Towing cost in Perth

Towing is a hook-up fee plus a per-kilometre rate, with accident towing regulated by maximum-fee schedules in NSW and Queensland.

See also: Heavy Vehicle and Freight Transport cost, Trailer Hire cost, Locksmith Prices cost.

The national ranges below are the honest baseline for Perth: no published Perth-specific figures met our sourcing bar, so local quotes land inside these bands, with WA labour rates and disposal fees the main local variables. This edition therefore points at the national Towing report as the canonical version until a sourced Perth figure lands.

Price ranges by job#

Figures are GST-inclusive guides compiled from published Australian cost sources. Bars sit on a shared log-scale axis (declared on the chart), so per-unit rates and whole-job prices read together; colour marks the position, money-green at the value end to ochre at the premium end.

  • NSW regulated accident tow$246

    first 10km, then $5/km (NSW Government)
