs in Bayonne, NJ, and why the number is quoted before the truck leaves Linden
The price of a tow from Bayonne has two parts, a hook fee and mileage to your destination, and you hear the total on the call; roadside jobs are single flat prices; there is no surcharge for the hour, the day or the fuel.
Hook fee plus mileage from Bayonne
Hook fee first: it pays for the dispatch, the loading and the driver's time at the car. Then mileage, counted from the pickup in Bayonne to the drop. A tow to a shop in Bayonne or nearby Jersey City is usually inside the base mileage; one across Hudson County or beyond is quoted at the per-mile rate. The dispatcher gives you the sum, not the parts.
Flat roadside prices in Bayonne
Each roadside service in Bayonne, a jump start, a tire change, a lockout, a fuel delivery or a winch-out, carries a single price that is the same at 3 a.m., on a Sunday and in the middle of a storm. Delivered fuel is charged at cost on top. When a roadside job turns out to need the flatbed, you pay for the tow alone, not for a second call-out.
Surcharges you will not find on a Bayonne receipt
No fuel surcharge. No after-hours surcharge. No passenger fee. No administrative fee. No storage, because the car goes where you told us, not to our yard. If a driver ever asks for a different number than dispatch quoted for the same job in Bayonne, call dispatch from the scene.
How to pay in Bayonne, and how to get the money back
Pay by any major card, Apple Pay, Google Pay or cash at the car; fleet accounts run on net terms. The receipt itemizes the Bayonne pickup, the drop-off, the miles and the service, which is exactly what an insurer or a roadside plan asks for. An accident tow is almost always covered under collision, and most roadside memberships pay back an out-of-network call up to their limit.
Want the number for a tow in Bayonne before you decide? Call; the quote takes half a minute and costs nothing.
Call for a quoteSchedule a towHow the season changes towing in Bayonne: what breaks on Route 440 and Broadway in January, April, July and October
The trucks run to Bayonne in every month, but what they are sent for follows the calendar: dead batteries and ice on Route 440 in winter, pothole damage in spring, overheating and blown tires in summer, storms and deer strikes in the fall. Waterfront streets on both bays flood in nor'easters; the bridge and Turnpike ramps ice first.
Ask a dispatcher what Bayonne sends us in a given month and the answer is specific: dead batteries at Hudson-Bergen Light Rail stations at 8th Street, 22nd Street, 34th Street and 45th Street with park-and-ride lots in January, bent wheels off Broadway in April, overheated cars on Route 440 in July, cars off the ramps in October. The notes below say what to expect from towing in each season in this corner of Hudson County.
Towing in Bayonne in winter: snow, ice and dead batteries
Winter emergency tows are mostly cars that slid, stalled in a drift or died at a light in the cold; the flatbed carries chains and a snatch block for the ones that left the pavement. In Bayonne the hills and the shaded side streets ice first; say whether the car is on a slope so the driver brings the right rigging.
March and April in Bayonne: potholes, bent wheels and inspection failures
Spring brings suspension and tire damage from potholes; a car that hit one hard and now pulls or clunks should ride a flatbed rather than be driven. The spring calls cluster around Bayonne Bridge and along Route 440, where the traffic is heaviest and the pavement breaks first; if the steering wheel sits off-center after a hit, the car rides the flatbed to an alignment shop rather than chewing up a new tire on the way.
Heat, holiday traffic and summer storms in Bayonne
Summer emergencies are overheating and blown tires at speed; pull off, hood closed, and let the truck bring it to a shop before the head gasket goes. Holiday weekends load Route 440 with traffic and the shoulders with cars; if the temperature gauge climbs, pull off early, because a tow is cheaper than an engine.
Fall towing in Bayonne: wet leaves, early dark and deer
In the fall the calls shift to deer strikes at dusk and wet-leaf spins on the ramps; both end with a flatbed and a body shop. The first cold night of the fall exposes every weak battery in Bayonne; a jump start gets you moving and the tech tells you if the battery will hold. See jump starts in Bayonne.
