Why Choose RT Towing NYC
We Know NYC Like Nobody Else
Our drivers aren't just familiar with NYC—they live and work here. They know that the FDR Drive backs up southbound every afternoon, so they'll take the West Side Highway instead. They know the shortcuts through Astoria when the BQE is a parking lot. They know which streets in Manhattan allow commercial vehicles and which ones will get us stuck or ticketed.
This local knowledge matters when you're waiting on the side of the road. We don't rely on GPS alone—we use real-time traffic monitoring combined with years of experience navigating this city's streets. We know how to maneuver large tow trucks through narrow Brooklyn streets, tight Manhattan garages, and challenging loading situations throughout all five boroughs.
We've also handled every type of recovery situation NYC throws at us. Vehicles stuck in underground parking garages with low ceilings, cars wedged into impossible street parking spots, motorcycles that need extraction from tight spaces, and commercial trucks broken down in spots where every minute of blocking traffic matters. Experience with NYC's unique challenges makes the difference.
We're Available 24/7—For Real
When we say 24-hour service, we mean you'll reach a real person any time you call. Not an answering machine. Not a call center overseas. Not a service that takes messages and promises someone will call you back. When you call RT Towing at 3 AM on a Tuesday or noon on Christmas Day, you'll talk to someone who can dispatch a truck immediately.
I've heard too many stories from customers who called other "24-hour" towing companies only to reach voicemail or be put on hold indefinitely. Car problems don't wait for business hours, and neither do we. Our dispatch operates around the clock with multiple trucks available to handle NYC's constant demand for towing services.
Honest Pricing Without Games
We quote the price before we dispatch. That means you know what you're paying before our truck even leaves. When we arrive, the price doesn't magically increase because of "mileage fees" or "special handling charges" that weren't mentioned on the phone. The quote we give you is what you pay.
We're also honest about what you actually need. If roadside assistance will solve your problem for less money than towing, we'll tell you. If your car can be driven to a repair shop after a minor fix, we'll let you know instead of insisting on an expensive tow. We're building a business based on trust and repeat customers, not maximizing profit on every single call.
Many insurance policies include towing coverage. If yours does, we work with all major insurance companies and can usually bill them directly. Just let us know when you call and we'll handle the paperwork.

TESTIMONIALS
What Our Client Says About Us
"My car died on the FDR Drive around midnight on a Saturday. I was terrified sitting on the shoulder with traffic flying by. RT Towing answered immediately, told me to get out of the car and wait safely, and had a truck there in 25 minutes. The driver was professional, got my car loaded quickly, and delivered it to my mechanic in Astoria. The price was exactly what they quoted on the phone. Highly recommend them for emergency situations."
Sarah K., Astoria
"I've lived in New York for 15 years and have dealt with several towing companies. RT Towing is by far the best. They towed my BMW on a flatbed from Tribeca to a body shop in Jersey City after a minor accident. The driver was careful with the car, communicated clearly, and even helped me deal with the parking garage attendant who was being difficult. Professional operation all around."
Marcus L., Tribeca
"Our delivery truck broke down on the Grand Central Parkway during morning rush hour. Complete nightmare scenario. RT Towing coordinated with highway patrol, got our truck loaded and off the highway quickly, and towed it to our fleet maintenance facility in Long Island City. Their heavy-duty operator knew exactly what he was doing. We've added them to our approved vendor list."
