Towing Companies Banking in South Dakota — FAQ

Do I need a license to start a towing business in South Dakota?

Yes — South Dakota requires towing companies to obtain a towing permit or operator license and comply with state-regulated towing rates. You'll need an LLC ($150), proper insurance, a commercial tow vehicle, and potentially a CDL depending on truck weight.

What insurance do towing companies need in South Dakota?

Towing companies in South Dakota 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 South Dakota need?
