Types of tow truck we operate in Dubai
Different breakdowns need different trucks. Sending the wrong one wastes your time and can damage your car. Five tow-truck types in our active fleet:
Most requested
Flat-bed tow truck (standard)
three Hino 300 series flatbeds for sedans, SUVs and 4x4s up to 3.5 tonnes. The safest tow method for any modern vehicle with AWD or automatic transmission.
Specialist
Low-loader flat-bed tow truck
two Isuzu NPRs with hydraulic tilt down to 4 degrees. Built for sports and luxury cars with under 100 mm of ground clearance (Ferrari, Lamborghini, McLaren, Porsche, Aston Martin, Rolls-Royce, Bentley).
Fast response
Wheel-lift tow truck
Two Mitsubishi Canter wreckers with hydraulic wheel-lift arms. The fastest tow truck for dense Dubai traffic and underground parking where a flatbed cannot manoeuvre.
Basement-ready
Heavy-duty tow truck
for vans, light commercial trucks, pickups and large 4x4s above standard weight (Toyota Hiace, Ford Transit, Nissan Urvan, fully loaded Patrols and Land Cruisers).
UAE-wide
4x4 recovery tow truck
Two Nissan Patrols rigged with winches, sand tracks and shackles for desert and off-road pull-outs (Al Qudra, Big Red, Faya, Hatta, Liwa).
- How it works
How our roadside assistance works in Dubai
1
Call or WhatsApp
Give us your location, the vehicle make and model, the problem, and (if known) the parking clearance height. The call takes under 90 seconds.
2
Smart dispatch
Our system sends the nearest appropriate tow truck — not just the nearest one. Wrong-truck dispatch is why competitors are slow; we solve it on the call. You receive an SMS with driver name, truck plate and live ETA.
3
On-scene loading
The driver confirms the published price (matches the phone quote), inspects and photographs your vehicle with you, and loads it safely. Wheel straps only, never panel straps.
4
Delivery & payment
We tow to your chosen address, home, garage, dealership, or anywhere in the UAE. Pay by card, cash or bank transfer at the roadside. For insurance-billed jobs, no payment from you.
Tow truck pricing in Dubai fixed and published
Most Dubai tow truck companies refuse to quote prices on the phone. We publish ours so you can budget before you call. All rates are fixed at the time of booking — no night, weekend or holiday surcharges.

Arrival at Business Bay basement
AED 400
Exactly as quoted on the phone
Truck: Mitsubishi Canter wheel-lift (2.1m clearance)
Final transport: Hino 300 flatbed → AGMC Garhoud
- Friday 21:40: basement parking level in Marina Plaza
His Mercedes E-Class had failed to start, central locking would not release, and his spare key was at home. The basement clearance was 2.1 m, so a standard flatbed was out. We dispatched a Mitsubishi Canter wheel-lift from our Al Quoz base. Driver Imran arrived in 19 minutes, opened the car using our locksmith tools (no damage), confirmed the engine was electrical not mechanical, hooked the front wheels onto the lift, and walked the Mercedes out of the basement to a Hino flatbed waiting at street level. Final delivery to the customer’s preferred AGMC service centre in Garhoud. Two trucks were used, one published price: AED 400. Payment: card, at the roadside. Time from call to delivery: 74 minutes.

- Frequently asked
Frequently asked questions about tow truck Dubai
Q: How much does a tow truck cost in Dubai?
A: Our tow truck rates start at AED 250 for standard sedan and SUV recovery within Dubai. A low-loader flat-bed for sports or luxury cars starts at AED 350. Heavy-duty tow trucks for vans and light commercial vehicles start at AED 450. Inter-emirate tows are distance-based and quoted before despatch: Dubai to Abu Dhabi from AED 650, Dubai to Sharjah from AED 350. Prices are fixed once you confirm on the phone
Q: How fast can a tow truck reach me in Dubai?
A: Our average arrival across Dubai is 24 minutes. Within Al Quoz, Business Bay, Downtown, Marina and Jumeirah, it is typically 15–25 minutes. Outer areas (Hatta, Jebel Ali, Dubai South) up to 45 minutes. For inner-Dubai jobs, if our tow truck is not on-scene within 30 minutes, your call-out fee is automatically waived; you do not have to ask.
Q: What is the difference between a flat-bed and a wheel-lift tow truck?
A: A flatbed loads the entire vehicle onto a horizontal deck, the safest method for any modern car, especially AWD or automatic. A wheel-lift hooks only the front (or rear) wheels and tows with the other two on the road faster in heavy traffic and is the only option in 2.0m basement parking. We send a flatbed by default and use a wheel lift only where the location requires it.
Q: Can your tow truck fit inside Dubai tower parking?
A: Yes. Our Mitsubishi Canter wheel-lift wreckers and low-profile flat-beds fit in 2.0 to 2.2 m clearance, the standard for Marina, Downtown, Business Bay, DIFC, JLT and JBR tower parking. Tell us the building clearance on the call, and we send the right truck the first time.
Q: Do you have a heavy-duty tow truck for my van or light commercial vehicle? A
A: Yes. Our heavy-duty tow trucks handle up to 7-tonne capacity covering Toyota Hiace, Ford Transit, Nissan Urvan, Mitsubishi Canter, Isuzu NPR, and fully-loaded large SUVs (Patrol, Land Cruiser, Escalade, GLS). From AED 450 within Dubai.
Q: Will your tow truck damage my car?
A: No. We use wheel straps only; never straps over panels, bumpers or paint. Sports and luxury cars are loaded onto hydraulic-tilt low-loaders with soft straps and rubber-faced wheel chocks. Every loaded vehicle is photographed before departure for your insurance record. We have paid out three minor damage claims in 16 years of operation, all documented and resolved.
