Tow truck near me in Bayonne, NJ: six parts of the peninsula, the roads between them, and the towns across the water

Three miles long and a mile wide, Bayonne makes "tow truck near me" mean one thing under the bridge at Bergen Point and another at the 45th Street stop. Below, each part of the city with the truck it usually gets, the road the driver takes to it, and the towns around the bay that call the same dispatcher and pay the same fee.

Six parts of the grid

Tow truck near me by Bayonne section: the same fee everywhere, a different truck and a different way to the curb

Bergen Point, downtown, midtown, uptown, the Route 440 corridor and the terminals on the east side all book at $149, and what varies from one to the next is the truck the street demands, wheel-lifts for the one-way cross streets, rollbacks for uptown's AWD curbs and the open highway lots, wreckers for MOTBY and the Hook, and the route the driver takes to reach you.

Bergen Point and the Bayonne Bridge: 1st to 8th Street

Where Route 440 rises onto the bridge and the streets beneath the approach stop at the Kill Van Kull. Collins Park, the 8th Street stop and its lot, the old blocks off Broadway. Bergen Point is the longest haul from Exit 14A, which makes a truck already in the city worth more here than anywhere.

Downtown Bayonne: 8th to 22nd Street, 16th Street Park, the walkway

The oldest part of the grid: Broadway's storefronts, the 22nd Street stop, the park and the walkway on Newark Bay. On downtown's one-way cross streets the wheel-lift goes in and the rollback stays on Avenue C or Avenue E until a car that needs it is brought out.

Midtown Bayonne: 22nd to 33rd Street, City Hall, Bayonne Medical Center

City Hall on Avenue C, the hospital at 29th and Avenue E, Broadway at its busiest. Midtown has the narrowest gaps and the most double-parking in the city, which is why the wheel-lift leads and the rollback follows to the avenue.

Open the area page

Uptown Bayonne: 34th to 63rd Street and the Jersey City line

The 34th and 45th Street stops and their park-and-rides, Gregg Park by the bay, the apartment blocks on JFK Boulevard, the streets that stop at the border. Uptown is the first section a truck off the Extension reaches and the one with the most all-wheel drive per curb, so the rollback is the usual answer.

Route 440 and Bayonne Crossing: the west side along Newark Bay

The road the trucks arrive on, the big-box lots at Bayonne Crossing, the 14A ramps, the golf club out on the shore. Along the 440 corridor either truck can load in the open, and the rollback's winch handles the cars that end up in the grass. Turnpike and Parkway shoulders are served by the Authority's authorized garages. Book with us and we take the car from the exit or the garage's lot.

MOTBY, Cape Liberty and Constable Hook: the working east side

The old Military Ocean Terminal with its apartments and warehouses, the cruise port and its long-term lot, Port Jersey's gates, the tank farms of the Hook. The east side uses every truck we have: jumps and rollbacks for the cruise lot, medium and heavy wreckers for the docks and the gates.

Name a numbered street and an avenue, a lot or a gate, and the truck that suits your car is on its way.

Roads and exits

Tow truck near me on Bayonne roads: the exit, the bridge approach, the highway and the stations we get called to

Most Bayonne road calls come from Exit 14A where the Extension meets Route 440, from the Route 440 signals by Bayonne Crossing, from the Bayonne Bridge approach, from JFK Boulevard and Broadway, and from the lots at the four light rail stops and the cruise terminal, and every one of them books at the same fee.

Two habits shorten every one of these calls. Get the car out of the moving lane if it will roll at all, into a bus stop, a curb gap or a lot entrance, so the truck can load without closing the block. Then tell the dispatcher the road, the direction and either the numbered street or the exit, because from a shoulder the ramps at 14A and the bridge approach are hard to tell apart.

Call from the roadside

Around the bay

The towns around Bayonne get the same trucks and the same fee

Jersey City on the land side, Staten Island across the bridge, and Newark, Elizabeth, Kearny, Harrison, Hoboken and Union City across the water or up the Extension all share one dispatcher, the same rollbacks and wheel-lifts and the same $149 booking fee, so leaving the peninsula in any direction changes only the miles.

Jersey City

The one land border, straight up Route 440, JFK Boulevard or Avenue E past 63rd Street into Greenville. The shops along Route 440 and Communipaw Avenue, the Turnpike at 14B, and the body shops most Bayonne cars are bound for.

Newark

Across Newark Bay and reachable by road only over the Extension to Exit 14. The airport, the Ironbound's garages and the Route 1 & 9 dealers.

Elizabeth

Southwest across the bay by the Extension and the Turnpike to Exit 13A. The Jersey Gardens lots, the seaport, the Route 1 & 9 strip.

Kearny

North over the Hackensack by way of the Extension and Route 1 & 9 Truck. Meadows warehouses and the Belleville Turnpike.

Harrison

Next to Kearny on the Passaic, past the PATH station and the stadium lots, the same route up the Extension.

Hoboken

North of Jersey City on the Hudson, with streets every bit as narrow as Bayonne's and the same wheel-lift solution to the same boxed-in car.

Union City

On the Palisades above Hoboken, reached up JFK Boulevard through Jersey City. Steep enough that the rollback's winch does most of the loading.

Linden

Home. Across the bay in Union County, where the trucks start the morning and where the 25-minute run over the Extension begins.

A car going from a Bayonne curb to a Jersey City body shop, or from Jersey City to a dealer on Route 440, is one local tow: the fee plus the miles between the two doors. Newark and Elizabeth add the Extension miles, Staten Island adds the bridge toll. Beyond that, the shore, upstate or Pennsylvania, the same rollback makes the trip as a long distance tow with the tolls already in the quote.

On the peninsula or across the bay, same trucks, same fee.

FAQ

Service area: common questions

Short answers to what people ask about this page; the dispatcher can answer the rest.

Which part of Bayonne gets the tow truck fastest?

Uptown and the Route 440 corridor, since that is where the Extension delivers the trucks at Exit 14A. Bergen Point and the terminals are the far ends, though a truck already working the peninsula often beats the yard to any of them.

Is there a tow truck near me somewhere in Bayonne right now?

More often than not. Both truck types work Jersey City and the peninsula day and night, the yard is roughly 25 minutes off, and the dispatcher reads you a window from the nearest suitable truck's real position rather than from Linden.

Do Jersey City and the towns across the bay pay the same fee?

Yes. Jersey City, Newark, Elizabeth, Kearny, Harrison, Hoboken and Union City are all on the same dispatch with the same trucks. A tow across a town line is the fee plus the miles from one door to the other.

Do you send heavy trucks to MOTBY, Port Jersey and Constable Hook?

Yes. The medium wrecker for Sprinters, box trucks and shuttle buses, the heavy wrecker for tractors and full-size buses, billed to a fleet account once a month.
