How to choose a towing company
- Save your insurer's 24-hour breakdown and accident hotline in your phone. Policies often include towing to an authorised workshop.
- Agree the towing price before hook-up, including the distance, after-hours or expressway surcharges, and storage fees.
- For EVs and cars with low or all-wheel-drive setups, ask for a flatbed tow to avoid drivetrain damage.
- Get the tow company's name, the driver's contact and the destination in writing.
Red flags
- Tow trucks arriving at an accident scene without being called.
- Being asked to sign blank claim or repair authorisation forms.
- No upfront price, then large storage charges at the workshop.
Questions to ask before you book
- What is the total price, including surcharges?
- Where exactly will you tow the car?
- Do you have a flatbed?
- Is there a daily storage fee at the destination?
Questions about towing services in Singapore
What should I do if my car breaks down on an expressway?
Switch on your hazard lights, move to the road shoulder if you can, and get to a safe spot behind the barrier. Call your insurer's breakdown hotline or a towing company. LTA's expressway monitoring teams can help move broken-down vehicles to a safer location. Do not stand between vehicles or in a live lane.
Does car insurance cover towing in Singapore?
Many comprehensive motor policies include towing after an accident, and some include breakdown towing up to a set distance, usually to the insurer's authorised workshop. Check your policy schedule. Under the Motor Claims Framework, you must still report the accident to your insurer within 24 hours or by the next working day.
Why should I avoid tow trucks that show up at an accident?
Some tow operators arrive uninvited and steer drivers to workshops that pay referral fees, which can complicate insurance claims and inflate repair bills. Call your own insurer's hotline instead and take the car to its authorised reporting centre.
