What is the towbar fitting cost is the first question and consideration when looking to have a towbar. This is quickly followed by searching for ‘towbar fitting prices near me’.

Towbars can be expensive, and the cost varies based on your automobile, towbar, and region, but safety cannot be priced.

So, your towbar must be vehicle-specific, brand new, properly installed, and equipped with a dedicated electrics kit.

Of course, each of these many pieces has a cost, so we’ve broken it down to give you a clear picture of what you can anticipate to pay for a towbar. This covers prices for towbars, electrical kits, and software updates.

Towbar Fitting Price

Towbar prices vary based on car model, towbar type, and installation location. Investing in a quality towbar and skilled installation is a worthy investment if you want to tow anything.

Towbar Price

A towbar’s price varies based on the make, model, and age of your car, as well as the type of towbar you want installed. It also varies on the towbar manufacturer, with certain items being more expensive. This is because some towbars have a more streamlined design or are of greater quality than others.

Towbar prices

There are different types of towbars that each differ in price. Detachable flange towbar tends to be the most expensive with the detachable swan neck version being slightly cheaper. The comes retractable towbars and the fixed style towbars being the cheapest.

However we must say this might vary depending on the brand of towbar chosen, since certain towbar brands are more expensive than others.

Electrical Kits

Electrical kits are needed for towbar installation. An electrical kit is vital because it synchronises the electrics in your vehicle with those on your caravan, caravan or bike rack, as required by law. This includes signal lights such as brakes and indicators, as well as powering the electrics inside your trailer to keep the fridge cool while you’re driving.

The cost of an electrical kit, like towbars, varies substantially based on the kit you select as well as the make, model, and age of your vehicle. Again, prices rise from the most costly to the cheapest:

13-pin specialised electrical kit.
7-pin dedicated electrics kit.
13-pin universal electrical kit.
7 pin universal electrics kit.

A 7-pin universal electrics kit may cost around £50.
A 13-pin specialised electrics package might cost  £115.
We would always prefer a specialised electrics kit wherever feasible. They can communicate with all of your vehicle’s advanced towing features, such as ABS and anti-sway control.
