Car towing service

What is the current charge for car towing service in the market now? I read somewhere about the charge but can not found it.

Got the info from e-newspaper, thread closed, thanks.

IPOH: Towing charges are up by between 25% and 50%, depending on location, with immediate effect. Federation of Automobile Workshop Owners Association of Malaysia president Cho Chee Seng, citing rising costs, said the recommended fees within city limits (or for the first 20km) were RM100 for daytime towing and RM150 for night towing.

For towing on the highway, charges would be RM150 for the first 20km during the day, and RM200 at night. For every additional kilometre, the charge would be RM1 (day) and RM2 (night). Previously, tow truck drivers charged RM80 for daytime towing and RM110 for night towing within city limits, and RM100 and RM150, respectively, for towing on the highway.

“The last time we revised our charges was 10 years ago,�? Cho said, noting that the fees did not include toll charges and additional equipment needed to recover vehicles such as cranes. Cho said the federation’s members would also increase their labour charges from today, to RM45 per hour from RM25 before.

Yupe, i called them already. Their price a bit high and need me to pay the balance. I will try to ask myself outside and reimburse from them then. I plan to tow my car to KL.
