How can I get my car towed for free?

Towing is only “free” to you if your assistance policy pays for it — call your insurer or card assistance first for a case number.

Are these prices closed packages?

No. They are base rates incl. VAT (August 2026), weekday, straightforward access. The quote before departure locks the amount for your job (time, access, GVWR, destination).

Why does the rate increase with distance?

The vehicle and technician leave from Annemasse. The further the collection, the more road time, fuel and flatbed unavailability increase. Switzerland adds border time.
