Long-Distance Towing

What Is Long-Distance Towing?

Long-distance towing covers trips that go beyond typical local towing ranges. Whether you are relocating to a new state, purchasing a vehicle from a distant seller, or transporting a car to a specialized repair facility, long-distance towing gets your vehicle where it needs to go safely and efficiently. At TrueWay Encinitas Towing, we handle trips of hundreds of miles with the same care and professionalism we bring to every job.

Unlike short local tows, long-distance towing requires careful planning, reliable equipment, and experienced drivers who understand the demands of extended transport. We use flatbed trucks for most long-distance jobs because they offer the best protection for your vehicle over long stretches of highway. Your car stays secure and level throughout the journey, arriving in the same condition it started.

Common Reasons for Long-Distance Towing

People choose long-distance towing for many reasons. Here are some of the most common situations we handle:

• Relocation and moving: If you are moving to a new state and need to transport your vehicle, long-distance towing is often more convenient than driving it yourself. This is especially true if your car is not in perfect condition or if you prefer to focus on other aspects of your move.
• Vehicle purchases from out of state: Buying a car from a distant seller? We can pick it up and deliver it to your home, saving you the hassle of arranging transport on your own.
• Specialty repairs: Some repairs require specialized facilities that may be far from your location. We can transport your vehicle to the right shop and bring it back when the work is done.
• Classic car transport: If you own a classic or collector car, you may need to transport it to shows, auctions, or storage facilities. We handle these vehicles with extra care to preserve their condition.
• Military deployments: Service members often need to transport their vehicles when they receive new orders. We work with military families to make this process easier.
• Emergency breakdowns: If your vehicle breaks down during a road trip far from home, we can tow it back to Encinitas or to a repair shop along the way.

No matter your reason for needing long-distance towing, we have the experience and equipment to handle the job. We treat every vehicle with care and respect, ensuring it arrives safely at its destination.

Preparing Your Vehicle for Long-Distance Towing

Before your long-distance tow, there are a few steps you can take to ensure everything goes smoothly. First, remove any personal items from the vehicle. While we take every precaution to keep your car secure, it is best to avoid leaving valuables inside. Second, make sure your vehicle is accessible for pickup. If it is in a garage or gated area, arrange for our driver to have access.

Third, check your fuel level. While your car will not be running during transport, having some fuel in the tank helps if we need to move it during loading or unloading. Finally, take photos of your vehicle before pickup. This gives you a record of its condition and helps with any insurance claims if needed. We will also document the condition on our end to ensure transparency.
