When it comes to drinking too much in an unexpected situation and trying to decide whether to call a cab or a tow truck can seem to be a daunting task. What advantages are there in calling a tow truck service such as Abrams towing over calling a cab to drive you home? Are these advantages significant ones? Wouldn’t be just as effective if a cab was called to drive you home and then get your vehicle in the morning? These are all good questions to ponder when a driver is deciding what to do if they are unable to drive their vehicle home because they had too much to drink.
Although vehicle theft is a crime during daylight hours, it is more likely to happen in the cover of night. The dark allows the thief cover and they usually strike when it is dark and when nobody is around. If you call a cab and leave your vehicle until the next morning, it may not be there when you return. The chances of finding your vehicle fully intact are slim to none. If you take the cab home because you thought it would be cheaper, think again. Not only did you pay the cab twice, now you have to possibly pay for another vehicle. Even if you had theft coverage, your insurance premiums will increase and chances are that your insurance won’t cover the entire cost of the replacement vehicle.
If you parked your car in an area where there are parking meters, you must take into consideration the likelihood that the time will expire and you will not be there to pay for more time. Your vehicle will be towed away and impounded while you are home. This will result in the possibility of having to take a cab to the impound lot to retrieve your vehicle and then having to pay for storage, towing, and a fine for expired meter all come into play. Since your vehicle will probably be towed away any case, it seems more cost effective to just call one of the Toronto towing companies to tow your vehicle home and give you a ride in the process.
While making the decision of what should be done, keep in mind that your vehicle will be left unattended overnight which opens the door for theft and vandalism. Unattended vehicles are easy prey for criminals. Just because you may have an alarm system in your vehicle doesn’t mean they can’t steal it. Criminals are crafty and know how to disarm alarm systems while stealing your car. If your car isn’t stolen, chances are that someone could come along and spray paint it or steal wheels, hubcaps, rims, and whatever else they can get. An insurance nightmare just waiting to happen.
In the unlikely event that this ever happens to you, consider the consequences of just leaving your vehicle behind and getting it in the morning. The chances of you returning to get your vehicle without it being towed for expired parking meter, being stolen, or vandalized will more than likely be more expensive than calling a Toronto towing company in the first place. They will kindly tow your vehicle back to your house and you can ride along without having to pay a taxi and a tow truck service. It is more cost effective to use a towing service. For a modern and professionally run towing company doing business in Toronto or Ontario, the towing company is expected to have an easy to find website allowing users to request service online or by the phone.
