The Connecticut DMV approved an increase in basic towing fees, raising the hook-and-tow charge to $125 and the per-mile rate to $5.65 after the first two miles, according to Tow Industry Week. The increase follows years of operator lobbying as fuel, insurance, and equipment costs outpaced the previous fee structure.
Operator takeaway
Connecticut joins Ithaca and Fairfax County in adjusting towing fees to reflect current costs. If your state or city fee schedule has not been updated since before the diesel and insurance spikes, these adjustments provide comparable data for your own rate petition.
