Whether the tow is free decides whether you get paid or pay — and it is nowhere on a map listing. Yards tagged here state that they haul the vehicle at no charge when they buy it. As a rule the tow is free if the car is worth something to them; a car that is stripped, burned or badly rusted may still cost you a haul fee, and that is worth asking about on the first call.

Ask what happens if the car doesn't start or sits behind other cars. Most buyers include a winch-out from a driveway or garage, but a vehicle blocked in, parked on soft ground, or missing wheels can turn into an extra charge. Confirm the quote covers pickup at your address before you agree to a time.

Common questions

How do I get a junk car towed away for free?

Sell it to a yard or buyer that includes pickup in the offer — most salvage buyers do, because the car pays for the tow. Get the offer and the tow terms in the same phone call, and have the registration and your ID ready for the driver.

How much does it cost to get rid of a junk car?

Usually nothing — a complete car normally brings an offer that includes free removal. You may pay a haul fee only when the vehicle has no resale or scrap value left, for example when the engine, catalytic converter and wheels are already gone.
