Steel-deck rollback carrier
19-21 ft bed, deck winch, wheel-lift under-reach on most units
The default tow truck. All four wheels off the ground, so it is the right answer for AWD, EV, low-clearance, non-running, and collision vehicles alike.
Need a tow truck in Sunrise? We get one to you fast for cars, pickups and vans, flatbed or wheel-lift depending on what yours needs. You name the destination before we move it. I-595, FL-869, and FL-838 all run through Sunrise, so most calls come off one of those.

The truck that shows up decides whether your vehicle arrives undamaged. This is what the Sunrise network runs and the call each unit is sent on — worth knowing before you accept whatever is closest.
19-21 ft bed, deck winch, wheel-lift under-reach on most units
The default tow truck. All four wheels off the ground, so it is the right answer for AWD, EV, low-clearance, non-running, and collision vehicles alike.
Lighter deck, higher payload, shallower load angle
Two vehicles in one trip, or a lowered car that would scrape a standard approach. The payload headroom is what lets a loaded van ride without going overweight.
L-arm yoke, tire-only contact, compact footprint
Tight rowhouse blocks, parking decks with a height bar, and short repositioning moves where a full carrier cannot physically reach the vehicle.
Cab-controlled wheel-lift, single-operator hookup
Private-property and repossession work where the operator needs to hook without leaving the cab. Fastest pickup of any tow truck.
Rolling axle set placed under the non-lifted wheels
Carried on the wrecker so an AWD or 4WD vehicle can still be towed when no carrier is available. Keeps the drivetrain from spinning without a deck.
Hydraulic wheel skates for locked or missing wheels
Seized brakes, a wheel off the car, or a vehicle sitting in park with no power. The vehicle is rolled onto the deck sideways instead of being dragged.
Add-on ramp sections that flatten the load angle
Lowered, exotic, and slammed vehicles. Requested at booking — an operator who does not carry them will find out at the scene, and then you wait for a second truck.
Front chock, soft straps, drop-deck or ramp load
Any two-wheeler. A bike loaded with the same chains used on a car arrives bent, which is why this is dispatched as its own equipment type.

One call puts a towing unit on the road to you anywhere in Sunrise or out along I-595 and FL-869. Tell us the road and which way you are pointed and we do the rest.
Cars, pickups, vans, motorcycles, and EVs across the Sunrise metro — on a flatbed carrier when the vehicle needs one, on a wheel-lift when it does not. Expand a category to see exactly what gets dispatched and why.
The whole vehicle rides on the deck with all four wheels off the pavement. The default across Sunrise for anything all-wheel-drive, low-clearance, electric, or already damaged — nothing drags, nothing spins, nothing gets added to the repair bill.
Two wheels lifted on an L-arm yoke that cradles the tires, never the bumper or control arms. Faster to hook and narrow enough for a Sunrise rowhouse street or a tight parking garage where a carrier physically will not fit.
AWD and full-time 4WD drivetrains cannot be towed with two wheels turning — it destroys the transfer case and center differential. Every AWD call in Sunrise goes on a flatbed, or on a wheel-lift with dollies under the trailing axle. No exceptions, whatever the last guy told you.
Front-wheel chock, soft straps over the triple tree, and a ramp or drop-deck load. Chains over a fairing or a strap on a handlebar bends what it touches — Sunrise riders get bike-specific equipment or the truck does not roll.
Transits, Sprinters, ProMasters, and box vans up to 14,000 lb GVWR, loaded or empty. Delivery and trades fleets across Sunrise run these all day, and a loaded one needs the deck length confirmed before dispatch.
Out-of-market moves on a carrier, priced by loaded mile once you are clear of the Sunrise metro rather than by the local hook-and-hourly. Relocations, auction pickups, and getting a breakdown home instead of leaving it three states away.
An EV moves on a flatbed with zero drive wheels on the ground — regenerative braking turns a spinning wheel into a generator feeding a pack that may already be faulted. Network operators in Sunrise carry EV-rated skates for a vehicle stuck in park with no 12-volt.
