New Brunswick towing operates under general consumer law and municipal rules. Accident tows are typically covered through your insurer's claim. Private-property towing requires posted signage in Moncton, Saint John and Fredericton.
The Trans-Canada (Route 2) is the spine - long forested stretches between exits mean noting the nearest kilometre marker when you call for help genuinely speeds up your rescue. Moose are a real nighttime hazard on the 7, 8 and 11; if you hit one, treat it as a serious collision and call 911.
Ice storms are NB's specialty hazard - when freezing rain is forecast on 511, the safest tow is the one you don't need. Winch-outs surge after every event.

Around Bathurst, expect a typical hook-up fee of $80–$115 plus roughly $3.00–$4.25 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.
