Budget estimate

$5,000,000 – $15,000,000

This contract covers an entire LAPD service area in a major metropolis, requiring a fleet of tow trucks, staffed facilities, and extensive administrative support. Similar municipal towing contracts in large U.S. cities range from $5 million to $15 million annually, depending on fleet size, mileage, storage capacity, and fee structures. Assuming an average of 30 tows per day at $150 per tow plus storage fees, annual revenue could approach $10 million, with potential upside if additional services (e.g., vehicle holds, evidence processing) are billed. Therefore a reasonable estimate is $5 M–$15 M per contract year.
