Towing is one of the few concerns you may face during a road accident. According to the City of Chicago, cars involved in accidents may be towed to clear traffic. And, you must expect corresponding towing fees.

The cost of towing will depend on which county you are in Illinois. In Chicago, you will have to pay $150 for towing a vehicle under 8,000 pounds and $250 for vehicles over 8,000 pounds. This, however, does not include daily storage fees in the impound which will cost you another $20 daily for the first five days and $35 daily after the fifth day for vehicles under 8,000 pounds. For vehicles over 8,000 pounds, the storage fee is $60 per day for the first five days and $100 daily after the fifth day.

Although you may have physical damage insurance, this won’t cover towing costs. Towing insurance will help pay for your vehicle to be towed to the repair shop. If you plan to get this insurance, be reminded that you will have to add it to your existing coverage.
