Nepean Towing provides long distance towing from Ottawa to destinations across Ontario and beyond. Whether your vehicle broke down on the highway between cities, you are relocating and need your car transported, or you purchased a vehicle out of town that cannot be driven back, call (613) 619-4545 and we quote you a price and confirm availability before dispatching.
Long distance towing requires more planning than a local call. The destination, route, vehicle type, and timing all factor into how the job is handled. We discuss these with you before the truck rolls so there are no surprises partway through a trip to Kingston or Toronto. Call us with the details and we give you a straightforward quote.
Ottawa sits at the intersection of several major highway corridors, which means long distance tows out of the city follow a small number of well-travelled routes. The most common requests we handle include transport along the 417 west toward Toronto, the 416 south toward Kingston and the 401, Highway 17 east toward Montreal, and Highway 7 west toward Peterborough and the Kawartha Lakes region.
We also handle inter-city towing for vehicles that have broken down somewhere between Ottawa and their destination and need recovery back to the city or forward to the endpoint. If you are on the road and your vehicle has stopped, call us with your location and destination and we assess whether a local recovery or a full long distance transport makes more sense given your situation.
A long distance tow is not a standard local job with extra kilometres added. The vehicle securement is checked more thoroughly because it will be on the truck for hours, not minutes. The route is confirmed in advance so the driver knows which roads are being used, whether there are weight or height restrictions on any segment, and where fuel stops fall relative to the run. The destination is confirmed with a contact name or address before departure so there is a clear endpoint when the truck arrives.
For flatbed long distance tows, the vehicle is loaded, secured, and inspected before the run begins. We do not load and immediately depart. The operator walks around the vehicle and the deck before pulling out to confirm everything is in order for a multi-hour transport. If the vehicle requires a specific transport mode or has any known conditions that affect how it should ride on the deck, those are addressed before the truck leaves Ottawa.
Long distance towing is priced based on the distance, the vehicle type, the equipment required, and any specific requirements of the job. We give you a quote before dispatching. We do not send a truck and calculate the total when it arrives. The figure you agree to at the start is the figure you pay at the end, barring any significant change in scope that we would discuss with you before proceeding.
Timing depends on availability and the distance involved. Ottawa to Kingston is roughly two to two and a half hours one way. Ottawa to Toronto is approximately four to five hours. We are honest with you about turnaround time so you can plan around it. If you need the vehicle transported on a specific day or within a specific window, tell us when you call and we confirm whether that is workable before you commit.

We tow across Ontario and into neighbouring provinces depending on the job. Common destinations include Toronto, Kingston, Montreal, and communities throughout Eastern Ontario. For very long distances, call us with the origin, destination, and vehicle details and we confirm availability and quote you a price before committing to the job. There is no set kilometre limit, but very long runs are assessed case by case.
We quote a flat rate for long distance jobs based on the distance, vehicle type, and equipment required. We give you the number before dispatching and that is what you pay. We do not use a per-kilometre meter that runs up during the tow. The quote accounts for the full run including the return trip for the driver, so the figure you agree to at the start is the final cost.
Yes. Ottawa to Toronto via the 417 and 401 is one of the more common long distance requests we handle. Call us with your vehicle details, pickup address in Ottawa, and the delivery address in Toronto. We confirm availability, quote you a flat rate, and schedule the run. The drive is approximately four to five hours one way, so we discuss timing with you before confirming.
Yes. Give us your exact location including highway number, direction, and the nearest exit or kilometre marker. Tell us the vehicle make and model and whether you want it taken forward to Kingston or back to Ottawa. We dispatch to your location and handle the recovery. If the vehicle needs to continue to Kingston, we quote the full distance at the same time.
Yes. This is a common scenario and straightforward for us to handle. Give us the pickup address, the vehicle details, and your Ottawa delivery address. We confirm the quote and schedule pickup. The vehicle does not need to be mechanically able to move under its own power as long as the wheels can roll onto the flatbed. If it cannot roll, let us know and we discuss the loading approach before arrival.
