Set it up Tuesday. By Friday I had three quote requests in my inbox. One turned into a $14,200 bathroom job. Pays for itself ten times over.

Common questions
What others asks before signing up?
How much does a tow truck cost in Australia?
A standard car tow within 10 km typically costs $100 to $200, with per-kilometre charges of $3 to $10 after that. After-hours callouts, flatbed tows, heavier vehicles and difficult pickup locations all increase the estimate. This calculator factors in vehicle type, distance, pickup conditions and urgency to give you a personalised estimate within seconds.
How accurate is this tow truck calculator?
The calculator produces an estimate based on industry-average callout fees, per-km rates and common surcharges. Your tow operator will confirm the final price after assessing the vehicle, pickup location and any special requirements on the day.
Does the estimate include GST?
Yes. All estimates produced by this calculator include 10% GST automatically. The breakdown shows the subtotal, GST component and GST-inclusive total so there are no surprises.
Can I add this calculator to my WordPress, Webflow, Squarespace, Wix or Shopify site?
Yes. Leadkit gives you a one-line embed code that works on any website builder. The calculator inherits your brand colours and logo, so it looks native to your site.
What lead information do I receive when someone fills out the calculator?
You receive the driver's name, email, phone, location and message along with every input they selected — vehicle type, pickup conditions, distance, urgency and flatbed preference — plus the estimated value and a lead score.
Do I need a website to use Leadkit?
No. Every calculator gets its own hosted landing page on Leadkit with your branding, so you can share the link directly on social media, Google Business Profile or in text messages.
What factors affect towing cost the most?
Distance is the biggest factor after the base callout fee. After-hours or emergency callouts typically double the rate. Flatbed towing adds a premium for low-clearance, AWD or exotic vehicles, and difficult pickup locations like underground car parks or steep terrain incur access surcharges.
Is Leadkit really free?
Yes. Free lets you add up to 3 calculators to your website and receive 10 leads per month — no credit card. Every lead beyond the cap is still captured and held for you; upgrading to Pro ($29/mo) opens them all retroactively and removes the cap.
Do I need to know how to code?
No. You get an embed code (one line of HTML). Paste it into your website builder — Wix, Squarespace, WordPress, or any custom site. That's it.
How accurate are the price estimates?
You configure the calculator formulas to match your actual pricing. Leadkit provides the framework; you set the numbers. Estimates can be as detailed or as rough as you like.
What happens with lead data?
All lead data is stored securely in your workspace. You own it. We never sell or share your leads with anyone.
Can I use Leadkit as an agency for multiple clients?
Yes — our Agency plan lets you create and manage separate workspaces for each of your clients, all from one dashboard.
What's the difference between the plans?
Free: up to 3 calculators, 10 leads/month (over-cap leads held + locked until upgrade). Pro: unlimited leads, unlimited calculators, white-label, branded email sending, analytics, email templates. Agency: everything in Pro plus multi-workspace management.

How it works
How this tow truck calculator is calculated
This calculator produces an estimate based on common Australian towing rate structures, not a binding quote. Your tow operator will confirm the final price after assessing the job.
GST handling: All estimates include 10% GST as required by the Australian Taxation Office for GST-registered towing operators.
1
Base callout fee
A base callout fee covers hook-up, equipment and the first 10 km of travel. The fee scales by vehicle weight — motorcycles cost less, 4WDs and vans cost more.
callout_fee × vehicle_type_multiplier
2
Pickup access surcharge
Difficult pickup locations add a surcharge. Underground car parks require low-clearance equipment; steep terrain may need winch recovery gear.
3
Distance charge
Kilometres beyond the included 10 km are charged at a per-km rate. Longer tows to outer suburbs or regional destinations increase the total.
max(0, distance_km − included_km) × per_km_rate
4
Urgency and flatbed
After-hours, weekend and public holiday callouts apply a 2× multiplier. Flatbed towing adds a flat premium for vehicles that cannot be wheel-lifted safely.
5
GST
10% GST is applied to the subtotal. All displayed totals are GST-inclusive.
Towing rates vary by state, vehicle size, distance and time of day. Sydney and Melbourne metro rates tend to sit at the higher end, while regional areas are generally cheaper.
