Kelowna towing works the Highway 97 corridor and the Okanagan's lake-country grades - plus winter trips over the Coquihalla connector that end in recovery calls when drivers skip winter tires. October–April, BC's winter tire rules apply on every route out of town.

BC towing is regulated through commercial transport rules (CVSE) rather than a single consumer towing act. Private-property towing in Vancouver and most municipalities requires clear signage at lot entrances; if you're towed from a private lot, the operator must release your vehicle promptly on payment and provide a receipt. On provincial highways, police or the Ministry may direct removal of hazards. ICBC insurance typically covers accident towing to a repair facility.
Mountain routes like the Coquihalla demand full winter tires (Oct 1–Apr 30 on most highways) - you can be turned back or fined without them, and if you slide off without them, expect a recovery bill your insurer may question. Pull well clear on shoulders; on narrow canyon stretches, get to a pullout before stopping if at all possible.
Winter tire routes are law on most BC highways October through April. DriveBC before any mountain travel - the Coquihalla, Highway 3 and Highway 1 through the canyon close regularly for avalanche control and multi-vehicle incidents.

Around Kelowna, expect a typical hook-up fee of $95–$140 plus roughly $4.00–$5.00 per kilometre for a standard light-duty tow, before tax. Nights, storms, winching and heavy vehicles cost more; short in-town tows often land near the minimum. Always ask for the all-in price to your destination before the truck rolls - reputable operators quote it without hesitation. Roadside fixes (boosts, lockouts, tire changes) usually run a flat $45–$120 and are worth asking about first.
