In detail
The default case is a French-registered vehicle with an identifiable keeper, in the Genevois or Haute-Savoie. We check the file before the flatbed leaves: missing originals can mean the approved centre refuses the vehicle.
SkyRoute Auto is an independent operator at 74 bis Route d’Étrembières, 74100 Annemasse . You appoint us. Local transport starts from €219 incl. tax (weekday, straightforward access; indicative range −€20 to +€20). We are not an approved ELV centre, not a cash-for-cars buyer, not an insurer’s network.
In town, a car park or a local road: call 06 82 96 40 84 or use the quote form. On a motorway, SOS / 112 first if the vehicle is still on the carriageway.
Swiss or foreign plates: we can transport. French ELV destruction is not automatic; we do not promise a French certificate of destruction.

ELV collection — French-registered vehicle in the Genevois and in Switzerland
You need to take a French-registered vehicle off the road. SkyRoute Auto prepares the paperwork, loads the vehicle and delivers it to an approved ELV centre. We do not issue the certificate of destruction: the approved centre does. The Annemasse base (74 bis Route d’Étrembières) puts elv collection — french-registered vehicle within reach of the French Genevois, Geneva , Nyon and, depending on the job, Lausanne. We confirm the equipment (flatbed, motorcycle strapping, 4x4, van height) before leaving.
Original registration document (carte grise) · ID of the keeper and all co-keepers · Transfer certificate Cerfa 15776 (transfer for destruction) · Administrative status certificate (no lien / no objection) less than 15 days old. These points do not replace a quote : distance, time of day, access and vehicle type remain the price drivers. See our pricing page.
Motorway: approved evacuation first, then SkyRoute elv collection — french-registered vehicle for the follow-on. Town / car park: direct call 06 82 96 40 84. Independent provider: no AXA, MACIF, TCS or other network — see /assurances/.
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 elv collection — french-registered vehicle, 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 elv collection — french-registered vehicle, 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 elv collection — french-registered vehicle 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
- Is SkyRoute Auto an approved ELV centre?
- No. We collect, prepare the file and deliver. The certificate of destruction is issued by the approved centre that receives the vehicle.
- What papers for a private keeper, French registration?
- Original registration document, ID of all keepers, Cerfa 15776, administrative status certificate less than 15 days old, plus lien release, mandate, duplicate or probate papers as applicable.
- Is collection free?
- No. SkyRoute Auto invoices the transport (local transport base, quote before departure). “Free + bonus” offers often mix buy-back and destruction: that is not our offer.
- Financed or leased vehicle?
- Destruction waits for the lien release. We can move the car to a garage or depot in the meantime; not to an ELV centre while the lien blocks.
- Swiss plates?
- Transport is possible. French ELV is not the default path without a French registration.
