Stuck right now in Lincoln? Quick steps
- 1. Get safe first
Pull onto the shoulder, turn on hazards, exit the vehicle on the passenger side if you’re on a busy road. If you’re on an interstate or in immediate danger, call 911 before anyone else.
- 2. Note your exact location
Cross street, mile marker, ZIP, or the address of the nearest business. Tow dispatchers route the closest truck the moment they have a precise pin.
- 3. Call your insurance roadside line
If you have roadside coverage on your auto policy or through AAA, call them first — they’ll dispatch a local operator and the cost is usually included. Otherwise, work the list above top-to-bottom and book the first operator who answers.
- 4. Confirm price BEFORE hookup
Get the quote in writing (text is fine). Confirm the destination address, the hookup type (flatbed vs wheel-lift), and the total estimated cost. Once your car is on the truck, your leverage to negotiate disappears.
Frequently asked questions
- How many tow truck shops are in Lincoln, Nebraska?
- 22 licensed tow truck and roadside-assistance operators are listed for Lincoln on TowMile. 21 of them have a published phone number you can call directly from this page.
- How much does a tow truck cost in Lincoln?
- Local tows in Nebraska typically run $75–$125 for the first 5 miles, plus $3–$5 per additional mile. Roadside services like jumpstarts, tire changes, and lockouts are usually a flat $65–$95 in this area. Always confirm with the operator before they hook up your vehicle.
- Are there 24/7 tow trucks in Lincoln?
- Most full-service operators on this page answer 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. After-hours and holiday calls typically carry a $25–$50 surcharge on top of the base rate. If you're stranded overnight, work down the list and call the first operator that answers — response time matters more than price at 2am.
- How fast can a tow truck reach me in Lincoln?
- Inside Lincoln city limits, expect a 15–30 minute ETA during business hours and 30–60 minutes overnight. Operators on the outskirts may quote 45–90 minutes. Tell the dispatcher your exact ZIP and mile-marker when you call — it helps them route the closest truck.
- Does my car insurance cover towing in Nebraska?
- If you have roadside assistance on your auto policy (or through AAA, Allstate Motor Club, or your manufacturer like Toyota Roadside), towing is usually covered up to 5–15 miles. Beyond that, you pay the difference. Call your insurer's roadside number BEFORE you hire a shop directly — they'll often dispatch one of the shops on this page on your behalf.
- What should I do if I'm stranded in Lincoln right now?
- Pull off to the shoulder if you can do so safely, turn on your hazards, and call one of the shops listed above directly. Most operators in Lincoln answer 24/7 and dispatch within 15–30 minutes. If you're on an interstate or in immediate danger, call 911 first.
- What's the difference between a flatbed and a wheel-lift tow?
- A flatbed (rollback) loads your entire car onto a flat platform — required for all-wheel-drive vehicles, low-clearance sports cars, EVs, and accident vehicles. A wheel-lift hooks one axle and tows with the other two wheels on the ground — cheaper, fine for short distances on standard front- or rear-wheel-drive cars. When you call, mention your vehicle's drivetrain and the operator will send the right truck.
- Can a tow truck take me to a body shop, dealership, or my home?
- Yes. Most operators in Lincoln will tow your vehicle to any destination within their service radius — body shop, dealership, mechanic, repair facility, your driveway, or a self-storage lot. Cross-city tows beyond 25 miles may be quoted as long-distance ($3–$5 per mile after the base).
- Do these tow shops handle motorcycles, RVs, or heavy-duty vehicles?
- Most cover light-duty (cars, light trucks, motorcycles) by default. Medium- and heavy-duty (RVs, box trucks, commercial trucks, buses) requires a specialized rig and is a separate quote — usually $250–$500 base. Call ahead and ask: "do you have a medium-duty wrecker?" before assuming.
- Do these tow shops accept credit cards?
- Most operators in Lincoln accept Visa, Mastercard, Discover, and AmEx. Cash is universally accepted. Some smaller operators are cash- or Zelle-only — confirm payment method when you book the call.
- Are these tow truck listings free?
- Yes. TowMile is a free directory of US tow shops, sourced from the Overture Maps Foundation. We don't charge customers, and we don't charge shop owners to be listed. If you own one of these shops and want to manage your hours and services, you can claim your listing for free.
