Florida’s Turnpike · Palm Beach County · 24/7
Stuck on the Turnpike? We run it every night.
Flatbed pickup on Florida’s Turnpike through Palm Beach County, the shoulder, the exits, and the West Palm Beach Service Plaza. Same flat price as any street in town.
What to tell us: your direction and the nearest exit or mile marker. On the Turnpike the exit number is the mile marker, which makes it easy, Boynton Beach Blvd is 86, Lake Worth Road is 93. Or send a GPS pin and dispatch reads your exact spot. $125 covers hook-up plus the first 5 miles, then $5–7 a mile, tolls are our problem, not a line on your bill.
First: get safe. Then call.
- ✓ Signal and coast fully onto the shoulder, as far right as the pavement allows, wheels straight.
- ✓ Hazards on, day or night. At night, add the dome light so you’re visible.
- ✓ If there’s a guardrail or barrier, get behind it, exit through the passenger side, away from traffic.
- ✓ If there’s nowhere safe to stand, stay belted inside until the truck arrives. Never stand directly behind or in front of the car.
- ✓ Florida’s Move Over law covers you: since 2024, traffic must move over or slow down for any disabled vehicle with hazards on.

Make it to the Service Plaza if you can
If the car still limps, the West Palm Beach Service Plaza near mile 94 beats any shoulder: lighting, fuel, food, restrooms, and room for the flatbed to load safely. Tell dispatch you’re at the plaza and which direction you were heading, it’s one of our smoothest pickups. If the car is done, don’t force it: the shoulder works, we do this nightly.
Road Rangers patrol here too
Florida’s Turnpike runs its own free Road Ranger service patrol for quick assists, a splash of fuel, a tire swap, traffic cover while you wait (dial *347 for FHP). For the actual tow to your mechanic, your dealer, or your driveway, that’s us: $125 + $5–7/mile after the first 5, quoted before we roll, cash or card on scene.
Quick answers
Can I call my own tow company on the Turnpike?
Yes, for a breakdown, you choose who tows you. (Only police-directed tows, crashes, abandoned vehicles, go to the Turnpike’s rotation list.) Call us directly and you know the company, the price, and the ETA before anything touches your car.
Do I pay the tolls for the tow?
No. The price is $125 plus mileage past the first 5, tolls, fuel, and the truck are baked in. No surprise line items.
How do I know my mile marker?
On the Turnpike, exits are numbered by mile, so if you passed Boynton Beach Blvd (86) heading north, you’re in the 86–93 band. Green mile markers line the shoulder every two-tenths of a mile, or just send the GPS pin.
Is night pickup on the Turnpike safe?
It’s our routine: the flatbed positions behind your car with full lighting before anyone steps out, and Florida’s Move Over law requires traffic to give the scene a lane. Stay belted inside until we arrive, we’ll guide you from there.
