Towing Companies Banking in Massachusetts — FAQ

Do I need a license to start a towing business in Massachusetts?

Yes — Massachusetts requires towing companies to obtain a towing permit or operator license and comply with state-regulated towing rates. You'll need an LLC ($500), proper insurance, a commercial tow vehicle, and potentially a CDL depending on truck weight.

What insurance do towing companies need in Massachusetts?

Towing companies in Massachusetts need commercial auto insurance (on-hook coverage), garage keepers insurance for stored vehicles, general liability, and workers' comp. On-hook insurance is critical — it covers vehicles while they're being towed. Expect $8,000–$20,000/year in premiums.

What banking features do towing companies in Massachusetts need?

Towing companies need mobile deposits (you're always on the road), 24/7 banking access, and fast payment processing. AI bookkeeping helps track tow revenue by type (police rotation, roadside, private property) and manage fuel and maintenance costs per truck.
