Relocating, selling remotely, or moving a non-runner across the province — Fast Tow operates fully-equipped flatbeds on long distance routes throughout BC and into Alberta. One call confirms your route, price, and schedule.
Long distance towing is not the same as a local tow across town. Route planning, secure loading, vehicle condition, and insurance all matter more when your vehicle is on a flatbed for five or ten hours at highway speed.
Long haul routes through the Interior, Sea-to-Sky, or Coquihalla require planned fuel stops and timing around mountain pass conditions. Fast Tow dispatchers confirm the route and estimated transit time before departure so you know exactly when to expect delivery.
A vehicle strapped for a 10-minute local tow may not be adequate for five hours at 110 km/h. Fast Tow loads every long distance vehicle with rated tie-down straps, wheel chocks, and a pre-departure inspection to confirm the load is stable before we leave Metro Vancouver.
Many long distance towing requests involve vehicles that cannot drive — seized engines, failed transmissions, post-collision damage, or total losses being moved to an auction or salvage yard. Our flatbeds load non-runners using wheel dollies and winch-assist when the vehicle cannot roll freely.
Moving provinces or selling a vehicle to a buyer across BC are among the most common long distance towing scenarios. Fast Tow handles the full logistics — pickup from the seller, delivery to the buyer — so you don't need to be present at both ends of the transaction.
The Coquihalla and Rogers Pass routes can close or require chains with little notice in winter. Fast Tow monitors conditions on your route and schedules departures to avoid delays. We have winter-equipped trucks and advise on timing when severe weather is forecast.
Vehicles transported across the BC-Alberta border must carry valid registration and insurance documentation. If you're moving a recently purchased or uninsured vehicle, Fast Tow advises on the required paperwork during the booking call so there are no surprises at the border.
Fast Tow has operated long distance routes from Metro Vancouver for years. We know the Coquihalla, the Sea-to-Sky, and the routes through the Interior. Your vehicle leaves on a flatbed and arrives at its destination exactly as it left — secured, inspected, and on time.
Every long distance transport is done on a flatbed. We do not use tow bars or wheel-lift for long hauls — your vehicle rides on the deck for the full route. This protects the drivetrain, eliminates wear, and keeps all four wheels off the pavement from pickup to delivery.
Our long distance trucks are GPS-tracked for the full haul. We provide an estimated delivery window upfront and can give you a status update on request during transit. You're never in the dark about where your vehicle is on the road.
Fast Tow carries cargo liability insurance that covers your vehicle throughout the long distance transport. Before you confirm the booking, we can advise on coverage limits and what your own insurance may also apply. Long haul transport should never be done without documented cargo coverage.
Long distance towing is quoted per kilometre with a base rate, confirmed before we dispatch. The price covers everything — fuel, tolls, driver time, and any required stops. We do not add fuel surcharges after booking or bill for extras at delivery. What you're quoted is what you pay.
Every long distance transport departs with a load inspection and arrives with a delivery confirmation. No damage, no surprises, no additional charges.
From your call to delivery at the destination — four steps, one number, one truck.
Call (604) 332-1211 and give us your pickup address, destination, and vehicle details. We calculate the route, confirm transit time, and provide a fully inclusive quote before we schedule anything. No obligation — the quote is free.
Once you confirm the booking, we schedule a departure window that works for your timeline. For non-urgent long distance moves we plan around route conditions and pass forecasts. Urgent pickups are dispatched the same day where available.
At pickup, our driver loads your vehicle onto the flatbed and performs a full tie-down inspection before departure. The condition of the vehicle is documented — paint, panels, glass — so there is a clear record from the moment it leaves your hands.
At the destination, your vehicle is offloaded and the condition confirmed against the pickup record. We notify you when the vehicle is delivered. If the recipient cannot be present at the time of delivery, we arrange a secure drop-off location and confirm by phone.
Fast Tow operates on all major BC routes and cross-provincially into Alberta. Don't see your destination? Call us — we'll confirm coverage immediately.

"Sold my car privately to a buyer in Kelowna. Fast Tow picked it up at my place in South Vancouver, loaded it onto a flatbed, and delivered it to the buyer's address the same day. The buyer sent me a photo — car arrived in perfect condition. Exactly what I needed."
"We relocated from Burnaby to Calgary and needed both vehicles transported since we were flying. Fast Tow handled the logistics completely — two vehicles, one pickup window, both delivered to our new address in Calgary. Professional from start to finish and the price was clearly quoted upfront."
"My truck broke down near Prince George with a seized engine — completely undrivable. Fast Tow drove up from Vancouver, loaded it with a wheel dolly since it wouldn't roll, and brought it back to my mechanic in Coquitlam. Long way for a tow but they didn't hesitate. Worth every dollar."
