Car Towing Overview
- Car towing transports vehicles using trucks for reasons including accidents, breakdowns, and repossessions.
- Assess the situation, secure, and transport your vehicle. Prices are based on distance and vehicle type.
- Regulations allow approved companies to intervene on motorways, with pricing dependent on on-site repair or towing costs.
Towing Services and Insurance
- Insurance may cover towing for an additional monthly fee, which may or may not be included in a roadside package.
- Full roadside packages provide more assistance, and most tows occur when the vehicle is not running.
Towing Equipment and Techniques
- Companies offer skilled mechanics, insurance, and gear like tow bars for towing services.
- Different types of tow hitches include ball, tow bar, and fifth wheel, ensuring safe and interoperable equipment use.
Potential Damage from Towing
- Tow bars attach vehicles easily and cheaply but may stress frames and drivetrains over time.
- Using tow dollies allows front wheels to spin freely, and the cost of a 40-mile tow typically ranges from $125 to $250.
