Frequently Asked Questions
Is there a difference between towing and vehicle transport?
Yes, towing typically involves moving a vehicle that’s broken down or undrivable, often in urgent situations. It’s usually a short-term solution using tow trucks. Vehicle transport refers to planned, longer-distance moves of operable or inoperable vehicles, often booked in advance. Transport may involve enclosed trailers or multi-vehicle carriers. While both services move vehicles, their purposes, equipment and pricing differ. If you’re moving interstate or relocating a vehicle for sale, vehicle transport is the better option.
What happens if I abandon my car after a breakdown?
Abandoning your car can lead to it being reported, fined or towed by authorities. In many areas, abandoned vehicles on public roads are subject to removal after a certain period, especially if they pose a hazard. You may be charged for towing and storage. If you must leave your car temporarily, place a note on the dashboard and contact local authorities. Always try to arrange a tow promptly to avoid penalties and unnecessary fees.
What is the safest method for towing a vehicle?
The safest method is flatbed towing — where the entire vehicle is lifted off the ground and secured on a level surface. This prevents wear on tyres, transmissions and suspensions. It’s especially recommended for all-wheel drives, luxury cars and damaged vehicles. Wheel-lift towing is acceptable for short distances if done correctly. Avoid using ropes, chains or DIY methods unless you're trained and fully compliant with local laws. Always use a licensed towing operator with proper equipment.
