Renting a tow truck might be perfect your situation, but it is important to also consider the downsides of doing it yourself. Firstly, tow truck rentals are usually quite expensive to cover the cost of renting the truck as well as insurance for what is essentially classified as a dangerous job. At times it can actually work out cheaper to have a professional company tow your vehicle for you. It is also worth remembering that towing another vehicle has various restrictions under the law and in some jurisdictions requires a special license.
