Six districts

Towing near me by Jersey City district: how the job changes from Newport to Greenville

One dispatch desk and one $149 booking fee serve every district of Jersey City around the clock; what differs is the truck and the way in, because a low deck Downtown, a bus lane at Journal Square, a hill in the Heights, a long avenue in Greenville and the Route 440 strip each ask for a different approach.

Downtown: Exchange Place, Newport, Paulus Hook, Harsimus Cove, Hamilton Park

Washington and Marin Boulevards, Grove Street, Christopher Columbus Drive, Montgomery and Grand Streets, the garages beneath the towers, the Newport Centre decks and the Twelfth Street tunnel approach. Low-clearance decks are the rule, so the driver brings the car up to the street before it goes on the truck.

Journal Square, Five Corners and Marion

JFK Boulevard, Bergen Avenue, Sip Avenue, Newark Avenue, Summit Avenue, the PATH transportation center and the Route 139 cut underneath. Bus lanes and double parking decide which way the truck enters; give the cross street and the side of the boulevard.

Open the area page

The Heights: Central Avenue, Palisade Avenue, Riverview, Western Slope

Hilltop streets above Hoboken, narrow one-way blocks, tight curb cuts, Christ Hospital, Pershing Field and the slope roads down to Tonnelle Avenue and Paterson Plank Road. Flatbeds for the family crossovers, winch-outs on the slope after ice.

Bergen-Lafayette and Liberty State Park

Communipaw, Grand, Pacific and Johnston Avenues, Jersey City Medical Center, the Liberty State Park loop, the Science Center garage and the ferry lot. Exit 14B lands here, which makes it one of the fastest districts to reach from Linden.

Open the area page

Greenville, Port Liberté and Greenville Yards

Ocean Avenue, Garfield Avenue, MLK Drive, Danforth Avenue, Old Bergen Road, the gated Port Liberté streets on the water and the Global Container Terminal. First stop for a truck coming up Route 440 from Bayonne, for a sedan or a tractor.

Open the area page

West Side, Lincoln Park, McGinley Square and Route 440

West Side Avenue, Duncan Avenue, Montgomery Street, the NJCU and Saint Peter's campuses, Hudson Mall, Society Hill, Droyers Point and the Route 440 strip along the Hackensack. Exit 14A is the door in; the mall lots and the Lincoln Park loops are the usual calls.

A cross street, a garage name or an exit number is all the dispatcher needs to pick the truck.

Roads and exits

Tow truck near me on Jersey City roads: the exits, bridges and stations we get called to most

The Jersey City calls we see most start on the Extension at 14A, 14B and 14C, on Route 440, at the Hackensack end of Routes 1 & 9 Truck, in the Route 139 cut, on Tonnelle Avenue, on the Holland Tunnel approaches, and in the PATH and light rail lots.

A car that still rolls belongs on a shoulder, a ramp or a side street before you pick up the phone. A car that will not roll stays put: hazards on, you behind the barrier, and the dispatcher hearing the road, the direction and the last exit or cross street you went by.

Around Jersey City

The seven towns around Jersey City run on the same dispatch

Bayonne, Hoboken, Union City, North Bergen, Secaucus, Kearny and Newark across the bay all touch Jersey City, and a call from any of them reaches the same dispatcher, the same trucks and the same $149 booking fee.

Bayonne

South on Route 440 or JFK Boulevard from Greenville. Our trucks are often already working Bayonne, which makes this line the quickest run we have.

Hoboken

North past the Fourteenth Street viaduct on Marin Boulevard or Jersey Avenue; Observer Highway, the terminal lots and the garages along the river.

Union City

Up Palisade Avenue and Summit Avenue from the Heights; Bergenline Avenue and the Route 495 helix approaches.

North Bergen

Tonnelle Avenue northbound past the Heights; the Routes 1 & 9 jughandles, the motel strip and the Kennedy Boulevard hill.

Secaucus

Tonnelle Avenue to Secaucus Road and County Avenue; the Junction station lots and the outlet garages.

Kearny

Across the Hackensack on the Lincoln Highway Bridge or the Wittpenn Bridge; the meadows warehouses and the Belleville Turnpike.

Newark

Over Newark Bay by the Extension or the Skyway; the airport, the port and the Ironbound are the same trucks and the same desk.

Jersey City to any of these towns, or the other direction, is priced as an ordinary local job: the $149 booking fee, the mileage, one quote. Past them, into the city, down to the shore or over a state line, the job becomes long distance towing, quoted the same way with the tolls folded in.

Jersey City or any town touching it: the number stays the same.

FAQ

Service area: common questions

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

Is a tow truck near me anywhere in Jersey City at this hour?

More often than not. The trucks spend the night on the Extension, in Bayonne and along the Hudson, and the dispatcher reads the arrival window off the nearest truck's real location, not off the map from Linden.

Which district of Jersey City do you get to quickest?

Greenville and the West Side, coming up Route 440 from Bayonne or off Exit 14A, then Bergen-Lafayette off 14B. The Heights and Journal Square are the far end unless a truck is already on Tonnelle or Route 139.

Are the towns next to Jersey City covered too?

Yes. Bayonne, Hoboken, Union City, North Bergen, Secaucus, Kearny and Newark reach the same dispatcher and pay the same $149 booking fee.

Will you come to a PATH or light rail station lot?

At any hour. Journal Square, Grove Street, Exchange Place and Newport on the PATH; Liberty State Park, Garfield Avenue, MLK Drive, West Side Avenue and Danforth Avenue on the light rail. Name the station and the lot.

Anything else? Ask on the call.
