When calling, share your exact location, type of vehicle, and the issue you are experiencing to the best of your knowledge (e.g., breakdown, accident, or flat tire). This information helps the towing company prepare the right equipment to ensure they can tow your car where it needs to go. - Location-Specific Services
If you’re on a highway, use the emergency call boxes or contact the state’s highway assistance line for immediate help. If you have a cell phone with you – you can even call 911 for immediate help if your location puts you in danger. - Ask Local Authorities
In an emergency, such as being stuck in a dangerous spot as mentioned above, local police or highway patrol can often expedite towing. - Use a Towing App
Apps like Urgently or HONK allow you to request towing services quickly and often have real-time tracking.
