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 Southbank
For accident towing, ask each tow truck operator two things up front: the all-inclusive price, and how soon they can attend Southbank. If the job is not urgent, saying so can shave real money off the quote, since operators can slot you into an existing Inner Melbourne run.
Local knowledge counts
A business may list the Inner Melbourne as a service area without being available for every Southbank request. Ask about local experience, timing and the full price if the provider responds.
Quick answers
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.
