Roadside insurance

MAIF & local recovery

MAIF policy (responsible mutual insurer) and a vehicle immobilised in the Genevois? SkyRoute Auto attends as an independent provider — quote, invoice, case number to keep.

Independent roadside assistance — local recovery outside the MAIF network, SkyRoute Auto Annemasse and Geneva

Independence

SkyRoute Auto is not the official partner of MAIF. We do not belong to its assistance network. Work is quoted and billed to the customer; any reimbursement depends solely on your policy.

MAIF in Greater Geneva

MAIF appears in the road-insurance catalogue. Responsible mutual insurer. Associated cover: Motor, Motorcycle, Lorry, Van, Trailer. SkyRoute Auto is not the official MAIF network: we carry out the vehicle job if you appoint us.

The assistance flatbed applies a scale (km, 0 km, Europe). The Genevois (border, car parks, snow, two-wheelers) often falls outside the average case — hence a local quote .

MAIF also covers two-wheelers in the catalogue. A Vespa or a TMAX is loaded strapped, not like a city car. See /moto/ and /services/depannage-moto/.

MAIF & local recovery

MAIF (mutual): the same principle — independent provider. Useful when you want to choose the destination (usual garage, home, Switzerland) rather than an imposed garage.

MAIF is not the recovery operator

MAIF policy (responsible mutual insurer) and a vehicle immobilised in the Genevois? SkyRoute Auto attends as an independent provider — quote , invoice, case number to keep. Responsible mutual insurer SkyRoute Auto is the official partner of no MAIF policy: we carry out the vehicle job if you appoint us, with a quote and an invoice. The MAIF assistance flatbed applies its own scale (0 km, km, Europe, imposed garage).

Catalogue cover: Motor, Motorcycle, Lorry, Van, Trailer. Specialisms: Private individuals, Professionals, Teachers. Typical local call-outs: delay too long, unsuitable equipment (EV, -2, motorcycle, prestige), Geneva destination outside the scale, or a follow-on after approved motorway evacuation.

Keep the MAIF case number. Then submit our invoice. Reimbursement = the insurer’s decision, not ours. Motorway: SOS / 112 whatever the policy. Request a quote online mentioning your insurer.

Who attends, and from where

SkyRoute Auto is an independent breakdown, towing and transport provider, based at 74 bis Route d’Étrembières, 74100 Annemasse , France. For a MAIF file, the call comes through on a local number (⁦06 82 96 40 84⁩): not a national switchboard promising “20 minutes anywhere in France”. The slot we give depends on traffic, weather, access (surface, underground, snow) and the distance from Annemasse .

We remain outside insurers’ official networks. You can appoint us for a MAIF file, obtain an invoice, then submit the file to your roadside assistance: any reimbursement depends solely on your policy. Keep the case number if one already exists.

On a motorway or expressway, the initial recovery remains the approved circuit (SOS phone or 112, dispatch may be via sos-auto-moto.fr). SkyRoute Auto then handles repatriation or transport to a garage, home or Switzerland — see our motorway procedure . In town, a car park or a residence, you call us directly.

What we need for a useful quote

To handle a MAIF file without a second trip: exact address (street, car park, floor, badge / intercom), make and model, manual or automatic gearbox, whether the vehicle still rolls, the destination you want, photos of the access and of the vehicle. Mention a high-voltage pack (hybrid / electric), a motorcycle, a van or a prestige car: the equipment is not the same.

Hours: 24/7 subject to availability, including weekends and bank holidays. Life-threatening emergency or a blocked carriageway: prefer a phone call. Planned transport: online quote . Base rates inc. VAT (daytime, straightforward access, Genevois): car breakdown recovery 99 € – 139 €, car towing 169 € – 209 € — more distant communes, Switzerland, night work and difficult access are surcharged; see our pricing page.

Frequently asked questions

Are you the official partner of this insurer?
No. SkyRoute Auto is an independent provider. We are not part of any insurer’s assistance network. You can appoint us directly, then submit the invoice to your insurer according to your policy.
What if I already have a roadside assistance case number?
Keep it. Provide it when requesting a quote. Depending on your policy, cover, a top-up or reimbursement may apply — that is decided by your insurer, not SkyRoute Auto.
What should I do on the motorway?
Use an SOS phone or call 112 for approved evacuation; sos-auto-moto.fr dispatch may complement this. SkyRoute Auto then handles repatriation / transport. See Motorway procedure.
Do you operate at night and at weekends?
Yes, 24/7 subject to booking / availability, including bank holidays.
How do I get a quote?
Call 06 82 96 40 84 or use the quote form: location, destination, make/model, whether the vehicle is drivable, access details, and any roadside assistance case number.