A crash-damaged or thermally-faulted pack is a separate call with its own staging, distance, and monitoring requirements. Sunrise operators coordinate with the fire service and the manufacturer's emergency response guide rather than simply loading and driving away.
Extended ramps, wood blocks, and a shallow approach angle so a splitter or side skirt never touches the deck. Tie-downs go to the manufacturer's designated points — a Sunrise strap over a control arm is how a $4,000 alignment claim starts.
Seized brakes, no keys, flat-spotted tires, or a project that has not moved in a decade. Winched onto the deck with skates or GoJaks under the locked wheels instead of dragged across a Sunrise driveway.
Zero-turn mowers, ATVs, golf carts, scissor lifts, and small utility trailers on a carrier deck. The common Sunrise landscape and contractor call when the tow vehicle itself is what broke.
Scheduled, non-emergency moves between Sunrise dealer lots, auction houses, body shops, and fleet yards — booked ahead, with condition photos on pickup and delivery so nobody argues about a scratch later.
Off the shoulder, into a ditch, over a curb, stuck in mud, snow, or sand. A Sunrise winch-out is billed as recovery time, not as a tow — and a vehicle pulled out straight often drives away instead of riding the deck.
Unplowed streets, alley ice, and vehicles slid into a bank. The first real Sunrise snow generates more tow calls in twelve hours than a normal week, so staged capacity matters more than any single truck's speed.
Non-rolling vehicles loaded with skates or a winch, fluids contained, debris swept. On a Sunrise public roadway the first tow is often assigned off a police rotation — the second move, to the shop you actually chose, is the one you control.
A proper jump pack on the correct terminals, then a charging-system check to see whether it is the battery or the alternator. Roughly a third of Sunrise "needs a tow" calls end here for a fraction of the cost.
Non-destructive entry on a locked vehicle, or enough fuel to reach a station. Both are dispatched on the same truck as the tow, so if the fix does not work the vehicle goes on the deck without a second wait in Sunrise.
Spare mounted roadside where the vehicle carries one. When it carries a mobility kit instead of a spare — increasingly the norm — the Sunrise call converts to a tow to a tire shop, and the operator arrives already knowing that.
Unauthorized vehicles removed from lots, apartment complexes, and reserved spaces at the property owner's request. Governed by posted-signage and notification rules in Sunrise — a compliant removal starts with the sign, not with the truck.
Getting a vehicle out of a Sunrise lot and to your shop or your driveway. The release process belongs to whichever authority ordered the tow; a private operator moves it only after that release is in hand.
You are generally entitled to your belongings out of an impounded vehicle even before the vehicle itself is released. Ask for it explicitly — the Sunrise lot is not obligated to volunteer the process.
Fenced, lit, camera-covered storage when the destination shop is closed or an insurer has not made a decision. Billed per day from arrival across Sunrise, which is why naming a destination up front is the cheapest call you can make.
Your vehicle goes where you say it goes — your mechanic, your dealer, your body shop anywhere in the Sunrise metro — not to whichever lot the truck happens to be based at.
Timestamped condition photos, an itemized invoice, and a written cause note formatted for a claim or a platform reimbursement. Sunrise rideshare and delivery drivers use these to get a tow paid for instead of eaten.
Rolling 30-day average dispatch-to-arrival, by service type, across the local rescuer network.
Almost every local tow is hook-up plus mileage — and then a short list of things that legitimately move it. These are the line items to expect on a Sunrise invoice, and the ones worth questioning.
$99 hook-up + $5-7 per mile
Standard rate for a car, pickup, or van on a flatbed or wheel-lift. Winching, after-hours, storage, and specialty equipment are separate lines — all of them are listed below. Heavy-duty and Class 8 recovery is priced differently and is not this rate.
$99 on our network. A flat charge for dispatching and connecting the vehicle, billed once. It does not change with distance, so it is the single biggest number on a short local tow.
