Collision towing is the safest solution when your car isn’t roadworthy
Collision towing (or towing a non-drivable vehicle) means moving the vehicle when it has been damaged, is not roadworthy, or it’s no longer safe to drive.
The goal is to handle the situation safely and in a controlled way: move the car away from a dangerous spot and deliver it to an agreed destination – typically a repair shop.

Most common situations where towing is the right choice
Towing is the smartest option especially when:
Your car has collision damage or is otherwise not roadworthy
- Parts are hanging loose / there’s a risk of parts coming off, or the tire/suspension is damaged
- The car is stuck in a dangerous location (e.g., shoulder, intersection, on/off ramp)
- The car can still move, but driving may cause further damage or create a hazard
- Vandalism or theft has occurred and the car needs to be moved to a repair shop or a depot
If you’re unsure whether it’s safe to drive, call us. Briefly describe your situation and we’ll advise you on the best next step.
What we handle and how the process works in practice
Collision towing may include, for example:
- Situation assessment: is it safe to drive, or is towing the right option?
- Moving the vehicle away from a dangerous location
- Towing a non-drivable car to a repair shop or an agreed destination
- A short “safety move” to a safer spot before a longer tow if the location is high-risk
Electric or hybrid after a crash: If the vehicle is fully electric or a hybrid and it has damage or is in a fault state, we proceed with extra care and, if needed, guide you to an EV-specific solution.
Staying safe while waiting for the tow truck
- Use hazard lights and prioritize your safety first.
- Call the emergency number if first aid or authorities are needed
- If you have a reflective vest, put it on before exiting the car
- Place a warning triangle if it’s safe to do so
- Move to a safe spot, call us and share your location – we’ll dispatch immediately
- Avoid standing on the roadway
How quickly will the tow arrive?
Typical arrival time is 15–60 minutes. Timing depends on your location, traffic, weather, and the nature of the job. If congestion or weather affects ETA, we’ll tell you right away on the phone.
What happens when you order post-accident towing?
- You call our 24/7 hotline and briefly explain what happened (location + situation).
- You receive an estimated arrival time and a price estimate before the order is confirmed.
- We help check whether your insurance covers towing (according to policy terms). Insurers often advise ordering towing via their own emergency service, so it’s best to verify coverage and the correct ordering process right away.
- The nearest available unit is dispatched.
- We handle the transfer safely and deliver the car to the agreed destination.
How much does towing cost – and will insurance cover it?
Towing prices depend on, for example:
- vehicle type and size
- location and towing distance
- job complexity (e.g., difficult access, traffic safety arrangements)
- time of day (day / night / holidays)
You’ll get a price estimate in advance.
In many cases, towing is covered by comprehensive or partial comprehensive insurance. We check coverage when you place the order, and when policy terms are met, billing can be handled according to your insurance conditions.
We serve customers of all insurance companies – including If, OP Pohjola, LähiTapiola, POP Insurance, Fennia and Turva (and others according to policy terms).
