Credit Card Processing for Towing Companies
A towing company may collect payment at the roadside with a mobile reader, or take a card by phone when the vehicle owner is elsewhere. Dispatch and driver workflows can make payment collection different from a fixed counter. We explain the related statement lines.
Credit card processing for towing companies starts with what you already pay. Send one recent statement and a person reads your merchant account for towing companies line by line. Free, with no obligation.
Short answer
Can a towing company get a merchant account?
Yes, most towing companies can. No one can promise approval because the processor assesses the business, the owner and processing history. Drivers may collect roadside payments while dispatch handles phone payments for absent vehicle owners. Send one recent statement and we will review it free.

- Offline mode questions where service coverage is limited
Products that fit
Setup that tends to fit
A mobile setup should suit the devices drivers carry and the service areas where they work. Check how transactions are stored or submitted when coverage is weak, and how the office can match each payment to a job.

Send your statement for a free reviewTowing companies: common questions
Can a towing company qualify for a merchant account?
Most do. The processor decides approval based on the business, the owner and processing history. We help find a fit, but we cannot promise approval.
What should I send for the free statement review?
Send one recent monthly statement, every page. A PDF or clear photos work. Upload it on our contact page, and a person will read every line.
Can drivers take payment at the roadside?
Mobile readers can accept payment on site when the device and connection support it. Ask about coverage needs and how transactions are submitted if service is unavailable.
Why can phone payments have different fees?
The card is not presented to the reader, so phone payments may be priced differently from on-site transactions. Your statement can show separate keyed or card-not-present lines.
