Roadside assistance and towing in Helsinki city traffic

In Helsinki it’s not usually the weather that surprises drivers, but heavy traffic, congestion, minor collisions and tyre damage. In an urban environment, problems also often arise in tight parking spaces where a car can get stuck or damaged.

Tieapu24 provides reliable roadside assistance and towing services in Helsinki around the clock, every day of the year. We help with sudden breakdowns, accidents and any other situations that interrupt your journey in the Helsinki area.

In many cases roadside assistance and towing are covered by your vehicle insurance. When this applies, the whole process is handled smoothly according to your policy terms, and we help you check the extent of the coverage already when you call us.

In Helsinki we offer a full range of towing and roadside assistance services for the most common situations. Every job is assessed individually so that the solution is safe and sensible.

How fast does towing arrive in Helsinki?

Typical arrival time in Helsinki is 15–60 minutes. The exact time depends on your location, traffic conditions and the nature of the job. We always give you a realistic time estimate over the phone.

How much does towing or roadside assistance cost in Helsinki?

The price of towing in Helsinki depends on the vehicle, location and how demanding the situation is. Often towing and roadside assistance are covered by your comprehensive or partial comprehensive insurance. We help you find out whether towing is included in your policy. You always receive a clear price estimate in advance before confirming the service.

We serve customers of all insurance companies. When the terms of your policy are met, we can invoice the towing or roadside assistance directly from your insurer. We handle customers of If, OP, LähiTapiola, POP Vakuutus, Fennia, Turva and other insurance companies according to their terms. This saves you time and hassle – and helps you get back on the road as soon as possible.

If you’re not sure whether your insurance covers towing or roadside assistance, we’ll go through it together with you before you place the order.

Special features of towing in the Helsinki area

In Helsinki’s busy and often narrow streets, towing is more than just moving a vehicle from point A to point B. The situation often requires careful planning to ensure the towing can be carried out safely and without causing further damage.

Typical situations to consider when towing in Helsinki:

Multi-storey car parks and underground garages
Tight courtyards and housing company yards
Busy main roads and rush hour traffic
One-way streets and limited space for manoeuvring
Our drivers know Helsinki’s traffic arrangements very well and work daily with different insurers, which makes our towing and roadside assistance service as smooth and effortless for you as possible.

Frequently asked questions – towing service in Helsinki

1What happens when I call the towing service?

The call is free and doesn’t obligate you to order anything. We go through your situation calmly, explain how things will proceed and give you an estimate before you need to decide.

2How does the order progress when I call for towing?

On the call we go through the situation and your location, give an estimated arrival time and, if needed, check what your insurance covers. You get a clear picture of the next steps already during the call.

3Do I have to handle the insurance claim myself?

In most cases, no. We serve customers of all insurance companies and help you find out whether your insurance covers roadside assistance or towing.

4Can you help on site without towing the car?

Yes. We always try to solve the problem on the spot first, if it’s safe and possible. Many issues – such as a dead battery or tyre problems – can be fixed where the car stands. We don’t tow the vehicle unnecessarily if the problem can be resolved in another way.

5Who comes when I order towing?

Every job is handled by a professional Tieapu24 driver who knows the Helsinki traffic environment. We are not a broker service – we do all work ourselves with our own vehicles.
