When a vehicle malfunction is detected and shows warning signs, and you know that a mobile garage or rescue services will not help you at this moment, you should call a towing company.
Anyone who got stuck with the car in the dark in the middle of nowhere was willing to pay any amount to get a tow truck and get it out of trouble.
If you have taken care of full insurance coverage, you probably have a good, reliable and professional tow.
If not, you may run into greater trouble.
The first thing that is important to find out is the availability of the tow truck, and in case you need its services - how soon it will arrive.
This is usually a waiting time of up to three hours from the moment of ordering.
It is important to make sure that the company provides rescue and towing services 24 hours a day so that you do not spend an entire night in the car.
If you travel a lot for trips around the country, it is important to make sure that the company provides towing services nationwide.
Otherwise you will find that you need two garrisons: one that will rescue you to a safe shore and another that will bring the car to your garage.
Towing is not always necessary.
Sometimes with a simple mechanical operation, such as replacing a battery, you can solve the problem and continue driving.
It is therefore important to choose a towing company that can also provide road services for this type of malfunction.
You should choose a company that operates a fleet of tow drivers, rather than a one-person business that owns a tow truck.
The reason is clear: in large companies that operate an orderly array of customer service, working according to price lists there are clear considerations for the pricing of the service and do not try to take advantage of opportunities.
How do you order the tow truck?
Go online and look for towing services with recommendations.
Towing services are booked by call, so it is important that you have a number of phone numbers stored in your mobile when needed.
How much does it cost?
There are three components that determine the price: day (Saturday or weekday), time (noon or midnight) and geographic area.
Towing a private car up to 10 km: NIS 150-300.
Towing a private car up to 30 km: NIS 250-450.
Towing a commercial vehicle up to 30 km: NIS 400-600.
Towing on Saturday and nights - an increase of 120% to 175% of the regular towing price.
Towing from an underground car park - an increase of 200-400%.
Finally, a smart driver thinks about the day he gets stuck with the vehicle and takes care of a tow cover, for any trouble that may come.
