Hannan Towing & Recovery FAQs

Towing is necessary when a vehicle is unable to move due to mechanical failure or damage due to an accident, when it is illegally parked, or when it needs to be transported over long distances.

It involves connecting the disabled vehicle to the tow truck using a secure attachment such as tow hooks or axles. Tow trucks use a tow bar or a tow dolly to hoist up a vehicle. The tow truck then pulls the vehicle to its intended destination, such as a repair shop or impound lot.

In most cases, it is not necessary for the vehicle owner to be present during the towing process. However, it is advisable to remove any personal belongings from the vehicle before it is towed.

The cost of towing can vary depending on factors such as the distance to be towed, the type of vehicle, and any additional services required. It is best to contact a towing service directly to obtain an accurate quote.

Most vehicles can be towed, including cars, motorcycles, trucks, and recreational vehicles. However, there may be limitations based on the towing capacity of the tow truck or specific requirements for certain types of vehicles such as AWD or electric vehicles.

Whether towing is covered by insurance depends on the specific insurance policy. Some insurance policies may include roadside assistance coverage, which may cover towing expenses in certain situations. It is recommended to review your insurance policy or contact your insurance provider for more information.

The duration of the towing process can vary depending on factors such as the location, availability of tow trucks, and traffic conditions. Towing companies strive to provide prompt service, but delays may occur in certain circumstances.

In some cases, you may be able to request a specific towing company, especially if you have a preferred provider or if your insurance policy specifies a preferred towing service. However, it is important to check with your insurance company or local authorities for any specific guidelines or recommendations.

If your vehicle has been towed, you should contact the local authorities or parking enforcement to determine the location of the impound lot. You will typically need to provide proof of ownership and pay any necessary fees to retrieve your vehicle.
