About accident towing
Accident towing is regulated differently from breakdown towing in most states, with set fees and rules about who may tow from a crash scene. You are generally entitled to nominate where your car goes, usually your insurer's assessment centre, and you should photograph the car and get the operator's details before it leaves. Never sign blank paperwork at the roadside.
Getting quotes in Canberra
When you enquire about accident towing, describe the job specifically: what is happening, how long it has been going on, and anything you have already tried. That detail helps a provider assess the request and may improve quote accuracy if they respond.
Local knowledge counts
If the timing for accident towing is flexible, include that in the Canberra request and ask whether it changes availability or price. The provider remains responsible for confirming both.
Quick answers
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.
Does my insurance or roadside assistance cover towing?+
Comprehensive policies almost always cover accident towing, and roadside memberships include breakdown towing up to a distance cap. Check whether your policy pays the operator directly or reimburses you. Keep the itemised receipt either way; storage days at a holding yard add up quickly if paperwork stalls.
What details should I have ready when I call?+
Location pin or street corner, vehicle make and model, whether it starts and rolls, and where you want it taken. Mention underground car parks or low clearances immediately, since not every truck fits. A photo of the car's situation helps the operator send the right gear the first time.
