Long distance towing covers trips beyond the DFW metro, typically 50 miles or more from Mesquite. Common destinations include Houston, Austin, San Antonio, Lubbock, and Tyler. Pricing is mileage-based at roughly $3 to $4 per mile for most standard vehicles, with a flat price confirmed before the truck leaves.
$3 to $4 per mile for most vehicles on long-distance tows from Mesquite, with a flat quote before departure
A long-distance tow quote starts with the total distance from pickup in Mesquite to the delivery address, measured by the most direct route. Most trips run $3 to $4 per mile for a standard car or truck, so a 250-mile tow to Houston typically costs $750 to $1,000. Flatbed or heavy vehicles cost more. The price is quoted and confirmed before the driver picks up the vehicle.
Mesquite sits at the eastern edge of DFW, so long-distance departures typically head east on I-20 toward Tyler and Shreveport, south on I-45 toward Houston, west on I-30 toward Fort Worth and Abilene, or south on US-175 toward Corsicana and beyond. Austin and San Antonio routes go south via I-35. Tell us the destination when you call and we quote the miles and the total.
For trips over 100 miles, make sure the gas tank is at or below a quarter full, since a full tank adds unnecessary weight. Secure or remove any loose items inside the car that could shift during transport. Take photos of the car before loading, especially the bumpers and wheels, so you have a baseline if there is any dispute on delivery. Flatbed transport is the standard for long-distance tows because nothing rolls on the road surface for 250 miles.
We handle most intrastate Texas routes, including trips to Houston, Austin, San Antonio, El Paso, and Lubbock. Very long routes over 500 miles require confirmation of driver availability and may need a same-day or next-morning departure window. Call and give us the destination for a quote.
We deliver to the exact address you give us, whether that is a shop, a home, a dealer, or a storage facility. The per-mile rate is calculated to the delivery address, not to the city center.
Yes, we can run pick-up calls in the DFW area and haul to Mesquite or beyond. For pick-ups outside DFW, call us with the origin and destination and we will give you a quote.
Flatbed is standard for most long-distance tows because it keeps all four wheels off the road for the entire trip. This is required for AWD and 4WD vehicles and strongly recommended for any trip over 100 miles to prevent tire wear on the towed axle.
