How we handle an accident recovery
First thing: we check that you're okay and that emergency services have been notified if needed. Our job is to secure and tow the vehicle. If the car is blocking traffic, we move it first to clear the road.
We arrive with our flatbed truck. Depending on the vehicle's condition (locked wheels, damaged chassis, leaking fluids), we adapt our loading method. We load your damaged vehicle with reinforced straps, secure everything, and take you wherever you want:
- ✔ Garage of your choice
- ✔ Body shop
- ✔ Insurance expert
- ✔ Your home (if you want to check with your insurance first)
Quick tip: take photos of the car BEFORE we tow it. It's important for your insurance file.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to notify my insurance before calling you?
Not necessarily, but it's recommended. Your insurance can direct you to an approved garage or an expert to contact. If you're in a hurry (car blocking the road), call us first, we tow, and you deal with insurance afterwards.
Can you transport a severely damaged car?
Yes, even heavily damaged vehicles: locked wheels, deformed chassis, deployed airbags. We have the equipment to load safely. If fluids are leaking (oil, coolant), we secure before loading.
Do I need to be there for the towing after an accident?
Ideally yes, to give us the keys and tell us the destination. But if you left with the ambulance or can't stay, call us, we'll work it out (power of attorney, contact with a relative).
How much does accident towing cost?
Call us at 0479 89 00 89, we give you the exact price based on your situation (vehicle, location, destination). Rate given by phone BEFORE intervention, no surprises.
Will my insurance reimburse the towing?
It depends on your policy. If you have comprehensive insurance or roadside assistance, it's often covered. We provide a detailed invoice for your reimbursement claim.
Do you respond on motorways after an accident?
Yes, we respond on the Brussels Ring and surrounding motorways. We coordinate with police if they're on scene. Stay safe behind the guardrail while waiting for us.
The other driver left, can you still tow?
Yes, we tow your car. For the hit and run, you need to file a report with the police and contact your insurance. If you have witnesses or photos, even better.
My car is blocking traffic, can you come quickly?
Yes, it's a priority. If your vehicle is blocking the road, tell us on the phone at 0479 89 00 89. We send the nearest team immediately.
