Key points to know

Here are the practical basics that apply to most towing and transport jobs: 

  • The right tow method depends on vehicle type, damage and access (driveway angles, carparks, flat tyres). 
  • Clear pickup and drop-off details help speed up dispatch and quoting. 
  • A tilt tray is often the safest option for low-clearance, AWD/4WD and accident-damaged vehicles. 
  • Pricing usually depends on distance, access difficulty, time of day and the equipment required. 

Safety matters. Every job is planned around safe loading, load restraint and clear pickup/drop-off instructions. Our operators follow road safety requirements and industry best-practice towing procedures, and we can talk you through any site-specific constraints (tight driveways, underground parking, steep grades or accident scenes).