The seasons change the calls from Bayonne, not the way we answer them: call (908) 444-0129, describe the car, and hear the price before the truck rolls.
Call (908) 444-0129Roadside assistance in BayonneWaiting for a tow truck in Bayonne: what to do on Route 440, in the driveway, in a lot and in a garage
Get the car as far out of traffic as it will roll, hazards on, stay belted inside unless the car itself is in danger, keep your phone charged for the driver's call, and have the key, license and registration ready.
Shoulder stop near Bayonne: Route 440, or the Turnpike and Parkway
If the car still rolls, get it fully onto the shoulder or off at the next exit. Turn the wheels away from traffic. Hazards on. Stay in the car, belted, unless the car is in danger; then get behind the guardrail well away from it. Exit 14A is Bayonne's; the ramps onto Route 440 and Avenue E are the busiest breakdown spots in the city. Do not accept a tow from a truck that shows up uninvited; ours says the company name and your name. Turnpike and Parkway shoulders are served by the Authority's authorized garages. Book with us and we take the car from the exit or the garage's lot.
In a Bayonne driveway or on the street
Alternate-side street parking on nearly every residential block, so cars are boxed in and need a dolly to slide out before loading. Light-rail park-and-ride lots and the shopping-center lots are the open spots; a few new waterfront buildings have garages with low clearance. Move anything the driver will need to get past, unlock the car, and have the key in hand. If the car is on a street with alternate-side rules or a sweeping window, tell the dispatcher; we can move the car before the ticket.
In a parking lot or under a deck in Bayonne
Give the name of the place, the lot section or the level of the garage, and the clearance on the sign if you can see one. Most decks are too low for a flatbed, so the car is brought to the entrance on skates or a dolly and loaded in the open. If you can, wait at the car, and take your things out of it before it goes on the truck.
Keep the phone on and the paperwork ready
The driver calls when he is a few minutes out so you know which truck is yours. Have your license, registration and insurance card ready; after a lockout we ask for them before we leave. At the destination you get an itemized receipt. One Bayonne note: Waterfront streets on both bays flood in nor'easters; the bridge and Turnpike ramps ice first.
Belt on, hazards on, phone charged. Make the call; the driver rings you before he reaches Bayonne.
Call from the shoulderEmergency towing in BayonneThe Bayonne drivers who call us for towing, and what each one needs
Towing in Bayonne serves roughly 71,000 residents and everyone driving through: commuters at Hudson-Bergen Light Rail stations at 8th Street, 22nd Street, 34th Street and 45th Street with park-and-ride lots, families in the residential streets, businesses near Bayonne Bridge, and drivers who only know Bayonne as an exit on Route 440.
A long peninsula city between Newark Bay and the Kill Van Kull: rowhouses and two-family homes on a numbered-street grid, Broadway's commercial spine running the whole length, the Bayonne Bridge to Staten Island, and the port and container terminals on the east side. Street parking is fought for block by block, and the Turnpike's Hudson extension runs across the north end. That mix shapes the towing calls we get from Bayonne.
Bayonne commuters, from the platform at Hudson-Bergen Light Rail stations at 8th Street, 22nd Street, 34th Street and 45th Street with park-and-ride lots to the driveway
Commuters make up most of the towing calls we get from Bayonne, and Hudson-Bergen Light Rail stations at 8th Street, 22nd Street, 34th Street and 45th Street with park-and-ride lots is where many of them start: the car sat all day and will not turn over at 6 p.m. The dispatcher quotes the tow to your shop or your driveway on the call, and says so if a jump or a tire would be the cheaper fix. What a commuter needs is an honest arrival window, and that is what the dispatcher gives.
Families in the residential streets of Bayonne
The city has a lot of two- and three-car households, and the spare car is the one that fails. A local tow to the shop or the dealer is priced as hook plus mileage, quoted on the call. If you are locked out with a child inside, call 911 first and then us; that call goes to the front of the line.