$5 to $7 per mile, charged from pickup to drop. Ask whether mileage starts at your location or at the operator's yard — that one answer can double a suburban tow.
A carrier often costs more than a wheel-lift. For AWD, EV, low-clearance, and damaged vehicles it is not an upsell — a wheel-lift on those causes damage worth many times the difference.
Billed separately from the tow, usually per half-hour, once the vehicle is off the pavement. Pulling a car out of a ditch is labor; carrying it afterward is the tow.
Dollies, skates, and extended ramps may carry a line item. Mention AWD, a locked wheel, or a lowered car when you book and this gets quoted instead of discovered.
Overnight and holiday calls price above the daytime rate. Not a scam — it is a driver woken at 3 a.m. — but it should be disclosed on the phone, not on the invoice.
Standby while you retrieve belongings, wait for police, or decide on a destination is billable once it runs long. Deciding the drop location before the truck arrives keeps this at zero.
Per calendar day from arrival, and it starts the day the vehicle lands even if that is 11 p.m. The most common source of a shocking towing bill.
Retrieving a vehicle outside posted lot hours typically carries its own fee. Going the next morning instead is usually cheaper than the gate charge.
Police-ordered and private-property tows are priced under a regulated maximum rather than by agreement. If a tow you did not request exceeds that cap, that is a complaint to the regulator, not a negotiation.
A jumpstart, lockout, fuel drop, or tire change is priced well below a tow. Describing the symptom accurately is what lets dispatch send the cheaper answer first.
A club or manufacturer benefit usually covers hook-up plus a mileage allowance, with you paying the overage. Know your allowance before choosing a shop 40 miles away.
Road Rescue Network does not set a member operator's rates. What the network does is get you an itemized number before the truck rolls — including the mileage basis and the storage clock — so a tow never turns into a surprise.

The same crews that run Sunrise also cover Plantation (4 mi), Tamarac (5 mi) and Lauderhill (5 mi), so a call from either side of Broward County reaches the same desk.

Patterns observed across recent dispatch data in this metro, by service type and corridor.
On Panthers game nights and big Sawgrass Mills weekends, the FL-869 and Sunrise Boulevard corridors clog with tens of thousands of visitors, and a stalled resupply or event-freight truck can lock the whole node. We pre-position Sunrise rescuers around the arena and mall interchanges during major events and coordinate access with traffic control. Reaching you through the crowd is the core challenge here.
South Florida's months-long wet season drives dew points into the high 70s, and that moisture condenses straight into truck air systems on the I-595 and Sawgrass drayage runs. We see governor cutouts and frozen-feel brake lag daily through summer. Our service trucks carry air-dryer cartridges and tank-purge tools, so most of these are roadside fixes, not tows.
When a named storm enters the cone, western Broward warehouses run flat out moving water and supplies while the arena and other large buildings prep as shelters, and overloaded trucks start failing on the Sawgrass corridor. Our Sunrise rescuers pre-stage tire and brake inventory ahead of landfall and prioritize fleets running storm supplies. After the storm, salt-laden winds accelerate corrosion our crews check on every call.
Towing is the most heavily consumer-regulated work in the industry, and almost nobody reads the rules until their car is already gone. Here is what governs a tow in Sunrise, Florida.
A tow you request is consensual and priced by agreement. A tow ordered by police or a property owner is non-consensual and priced under a regulated maximum. Which one happened determines what you can be charged and what recourse you have.
Most jurisdictions require conspicuous posted signage stating that unauthorized vehicles will be towed, who tows them, and where they go — before a removal is lawful. A tow from a lot with no compliant sign is frequently challengeable.
Outside a police-ordered move, you generally decide where your vehicle goes. An operator steering every vehicle to their own affiliated shop or lot is a signal to ask questions before you sign anything.
Your belongings are usually retrievable even while the vehicle itself is held for fees. Ask specifically — most lots will not offer.
