Around Stephenville, expect a typical hook-up fee of $85–$125 plus roughly $3.50–$4.75 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.

Roadside fixes (boosts, lockouts, tire changes) usually run a flat $45–$120 and are worth asking about first.
