Heres my .02.. I've had to have my car towed twice. 1.) Alternator went bad 
and the other was 2 weeks ago, reason is a long story.. but next time I'll be sure to move my truck before I try and pop the clutch down the drive way to start the car with a bad battery
Each time the car went on a Flat bed, but the first the tow driver used hooks under the car to secure it to the bed.. This created a huge problem unloading, because 1 hook was torqued so well, it didnt want to come loose when it came time to un load the car.
The second tow experiance, the driver secured the car with wheel straps
Worked like a charm.
So for those who are haveing an emergency tow I highly recomend the flat bed and wheel strap combo!

If you are using a U-haul auto transport, the font works fine. Check out my post.
