Frequently Asked Questions

  • What types of tow trucks are used for different vehicles?

    Different tow trucks are used based on the size and condition of the vehicle. Flatbed tow trucks are common for accident recovery and transporting vehicles that cannot be driven, as they keep the entire car off the ground. Hook and chain tow trucks are used for moving older or non-operational vehicles, while wheel-lift tow trucks are suitable for quick roadside assistance. Heavy-duty tow trucks are required for larger vehicles, such as trucks or buses.

  • How do I choose the right towing service?

    Choosing the right towing service depends on several factors, including the type of vehicle being towed, the distance it needs to be transported and whether emergency assistance is required. Look for a service that operates 24/7, provides fast response times and has experience with different vehicle types. It's also important to ensure the company has modern tow trucks equipped for safe and secure transport.

  • Is towing safe for my vehicle?

    Yes, when performed correctly, towing is a safe way to transport a vehicle. Professional tow truck operators use the right equipment and techniques to secure vehicles properly, reducing the risk of damage. Flatbed towing is generally the safest option as it keeps the vehicle fully off the ground. For additional protection, tow truck operators ensure vehicles are securely fastened before transport, preventing shifting or movement during the journey.

  • How much does towing cost?

    The cost of towing varies depending on several factors, including the distance the vehicle needs to be transported, the type of vehicle being towed and whether it is an emergency service. Short-distance towing is generally more affordable, while long-distance or specialised towing services may have higher costs. Prices may also vary based on the time of day, with after-hours or weekend towing sometimes costing more. It's always best to check pricing with the towing provider before booking a service.
