The insurance capital of the Midwest has quietly become one of its best housing markets, and Iowa winters keep every trade honest. When you compare towing companies in Des Moines, ask every one of them the same three questions: are you licensed and insured for this exact work, who is actually showing up (your crew or a sub), and what does the warranty cover in writing.
Searching for towing companies near me in Des Moines? Everyone ranked below serves Des Moines and the surrounding neighborhoods, including West Des Moines, Ankeny, Urbandale, Clive, Waukee, Johnston. Check the address and service area on a listing before you call, because the closest one is not always the one a search engine puts first.
If this is an emergency, call rather than fill in a form. A breakdown, a collision or a lockout on the shoulder is the case for calling instead of waiting for morning. Ask up front whether they are dispatching tonight and what the after-hours call-out fee is: 24/7 availability is not something a star rating can tell you.

Distance is worth checking yourself: the nearest towing company is not automatically the best one, so this page ranks on rating and review volume first and leaves proximity to you.
After-hours availability is not part of a Google rating, so this directory cannot verify it for you in advance. A breakdown, a collision or a lockout on the shoulder is the case for calling instead of waiting for morning. Call the top rated towing companies on this page and ask two things before you agree to anything: are you dispatching tonight, and what is the after-hours call-out fee. A company that answers both plainly on the phone is usually the one that actually shows up.
