While many insurance companies offer towing as an included or extra feature to their services, this does not stop many tow truck drivers from swarming an accident scene at the moment of impact. Taking advantage of a stressful and vulnerable situation, they often try to pressure you in to utilizing their or their suppliers’ services. Don’t get caught off guard by unauthorized towing services and towing costs.
