Quick answers
How much does towing cost?+
Local breakdown tows typically cost $100 to $250 within a metro area, with per-kilometre rates around $2 to $5 applying to longer runs. After-hours, weekends and difficult recoveries cost more. Accident towing fees are regulated in several states, so the crash-scene price is not a negotiation.
Can I choose where my car is towed after an accident?+
Generally yes: you or your insurer nominate the destination, commonly the insurer's assessor or your preferred repairer. Get the tow operator's company name, truck registration and a receipt before the car leaves the scene, and photograph the vehicle. If police attend, they may direct the tow, but your insurer still coordinates from there.
How long will a tow truck take to arrive?+
Metro operators typically quote 30 to 60 minutes, stretching in peak hour, storms and weekend nights. An exact location pin, your vehicle type and whether wheels roll all speed up dispatch. If you are in a dangerous spot, say so; operators triage safety jobs first.
Will towing damage my car?+
Not when the right equipment is used: tilt trays carry the car entirely, and modern wheel-lift setups avoid body contact. All-wheel-drive and electric vehicles generally must go on a tray, not be dragged on two wheels. Confirm the truck type when booking if your car is lowered, AWD or electric.
