Been in an accident? We’ve got you covered. Our accident towing services ensure your vehicle is transported quickly and securely, whether it’s to your home or a repair centre. We serve Canberra, Queanbeyan and surrounding areas, with a fast response time to help you when it matters most.
After an accident, dealing with insurance can feel confusing and time-consuming. Our team works with all major insurance providers and understands the process involved in accident recoveries. We can tow your vehicle to your preferred repairer, an insurer-nominated repair centre or a designated holding yard, depending on your policy and instructions. Clear documentation and careful handling help make the next steps smoother while your claim is assessed.
Call as soon as your vehicle is unsafe or not roadworthy after a collision. Signs include fluid leaks, deployed airbags, broken lights, jammed doors or the engine not starting. An emergency tow truck keeps you off a live roadway and prevents further damage. If your issue turns out to be mechanical rather than crash-related, we can switch you to our breakdown assistance so you only pay for what you need.
We confirm your exact location, hazards and your preferred drop-off, then dispatch the closest truck. On arrival, we stabilise and load your vehicle safely, then transport it to your home, chosen repairer or a secure holding yard nominated by your insurer.
For longer relocations after an incident, our team can coordinate interstate towing.
With Underground Towing, you have access to the following services:
Accidents don’t follow a schedule, which is why we provide 24/7 accident towing in Canberra and surrounding areas. Whether you’ve been involved in a late-night collision or an early-morning incident, our drivers are on call to attend promptly and assist with emergency towing in Canberra whenever it’s needed.
Multi-vehicle incidents require coordination and careful planning. We assist with car crash towing in Canberra for multi-car accidents, working efficiently to clear vehicles from the roadway and reduce disruption.
If your vehicle can’t be delivered directly to a repairer, we can arrange secure storage as part of the recovery process. After an accident, a tow truck call-out ensures that your vehicle is transported to a holding yard or insurer-nominated facility until further instructions are confirmed.
Motorcycles require specialised handling after an accident. We provide dedicated motorcycle towing using appropriate equipment to secure and transport bikes safely. From roadside recovery to delivery at a repairer or storage location, every motorcycle is handled with care to prevent further damage.
Being involved in an accident can be overwhelming, especially if it happens unexpectedly or in heavy traffic. Follow these steps to ensure that everyone is safe and the details of the accident are properly documented:
Accidents do not always happen on wide streets. Our fleet includes equipment set up for low-clearance entries from 1.9 m, tight ramps and narrow basements. That means careful extractions from underground carparks without roof scrapes or wall contact.
If your vehicle is nose down or awkwardly positioned, we plan the angle, rig recovery points and clear it methodically. For complex sites, we have a dedicated underground carpark towing service.
Every situation is different. If your car is written off, we can organise scrap car removal. If you need to move machinery between sites or while repairs are underway, we can help with light machinery towing. Comparing repairers or changing insurer instructions is common after assessments, and we can relocate your vehicles or light machinery between addresses as needed.
It is the safe transport of a crash-damaged or unsafe vehicle from the scene to a repairer, holding yard or an address you nominate. Our crew manages loading, secure transport and drop-off instructions.
