What to put on a tow invoice

Keep it simple and clear. Include: invoice number and date; your business name and phone; customer name and contact; pickup and drop-off addresses; vehicle make, model and license plate; reason for tow; hookup/tow-out fee; tow distance and mileage rate (show per-mile calculation); labor hours and hourly rate; winch, storage, impound or salvage fees; parts or supplies; taxes; payment terms and due date; accepted payment methods; and space for signature. Add a short notes field for authorizations or special instructions.

How to create and send invoices fast

Use the template on scene or right after the job. Calculate charges as: (miles × per-mile rate) + hookup + labor + extras. Round totals, add tax if required, and state payment due (e.g., due on receipt). Save as a PDF and email or text the customer, or forward the invoice to TrackDocsAI via Telegram so it tracks the due date and sends reminders. Tip: attach photos of the vehicle and any damage — they speed up payment and reduce disputes.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I charge mileage and how should I calculate it?

Yes. Common practice is a flat per-mile rate plus a hookup fee. Calculate mileage charge as miles towed × per-mile rate and list it as a separate line item so customers can see the math.

Should I include vehicle details and customer signature?

Yes — record make, model and license plate and take a photo. Get the customer’s signature when possible; if not, note verbal authorization. Photos and clear notes help avoid disputes.

How do I itemize storage, impound or late fees?

Add storage as a daily rate line item with start date, and list any impound or release fees clearly. State your payment and release terms on the invoice so customers know what must be paid to recover their vehicle.
