Yes, additional charges are typically applied for long-distance tows. Most towing companies charge a base fee for local towing within a defined radius. Beyond this radius, a per-mile charge is added to cover the extra distance travelled. This may significantly increase the total cost of the service. The exact rates can vary widely depending on the towing company, the type of vehicle being towed, and the distance to be covered. Therefore, it is advisable for customers to inquire about these charges before availing the service to avoid any unexpected expenses.
