Frequently Asked Questions
Can a trailer or caravan be towed if it breaks down?
Yes, trailers and caravans can be towed by specialised towing services. Depending on the size and condition, the towing company might use a flatbed, a tow ball-equipped truck or a heavy-duty wrecker. If the caravan has structural or wheel damage, a flatbed is often safer. Always inform the company of the trailer’s size, weight and type so they dispatch the appropriate equipment. Towing a damaged trailer incorrectly can lead to further damage or road hazards.
Do I need to be present when my car is towed?
Ideally, yes. Being present ensures you can confirm the destination, sign paperwork, remove valuables and communicate any vehicle issues to the operator. However, many towing companies can still retrieve your vehicle if you’re not present, especially for roadside breakdowns. In these cases, you’ll need to provide access to the vehicle, such as unlocking it remotely or leaving the keys somewhere safe. Always arrange the details with the tow provider in advance to avoid delays.
Can my lowered car be towed?
Yes, lowered vehicles can be towed, but they require extra care and the right equipment. Flatbed or tilt tray tow trucks are usually best for low-clearance cars. Tow operators use ramps and blocks to load the car gently without scraping the undercarriage. It’s important to let the towing company know your vehicle is lowered so they bring the correct tools. Improper towing of lowered vehicles can cause damage to bumpers, exhausts or bodywork.