You are entitled to an itemized invoice showing hook-up, mileage, storage, and every add-on as separate lines. A single lump sum with no breakdown is the thing to refuse at the counter, not later.
Drivers must move over or slow for a stopped tow truck showing amber lights. This is why an operator will sometimes reposition your vehicle before working on it — a shoulder is the most dangerous office in the industry.

Most Sunrise calls are answered in about 36 minutes. You get a real time before anyone rolls, and the price before the work starts.
Sunrise sits in western Broward County where I-595, the Sawgrass Expressway, and Sunrise Boulevard converge, anchoring one of the busiest retail-freight nodes in South Florida. Sawgrass Mills, one of the largest outlet malls in the country, and the Amerant Bank Arena drive enormous resupply and event-freight volume. Its position between Port Everglades drayage and the western Everglades-edge warehouses keeps trucks moving around the clock.
Sunrise is a city in central-western Broward County, Florida, United States, and is a principal city located in the Miami metropolitan area. The population was 97,335 at the 2020 census, and was estimated at 100,128 in 2024.
Sunrise's location at the intersection of I-595, the Sawgrass Expressway, and Sunrise Boulevard makes it one of the heaviest retail-freight nodes in South Florida. Road Rescue Network's Sunrise rescuers are on-call 24/7, with response time times tuned to the Sawgrass Mills resupply rhythm and the event surges at the Amerant Bank Arena. When a delivery rig or an event-freight truck goes down, the closest verified mechanic is one call away.
Anyone who's dispatched a truck through Sunrise knows that arena nights and Sawgrass Mills weekends turn the FL-869 and Sunrise Boulevard corridors into a parking lot, and a breakdown that's routine on a quiet morning becomes a real problem during the surge. Our network is built around rescuers who plan for the retail and event peaks and stage accordingly. That foresight keeps response times honest even when western Broward fills up.
Whether you're a fleet manager routing resupply to Sawgrass Mills or an owner-operator stranded on the Sawgrass Expressway near the arena, Road Rescue Network coordinates the response. One phone call reaches our 24/7 operations desk, which handles rescuer dispatch, ETA confirmation, and follow-through until your wheels are turning again.
Reviews collected from fleet customers and drivers after completed service calls in this metro.
“Resupply truck died near Sawgrass Mills on a packed Saturday. RRN got a tech through the traffic to us in 36 minutes and cleared a fuel issue on the spot. On a mall weekend, that's a genuinely great response.”
“Trailer tire blew on the Sawgrass ramp by the arena. Service truck found me fast with the right size and got me legal in under 35 minutes. No toll-road upcharge. Great crew.”
“Tractor went down on FL-869 during an event let-out. Recovery took about 45 minutes with all the traffic, but the operator handled it well and the rate was fair. Would call again.”
Road Rescue Network's standard rate in Sunrise, Florida is $99 for the hook-up plus $5 to $7 per mile. A short local tow across the metro typically lands between $120 and $180 all-in. Winching, after-hours calls, storage, and specialty equipment such as dollies or extended ramps are billed as separate lines, and you get every one of them quoted before the truck rolls rather than after your vehicle is on the deck.
The $99 hook-up is the floor. It is charged once the truck is dispatched and connected, and it does not change with distance, so a two-mile tow and a ten-mile tow both start from the same number. That is why a very short move can feel expensive per mile and why combining a tow with a jumpstart or tire change on the same visit is far cheaper than two separate calls in Sunrise.
For a car, pickup, or van anywhere our network runs in Florida, it is $99 to hook plus $5 to $7 per mile. Rates above that generally mean one of three things: the tow was non-consensual, meaning police or a property owner ordered it and it is priced under a regulated maximum; the vehicle needed winching or recovery before it could be towed; or storage has started accruing daily. Heavy-duty Class 8 recovery is a different service with its own pricing.
