Relevant regulations of Shanghai for towing fees :

On August 8, 2011, the Shanghai Price Bureau, Shanghai Urban-Rural Construction and Transportation Commission, and the Shanghai Transportation and Port Management Bureau issued the "Notice on Further Regulating the Charges of Shanghai Road Barrier Rescue and Traction Services" to further regulate Clearance and rescue traction service charging behavior, using a clear and reasonable charging standard, to eliminate the "overwhelming price" type of towing fees.

According to the new regulations, the service fees for the removal and rescue traction are divided into two types: traction and removal and rescue costs. Traction fees and basic project removal and rescue fees are managed by government-guided prices. In special cases, the rescue fee is adjusted by the market. Towing costs consist of basic toll and extra basic kilometers. Towing within 5 kilometers (inclusive), the basic towing fee will be charged on a one-time basis; for those exceeding 5 kilometers, the towing fee will be added based on the actual kilometers. The regulations specify the towing fees for basic kilometers and super basic kilometers for ground roads, but they cannot exceed one thousand five hundred yuan at a time.

The new regulations also set a number of "open, fair, and just" charging procedures: all operating vehicles and tolling places that carry out the removal and rescue traction service shall uniformly publicize all the items and charging standards of the service; Before, the service unit should clearly inform the parties of the required work items and charging standards; when charging, the details of the service items, the billing unit and the amount of the fees provided should be clearly indicated on the invoices uniformly prescribed by the tax department, and the parties should be provided at the same time. A standardized work order for the removal, rescue and traction service shall be confirmed by the parties or clients. ^[1]

Relevant toll fees in Beijing:

The relevant person in charge of the Tolling Division of the Beijing Municipal Development and Reform Commission stated in 2011 that it would work with relevant municipal departments to vigorously rectify and standardize the behavior of highway vehicle rescue service charging behaviors, and conduct supervision and review of highway vehicle rescue service charging costs. In fact, the municipal government has formulated a government-guided price standard for highway vehicle rescue service tolls to regulate toll collection.

The person in charge of the Municipal Development and Reform Commission stated that it would strictly regulate the behavior of express pricing of highway vehicle rescue service charges. The enterprise is required to implement clear-coded pricing at the business premises in accordance with regulations, and clearly indicate the charging items and charging standards. At the same time, before the rescue is carried out, the party shall be presented with a charging notification sheet marked with the charging items and charging standards.

In addition, the Municipal Development and Reform Commission will increase the price supervision and inspection, strictly and quickly investigate and deal with price violations such as unclear price marking and misleading price fraud in order to effectively protect the interests of citizens. ^[2]
