Accident towing needs an individual assessment
Vehicle condition, road access, recovery equipment and the scene can affect what is required. Tow My Car’s accident towing service creates a quote reference for a phone discussion; it does not publish the calculated online price.
Put safety and the scene first
If there is immediate danger, contact emergency services. Follow directions from emergency responders and the relevant road authority. Do not enter traffic or attempt an unsafe recovery while arranging transport.
Speak with the operator and your insurer
Explain where the vehicle is, the damage, whether it can roll and steer, and where you would like it taken. Check with your insurer about any requirements before authorising a tow. Accident towing rules vary between states, so check the relevant transport authority if you are unsure about authorisation or charges.
Confirm the job before authorising it
Ask the provider to explain the recovery work, destination, timing, storage arrangements and charges that may apply. Availability of an accident towing listing does not guarantee that an operator can attend a particular scene.
