PEI towing operates under general consumer law. Charlottetown and Summerside enforce winter parking restrictions during storm events. The Confederation Bridge posts its own wind restrictions - high-sided and towing vehicles are barred first.
Small island, short distances - but winter storms shut everything at once and the bridge closes to exposed vehicles in high wind. If you're towing a trailer, check bridge status before committing to a crossing.
Island nor'easters drift roads closed fast. The 511 line and storm patience are the whole playbook.

Around Summerside, expect a typical hook-up fee of $75–$110 plus roughly $3.00–$4.00 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.
