The first thing you need to know about towing in Calgary is that there are two kinds of companies you can call: those who will tow your car for free, and those who will not. The first group is made up of smaller, neighborhood-focused companies, like the ones listed on the city’s website. They’re great if you live in a remote area or if you just need your car towed a short distance, but they don’t have the capacity to help you if you’ve been in an accident or your car has been stolen. The second group is made up of larger, chain-owned companies.
