Towing Services Wichita KS Drivers Can Rely On
Every call is answered by a local dispatcher who knows these streets. Here is the work we do most.
A flatbed carries all four wheels off the ground. It is the right choice for AWD vehicles, EVs, lowered cars and anything with crash damage. A wheel lift truck works well and costs less for short moves of front wheel drive cars. Give us the year, make and model, and we send the right truck the first time.
A dead battery rarely needs a tow. Summer heat wears batteries down, and the first hard freeze finishes them off. Our operator tests the battery, gives you a safe jump, and tells you if it will start tomorrow. If it won’t hold a charge, we can take you to a parts store or shop.
Keys locked inside at Towne East Square, a grocery lot or your own driveway? We open most cars and trucks with professional tools that won’t scratch the paint or bend the door. We ask for an ID that matches the registration before handing over the keys. That protects you too.
Kansas ice catches careful drivers. When you stop on snow, warm tires melt a thin layer that freezes into a slick rut, and the wheels just spin. Spinning harder digs you in deeper. We pull cars and pickups out of ditches, mud and soft shoulders, hooking straps to the right points so the bumper and suspension stay in one piece.
Riding mowers, compact tractors and small trailers need a deck and tie downs, not a hook. We haul them to repair shops, rental yards, farms and new homes around Wichita, Derby, Andover and Valley Center.
After a crash or a slide off the road, a vehicle may sit on its side, down a creek bank or against a guardrail. Our operators plan each pull, protect the scene and move the vehicle to our secure lot, your home or a body shop. We work alongside Wichita police and the Kansas Highway Patrol at the scene.
Apartment managers, HOAs, churches and business owners call us to clear unauthorized and abandoned vehicles. Under Kansas law, a city ordinance authorizing private property towing must set the maximum rate a towing service may charge, and the tow company must report the vehicle’s location to local law enforcement within two hours of the tow (K.S.A. 8-1103). We help you set up signs and a written agreement, then handle every tow by the rules.
How Much Does a Tow Cost in Wichita KS?
Nationally, the average tow costs about $109, and per mile rates run from about $2.50 to as much as $7 (The Zebra). Miller’s 2026 posted rate for police called tows in Wichita is $140 for a light duty tow, plus $8.50 per mile. Call for an exact quote on your tow.
What Changes the Price of Your Tow
- Distance: the price is a hookup fee plus a per mile charge, which is $8.50 per mile on our posted rate.
- Vehicle type: large pickups, AWD cars and locked wheels may need a flatbed.
- Recovery work: ditch pulls and winching add labor.
- Time: after hours and holiday calls can cost more, and we tell you before we dispatch.
- Storage: $50 per day if the vehicle stays on our lot.
Upfront Quotes and Transparent Towing Prices
You hear the total on the phone before we dispatch. If the job changes at the scene, the operator explains why and gets your OK first. We accept cash, credit and debit cards.
Insurance and Roadside Plans We Work With
Many auto policies and motor clubs cover towing, so check your insurance app first. We work with insurance companies, motor clubs and roadside plans. If your plan pays us directly, we bill them. If it reimburses you, we give you an itemized receipt to send in.
How Our Towing Process Works From Your Call to Drop Off
Step 1: Call and Tell Us Where You Are
Give the dispatcher the road, the nearest cross street or exit, and your direction of travel. “I-135 northbound near 47th Street” gets a truck to you faster than “south Wichita.” If anyone is hurt, call 911 first.
Step 2: Get Your Price and Estimated Arrival Time
You get a full price and an arrival window. We text you the driver’s name and send updates if weather or traffic changes the window.
Step 3: We Load Your Vehicle Safely
The operator photographs your vehicle’s condition, releases the parking brake and secures it with wheel straps at proper tie points. You can ride along when there is room. Ask dispatch.
Step 4: Drop Off at Your Home, Shop or Dealer
We deliver to your home, your mechanic, a dealer or our secure lot. If the shop is closed, we use their key drop or hold the car until morning.
Stay Safe While You Wait: Tips From Our Tow Operators
Stopped on I-135, I-235, Kellogg or K-96
Pull as far right as you can, turn on your hazards and stay buckled in if traffic is heavy. Never stand between your car and moving traffic. Kansas now requires drivers to move over when passing any stationary vehicle displaying hazard warning lights (Office of the Governor). Even so, an AAA study found only 58% of drivers slowed down or moved over when tow trucks were present (Hutch Post). On Kansas highways, dial *47 for the Highway Patrol (KDOT).
What to Do Right After a Car Accident
Check for injuries and call 911 if anyone is hurt. Kansas law asks drivers to move a vehicle out of the road when it blocks traffic, if that can be done safely and without towing (Kansas Legislative Research). A police crash report is not needed when no one is hurt and total damage is under $1,000, but you must still stop and exchange information (KDOT). Take photos, then call us.
Breakdowns During Kansas Ice, Storms and Summer Heat
Before winter trips, check KanDrive or dial 511 for road conditions (KanDrive). Keep a blanket, water and a phone charger in the car. If you must dig out, work slowly in the snow to avoid overexertion (Kansas Highway Patrol). In summer heat, stay hydrated and never leave kids or pets in a parked car. During hail or tornado warnings, take shelter first. We’ll come for the car once it’s safe.

Miller’s 2026 posted rate for police called tows in Wichita is $140 for a light duty tow, plus $8.50 per mile. Call for an exact total before we dispatch.
How Quickly Can a Tow Truck Get to Me in Wichita?
Most calls in town are reached in 30 minutes or less. Ice storms and rush hour on Kellogg can add time, and we’ll tell you if that happens.
Do You Provide 24/7 Emergency Towing in Wichita, KS?
Yes. We answer and dispatch every hour of every day, including holidays.
What's the Cheapest Way to Get a Tow in Wichita?
Check your insurance or motor club first, since many plans cover towing. Ask for the total price up front. A jump start or lockout costs far less than a tow when that fixes the problem.
Does Insurance or AAA Cover Towing?
Often, yes. Roadside coverage on many auto policies and motor club plans pays for towing up to a set distance. Call the number on your card or app to confirm.
Can I Choose My Own Tow Company After an Accident in Wichita?
Usually, yes. Tell the officer you want Miller’s. Law enforcement can still order a vehicle moved without the owner’s consent when it blocks traffic, and police use their own tow list for impounds.
How Do I Find Out if My Car Was Towed in Wichita?
Search the Wichita Police Department’s FindMyCar tool, or call the WPD Records Section at (316) 268-4186 (City of Wichita). If you were parked on private property, check the signs at the lot for the tow company’s name.
What Do I Need to Get My Towed Car Released?
Bring a photo ID, your registration or title, and payment. Call the lot first to confirm fees and hours. Police holds need a release from the agency.
Can I Get My Belongings Out of a Towed Car?
Yes. For private property tows, Kansas law gives the owner access to personal property in the vehicle for 48 hours after the tow, and personal medical supplies must be released on request (K.S.A. 8-1103).
What Types of Vehicles Can You Tow?
Cars, SUVs, pickups, vans, AWD vehicles, EVs, riding mowers and small tractors. We also tow motorcycles and small trailers.

Where Can My Vehicle Be Towed?
Anywhere you choose: your home, a repair shop, a dealer or our secure lot. Long distance trips are quoted by the mile.