Often you can. Roughly a third of calls that come in as "I need a tow" in Sunrise are resolved on the spot with a jumpstart, a lockout, a fuel drop, or a tire change, all of which cost well under a tow. If you carry a motor club membership or a manufacturer roadside benefit, it usually covers the hook-up plus a mileage allowance and you pay only the overage. If your vehicle has already been towed, the fee is owed — but ask for an itemized invoice, because storage starts the day of arrival and every day you delay retrieval adds to it.
That rule is about a vehicle towing a trailer, not about calling a tow truck. It is the guidance that you should not load a trailer beyond roughly 80 percent of your vehicle's maximum tow rating, leaving margin for braking, grades, and crosswinds. It has no bearing on what a tow truck charges — but exceeding it is a common reason a trailer ends up needing one.
Yes, on any tow you request. Tell dispatch the destination when you call and the vehicle goes to your shop, your dealer, or your driveway anywhere in the Sunrise metro. The exception is a police-ordered tow from a crash scene, where the first move goes where the responding authority directs — after that, the move from the lot to your shop is yours to choose.
Average response time in Sunrise is 36 minutes for mobile truck repair, faster off-peak and longer during arena events and Sawgrass Mills surges. We pre-stage rescuers for event peaks and publish real averages.
Yes. The Sawgrass (FL-869) corridor by Sawgrass Mills and the arena is our most-frequented Sunrise zone. On event nights and mall weekends we pre-position rescuers and coordinate access with traffic control to reach you despite the crowds.
Every Road Rescue Network rescuer here carries current general liability, automobile liability, workers comp, and where applicable garage-keepers coverage. We re-verify each renewal cycle. Expired insurance means automatic suspension from dispatch.
Yes. We service national accounts with consolidated invoicing, fleet-card billing, and a single point of contact. Most fleets onboard in under 48 hours. Use the form on this page or call dispatch.
24/7/365. There's no after-hours surcharge in our network; rescuers quote the same rate at 3am as at 3pm.
We dispatch routinely to the Sawgrass Travel Plaza on FL-869, the RaceTrac on Pine Island Road, the Pilot near the I-595/I-95 split in Fort Lauderdale, and Love's on Davie Road. Our service trucks know these stops by sight.
Most DPF regen issues we resolve roadside with a forced regen and a cleaning of the differential-pressure sensor. Full DPF removal and cleaning happens at our partner shops. We tell you upfront which path we're taking.
Standard service-call dispatch runs $150-225 in western Broward depending on time of day and service type; event-surge access calls may run higher. Heavy-duty towing starts around $475. You get a confirmed quote before the truck rolls.
Yes. Several Sunrise rescuers run fleet-PM programs with scheduled yard visits, popular with the local retail and event-logistics fleets. Tell us your fleet size and DOT inspection cadence and we'll match you with the right shop.
If we determine on-scene that the truck can't be fixed roadside in a reasonable window, we coordinate the tow with a heavy-duty network rescuer. Many of our service trucks roll alongside a wrecker so there's no second response time.

Sunrise runs about 84,439 people and sits in Broward County, inside the Miami-Fort Lauderdale-Pompano Beach Metropolitan Area. We take the call, find the closest crew that actually does this work, and tell you what it costs before anyone turns a wheel.

Three steps from the call to a cleared scene. Same flow whether you call from a fleet desk or the shoulder of an interstate.
Year, make, drivetrain, whether it rolls and steers, and where it needs to go. AWD, an EV, a lowered car, or a locked wheel changes which truck is correct — thirty seconds on the phone in Sunrise prevents the wrong truck arriving and a second wait.
We match a carrier or wheel-lift to the vehicle and send you the hook-up, the mileage basis, and the ETA before it rolls. No Sunrise driver should learn what a tow costs after their car is already on the deck.
Correct tie-down points, condition photos at pickup, and delivery to your shop, your dealer, or your driveway anywhere in the Sunrise metro. If storage is unavoidable, you get the daily rate in writing before the vehicle goes into the yard.
Network rescuers accept all major credit cards, fleet cards, and consumer payment apps. Confirmed at dispatch.
