For vehicles not exceeding 6,000 pounds going to a single location, the fee was increased to a flat rate of $400 while vehicles that require a tow to a collision report centre and then a second location would spike to about $750.argues the old fees did not take the dramatic increase in fuel prices, insurance and other related costs into account.
“The Highway Traffic Act requires a vehicle attend a CRC in property damage only collisions valued at over $2,000, which makes it clear the majority of consumers in need of towing services after a collision will be hit with the larger of these two increases,” Kim Donaldson, vice president of Ontario with IBC, wrote in the letter.
