24 Hour Towing in Miami: What To Expect At 3am

Need a tow at 2, 3, or 4am in Miami? Here's what real 24-hour towing looks like — response times, night pricing, and how to avoid after-hours scams.

Real 24-hour towing means someone answers at 3am A lot of Miami tow companies advertise "24/7" but really mean voicemail after 10pm. At **E.T. Towing**, a live person picks up at 2am, 3am, or Christmas morning. No app, no callback queue, no "we'll dispatch someone tomorrow."

What our late-night calls usually look like - **Uber/Lyft drivers** with dead cars after their shift - **Bar/restaurant workers** finishing shifts in Coral Gables, Brickell, Kendall - **Airport arrivals** finding a dead battery at MIA long-term parking - **Accident recovery** on the Turnpike or Palmetto after midnight - **Lockouts** — keys locked in car after a night out

Response times at night Traffic is nothing after 1am, so we're often **faster at 3am than at 5pm**: - Kendall / Pinecrest: **12–18 min** - The Hammocks / West Kendall: **15–22 min** - Cutler Bay / Palmetto Bay: **18–25 min** - Homestead: **22–30 min**

Night-time pricing — honest and flat We charge a small after-hours surcharge, that's it: - **Hook-up fee**: same $75–$125 - **After-hours surcharge (10pm–6am)**: **$25** - **Weekend/holiday**: **$25** - **Per mile**: same $4–$7

No "midnight scam" pricing. No "the truck was already 20 miles away so it's $300." You get the total before we leave.

How to avoid late-night tow scams - **Never accept a tow from a truck that "just happened to be passing"** after an accident — this is called "chasing" and it's illegal in Florida - **Get the price on the phone before hooking up** — legit companies quote in advance - **Cash-only demands = red flag** — we accept card, cash, Zelle, everything - **Watch for "storage fees" of $50/day** — legit tows don't hide these

Late-night services we run - Towing (wheel-lift, cars/SUVs/light trucks) - Lockouts (non-destructive entry) - Jump starts + battery diagnostics - Tire changes / spare install - Accident recovery
