Tow truck driver quoted me double once he saw my car

Has anyone else had this happen? My BMW broke down last week, called a towing company, got a price on the phone, then when the driver showed up he looked at the car and suddenly the price went up by nearly double. Said it was because it needed a flatbed rather than a standard truck. Which, fine, maybe that's true, but why quote me one price and then change it on the spot when I've got no other option? Felt like a hostage situation. I paid it because what else was I going to do, but it left a bad taste. I've been reading about what makes the Best car towing service in Dubai and transparent upfront pricing seems to come up again and again, which makes me think I got played. How do you all avoid this? Do you confirm the exact vehicle type on the phone first or just accept that prices change once they see the car?
