4. Additional Conditions & Equipment
How Is Towing Cost Calculated?
We believe in complete pricing transparency. Our quotes are based on four objective criteria:
- Vehicle Weight & Category: Compact passenger cars require a standard tow bed; heavy SUVs, vans, or equipment require heavy-duty hydraulics.
- Route & Distance: Within Riga city limits, a fixed call-out rate applies. Outside Riga, pricing is calculated by exact mileage (€1.25/km).
- Condition of Wheels & Transmission: Free-rolling vehicles load easily. If wheels or steering are locked, specialized dolly wheels are required.
- Situation Complexity: Standard pickup from a parking lot takes minimal time. Winching from a steep ditch or underground garage requires specialized rigging.
Payment Methods & Insurance Coverage
We offer flexible and modern payment options:
- Cash: Pay on-site directly to the driver upon delivery.
- Credit / Debit Card: All tow trucks are equipped with mobile POS terminals (VISA, MasterCard, Maestro, Apple Pay).
- Bank Transfer for Companies: Invoicing for corporate fleets and garages with post-payment terms for contract partners.
- 100% KASKO & OCTA Insurance Reimbursement: We provide certified invoices recognized by all insurance companies in Latvia (Balta, BTA, If, Ergo, Gjensidige, Compensa, Seesam, Swedbank, etc.).
