Vehicle Recovery and Towing Services

Clearing of disabled vehicles from the roadway and other sensitive areas is critical to maintaining a safe roadway system.

To accomplish this, the Tollway established two programs:

  • Vehicle Recovery Service Program
  • Towing and Road Service

Formal policy guidelines are established with qualified towing and vehicle recovery operators located throughout the Illinois Tollway system. These operators provide quick and efficient response to clearing the road due to a disabled vehicle, crash or other incident.

The formal policy guidelines define the duties and responsibilities of towing and vehicle recovery operators authorized to service the Illinois Tollway. All qualified service vehicles bear an authorization sticker. The policy guidelines also identify the maximum rates that can be charged for services. Performance of towing and vehicle recovery firms is audited by the Illinois Tollway. This ensures compliance with policy guidelines, as well as safe, quick and courteous service to Tollway customers.

The Tollway system covers 294 miles of roadway across 12 counties. Authorized road service providers are established within specific zones.

Motorists may call for their own service, as long as their vehicle is not blocking a live traffic lane or in an unsafe position.
