Frequently asked questions
- How is this different from the /pannes/ hub?
- /pannes/ lists guides by symptom (battery, keys, accident…). This page groups difficult-access cases and associated 4x4 equipment.
- Underground car park or limited height: what should I specify?
- Maximum height, ramp width, access badge, level. SkyRoute assesses flatbed or winch feasibility before departure.
- Snow or mountain: is intervention possible?
- Yes with 4x4 and chains as conditions allow. Closed road or avalanche: public emergency services first.
- Which service should I book for complex access?
- /services/acces-difficiles-4x4/ for on-site recovery; towing if immobilised. Quote with photos of access if possible.
