Towing Cost in Regina, SK: Typical Prices for 2026
For towing cost in Regina, Regina Signature Towing & Recovery lays out the typical 2026 prices for city tows, long hauls, boosts and winch outs, and what changes the bill, so you know what a fair quote looks like before you call anyone.
Most tows inside Regina cost between $82 and $105 plus GST, according to rates published by Regina towing companies in 2026. A wheel-lift tow is at the low end, a flatbed at the high end. Tows beyond the city add about $3.25 per kilometre on top of a hook-up fee.
The price changes with distance, the size of the vehicle, the time of day and how hard the recovery is. A winch out from a ditch starts higher than a plain tow, and a heavy duty truck costs more than a car. The one rule that never changes: ask for the full price before the truck leaves.
A towing bill has up to four parts. The hook-up fee covers loading the vehicle and the first stretch of driving. The per-kilometre charge covers distance beyond that. Extras cover special gear such as a winch, a pulley or a dolly, and GST of 5% sits on top of everything.
Some companies bundle all of that into a single flat price, which makes the quote easy to compare. Others quote a low hook-up fee and a high per-kilometre rate, so a short tow looks cheap and a long one does not. Ask for the full total and you can compare any two quotes in about a minute.

How to Avoid Surprises
Ask for the price before the truck leaves and ask what could change it. A fair driver will tell you what he sees: a ditch deeper than described, a vehicle heavier than expected. If the price changes, he tells you before he changes anything. A tow company that refuses to quote a number on the phone is one to skip.
Does My Insurance or Roadside Plan Cover It?
Many auto policies and motor club memberships include a tow for a set distance. CAA Saskatchewan members can call CAA first. We tow whether or not you have a plan, and you can ask your insurer afterward what it will cover. Keep the receipt, since claims usually need one.
Slid into the ditch on a grid road past Lumsden in the first snow. The driver found us off a text pin, hooked on and had the truck back on the gravel in about fifteen minutes. No lecture, just a pull and a thumbs up.

Flatbed towing
My Subaru is all-wheel drive and the first company I called wanted to drag it on two wheels. These guys brought a flatbed without me asking. Price was exactly what the dispatcher said on the phone.

Accident towing
Fender bender on Victoria Avenue at rush hour. They cleared the car off the road quickly, took it to my body shop, and the driver waited with me until my ride showed up.

Medium duty towing
Our delivery van quit at 5 a.m. with a full load. A medium duty truck was there before the shop opened and we lost one morning, not the whole day.

Battery boost
Dead battery at minus 29 in a grocery store lot. The boost took ten minutes and the driver told me my battery was on its last legs, which saved me a second call.

Junk car removal
Hauled an old Buick off our acreage that had sat since my dad passed. Free pickup, no paperwork headaches, and the driver carried the plates in for me. It was a relief.

Towing Cost FAQs
How much does a tow truck cost in Regina?
Inside Regina, a tow usually costs about $82 to $105, depending on whether it is a wheel-lift or a flatbed truck. GST is extra. Distance beyond the city adds about $3.25 per kilometre. These are published Regina rates for 2026, and we give you the exact price before we send a truck.
Why do some towing companies charge more?
Prices change with the truck size, the distance, the time of day and how hard the recovery is. Some companies also add fees for night calls or storage. A low hook-up fee can hide a high per-kilometre rate, so always ask for the total.
How much is towing per kilometre in Saskatchewan?
About $3.25 per kilometre is a common published rate beyond Regina's city limits, on top of a hook-up fee. Larger trucks and recoveries cost more. We quote the per-kilometre rate and the full total on the phone before we leave.
Is there a minimum charge for a tow?
Most companies have a minimum, which is the hook-up fee for a short tow inside the city. In Regina that is about $82 to $105 plus GST. Ask what the minimum is, and whether it includes the first few kilometres, before you agree.
Will the price go up once the driver arrives?
It should not, unless the job is different from what you described. If the vehicle is heavier, lower or deeper in a ditch than you said, the driver tells you before he starts and you decide. A price that changes without a conversation is a red flag.
Waiting for a Tow? Stay Safe Out There
Turn on your hazard lights, stay well off the road and keep everyone out of the vehicle if you are on a highway shoulder. In Saskatchewan, drivers must slow to 60 km/h when they pass a tow truck stopped with its lights flashing, so give our driver the same room.
Regina Signature Towing & Recovery is a small crew that answers at 3 a.m. the same way it answers at noon. We tell you the price first, load your vehicle the way the manufacturer wants it moved, and drop it where you say. Send your location or call and a driver is on the way.
