What a towing invoice should itemize
Towing bills are often paid by a third party — an insurer, motor club, or fleet — so clarity matters. List a base hook-up fee, loaded mileage at your per-mile rate, and separate lines for winching, after-hours or holiday surcharges, and any daily storage or impound fees. Include the vehicle (year, make, VIN or plate), the pickup and drop-off locations, and the date and time of service.
Billing insurers and motor clubs
When a club or insurer pays, they need a clean, itemized invoice with the claim or dispatch number to process payment. Add a reference for that number, keep your rates consistent, and number invoices sequentially. Offering online payment for cash customers helps too: invoices with convenient online payment get paid up to twice as fast, per Xero (2024).
Frequently asked questions
What should a towing invoice include for an insurance claim?
Include the vehicle details (year, make, model, VIN or plate), pickup and destination addresses, date and time, an itemized breakdown of hook-up, mileage, and any storage or winching, plus the claim or dispatch number. Add that reference in the notes so the insurer can match and pay it.
How do towing companies charge for mileage?
Most charge a base hook-up fee plus a per-mile rate for loaded miles (some also bill enroute miles). Enter the base fee as one line and mileage as quantity times your per-mile rate; the total calculates automatically.