Bayonne businesses: the vehicles that earn money by moving
Vans, pickups and delivery cars around Bayonne Bridge cannot sit for a day. A small business in Bayonne gets the same dispatcher and the same flat quote, plus an itemized receipt that works for the books. Larger trucks are a heavy-duty job in Bayonne, and the dispatcher knows the difference from the make and model.
Drivers passing through Bayonne on Route 440
Plenty of the drivers who break down in Bayonne have never heard of it; they were on Route 440 heading somewhere else. Tell the dispatcher the road, your direction and the last exit you passed, such as NJ Turnpike Exit 14A, and the truck finds you. The car can go to a shop here, to your home town or anywhere in the 45-minute area, quoted as one number.
It does not matter which of these drivers you are; (908) 444-0129 reaches the same Bayonne dispatch 24 hours a day, and the price is quoted before the truck moves.

Call nowHudson County towingQuestions Bayonne drivers ask before they call a tow truck
How long the truck takes to reach Bayonne, what it costs, which truck comes, where the car can go, garages, insurance and what to do while you wait; anything not covered, a dispatcher answers live.
What is the arrival time for a tow in Bayonne?
On a normal day, roughly 25 minutes from the Linden yard; Bayonne is zone 2, 20–35 minutes. Traffic on NJ Turnpike Hudson County Extension at rush hour and storms add to it, and the dispatcher quotes the real window on the call rather than a hopeful one.
How is a tow from Bayonne priced?
Hook fee plus a per-mile rate to wherever the car is going, and you hear the total on the phone before the truck moves. Most tows to a shop in Bayonne or Jersey City stay inside the base mileage. Roadside jobs are single flat prices. Nothing extra for night, weekend, holiday or fuel.
Can I bring my car to you in Bayonne?
There is no shop in Bayonne. We are a mobile service dispatched from Linden, 25 minutes away, and the truck comes to the car wherever it is in town; there is nowhere you need to drive to.
Do you tow AWD and electric cars in Bayonne?
Yes, on a flatbed only, so no drive wheels are dragged. Tell the dispatcher the make and model and the right truck comes the first time. See flatbed towing in Bayonne.
Which shops do you tow to from Bayonne?
Wherever you say: your own mechanic, the dealer, a body shop or your driveway, in Bayonne, in Jersey City or farther. We do not have a storage yard and we do not choose the shop for you. A destination beyond the 45-minute area is priced per mile.
What if my car is in a garage in Bayonne the truck cannot enter?
We can. Alternate-side street parking on nearly every residential block, so cars are boxed in and need a dolly to slide out before loading. Light-rail park-and-ride lots and the shopping-center lots are the open spots; a few new waterfront buildings have garages with low clearance. Decks are too low for a flatbed, so the car is moved out to the entrance on skates or a dolly and loaded there. Tell dispatch where the car is and which level.
Is there room for me in the cab on a tow from Bayonne?
In most cases one passenger can ride in the cab to the destination. Tell the dispatcher how many people are with the car.
Do I need a membership or insurance to call you in Bayonne?
No. You call, we come, you pay by card, Apple Pay, Google Pay or cash. We give you an itemized receipt; most insurance policies and roadside plans reimburse an out-of-network tow.
What if my car in Bayonne just needs a jump, a tire or a lockout?
Tell the dispatcher, or just describe what the car is doing and let dispatch decide. A roadside technician costs less than a tow and usually gets you driving again on the spot. See roadside assistance in Bayonne.
A rotation tow is on its way to my crash in Bayonne. Can I use you instead?
Usually. If our truck can arrive within a reasonable time and the car is not blocking traffic, most officers release it to the tow of your choice; tell the officer yours is coming. If the car has already gone to a rotation yard, we pick it up on a signed release and stop the storage fees that day. See accident towing in Bayonne.
Is towing in Bayonne available at 3 a.m. or on a holiday?
Around the clock, every day. Dispatch never closes, and the price structure for Bayonne does not change for the hour, the weekend or the holiday.
Which towns near Bayonne do you also cover?
Jersey City, Linden, Elizabeth and Newark, plus every town within 45 minutes of Linden in Hudson County and eight other counties, each with a page of its own.
