Vehicle breakdown, minor traffic accident, or the need for organized vehicle transport – these are all situations that require a fast, reliable, and efficient towing service response. However, one of the most common questions drivers ask in these moments is: What is the cost of towing per kilometer?
Below, we provide all the relevant information about how towing prices are calculated, the factors that influence the final amount, and how to ensure you receive a fair and transparent offer.
How is the towing price per kilometer calculated?
At first glance, it seems simple – measure the distance between the pickup location and the final destination and multiply by the price per kilometer. However, in practice, the towing fee usually includes several components.
The typical pricing model includes:
-
The tow truck’s trip from its base to the vehicle’s location
-
Transporting the vehicle to the desired address (service center, home address, garage, etc.)
-
Potentially, the return trip of the tow truck to its base (sometimes charged separately)
Example:
If your vehicle breaks down in Pančevo, and the tow truck comes from Belgrade and transports the vehicle to a service center in Zemun, the price calculation includes:
-
Belgrade → Pančevo (tow truck arrival)
-
Pančevo → Zemun (vehicle transport)
-
Optionally, the return trip (if applicable)
What is the average cost per kilometer?
The average towing cost per kilometer depends on several factors, but generally ranges between 100 and 150 RSD per kilometer for trips outside city limits. For urban towing, a fixed rate is often applied, usually between 2,000 and 3,000 RSD.
It’s important to note that nighttime interventions, as well as towing during weekends and holidays, usually incur additional charges—typically between 20% and 50% above the base price.
Besides distance, the price may also be affected by:
-
Type of vehicle: Transporting a motorcycle or small car is cheaper than towing a van or commercial vehicle
-
Vehicle condition: Damaged, stuck, or off-road vehicles require special equipment and more effort
-
Location and accessibility: Difficult-to-reach locations (e.g., narrow streets, forest roads) require special handling
-
Time of service: Nighttime, holidays, or adverse weather conditions increase costs
-
Return trip: Some services charge for the tow truck’s return journey
