Roadside assistance and towing on the route from Poland to Rome covers Czechia and Austria, the Brenner or Tarvisio pass, the A1 motorway through Bologna and Florence and the GRA ring. The service runs 24/7 for cars, campers, trailers and motorcycles; the vehicle can be returned to Poland.
Route Overview
You drive to Rome yourself – and if the car stops on the way or once you are there, we get you and your car home. Rome and central Italy are the furthest of the popular Italian destinations, so the drive is long: through Czechia, Austria and all of northern Italy. We are a Poland-based recovery company serving drivers from Poland and the wider region, and we help on every leg – call us and we will take care of your car, camper or motorcycle wherever it stopped, and bring it back to your home country if a repair abroad is not worthwhile.
Practical information for the road
What you must carry in the car
On this route a warning triangle and a reflective vest are mandatory – keep the vest in the cabin (not the boot) and put it on before you get out after a breakdown; ideally one per passenger. A first-aid kit is required in the transit countries on this route. Spare bulbs are useful too. Missing equipment can mean a fine if you are stopped.
When to set off
This is the longest Italian route, so many drivers split it over two days. The biggest bottleneck is the Brenner under reconstruction (the Lueg Bridge, one lane until around 2030), and around Rome the GRA ring ties the traffic together. If you can, travel midweek or early in the morning, and take a break every 2–3 hours.
The most common summer breakdowns on this route
On a route this long a fatigue-related breakdown is more likely; add the Alpine entry into Italy and the hot, long A1 stretches where cooling and tyres fail most. If the temperature gauge rises, pull over and switch off, but do not open a hot cooling system until it has cooled.
What affects the cost of towing from abroad
We do not quote a fixed price – every case is priced individually. It depends on:
- the distance and where the car must go (nearest workshop or home to your own country),
- the vehicle type and weight (car, camper, trailer, motorcycle),
- whether an on-the-spot repair is possible,
- whether you have assistance or comprehensive (AC) cover.
Call and describe the situation – we will give you the realistic options, with no obligation.
Assistance, third-party (OC) and comprehensive (AC) cover abroad
Third-party (OC) insurance does not cover towing your own car. Abroad, assistance cover is what matters – check whether yours applies abroad and how far it tows, as some only reach the nearest workshop. With assistance we work with your insurer; without it, we arrange transport independently.
What to tell us when you call
To get help moving as fast as possible, have four things ready:
- which country and road you are on,
- the nearest kilometre marker or exit name,
- the make and type of vehicle (car, camper, trailer, motorcycle),
- briefly what happened.
We handle the rest – the callout, contacting a workshop and any onward transport.
What we do after you call
As soon as you call, we establish exactly where you are, what you are driving and what happened. Then we:
- judge whether on-the-spot help is enough or a tow is needed,
- arrange the callout and, if needed, a workshop along the route,
- if a repair abroad is not worthwhile, transport the vehicle (and, where possible, the passengers) home to your own country,
- work with your insurer if you have assistance cover.
Throughout, you have a Polish-speaking contact.
Before you set off
- Buy vignettes for Czechia and Austria; the Brenner is charged separately.
- Check your car's emission class against Rome's Fascia Verde zone.
- Split this long route over two days and plan a stop roughly halfway.
- Plan parking outside the ZTL and Fascia Verde zones in central Rome.
What this route is like, stage by stage
This is the longest Italian route, about 1,600 km, so many drivers split it over two days. On the first day you cross Czechia, Austria and the Alpine entry into Italy over the Brenner or Tarvisio, usually stopping overnight in northern Italy. On the second day the A1 runs through Bologna and Florence to Rome, ringed by the GRA. The final stage – entering the city itself – needs care because of the Fascia Verde and ZTL zones, so it is best to drive to the edge and switch to public transport.
What we do on this route
- Roadside assistance and recovery anywhere along the journey — on the Alpine crossing, the long A1, or once you are in Rome itself.
- Every vehicle type: fully loaded cars, vans, campers and caravans, motorcycles, light trucks and roof-box-laden cars.
- Help on the Alpine crossing into Italy and the long A1 to the capital.
- Coordination with workshops en route and around Rome, mindful of the Fascia Verde and ZTL zones.
- Recovery home to your own country (Poland, Czechia, Slovakia, the Baltics) when a repair abroad is not worthwhile.
- A Polish- or English-speaking contact around the clock, including at the height of the season.
Who we help on this route
- families in fully loaded cars, including with roof boxes,
- campers and caravans,
- motorcyclists,
- vans and 7–9-seat vehicles,
- light trucks and cars with trailers,
- electric cars (flatbed transport).
What to see – Rome
Rome means the Colosseum, the Vatican with St Peter's Basilica, the Trevi Fountain, the Pantheon and the Roman Forum. For the beach there is Ostia (Lido di Ostia), and for a day trip the gardens of Tivoli outside the city. Bear two things in mind: the GRA ring ties together all the traffic around the capital, and the centre has the Fascia Verde low-emission zone that older cars cannot enter. It is best to drive to the edge and switch to public transport.

Customer Reviews
Lightning fast, professional, polite and at a completely acceptable price. Thank you for today's help with my Kangoo and I wholeheartedly recommend to everyone!
Great, professional, reliable, and the boss himself is energetic, cool, helpful — you'd search far and wide for people like that these days.
Highest quality! Rarely do you meet such people — car towed from the highway to a service center, accommodation arranged and the whole family transported to a hotel, all on a Sunday.
I highly recommend. :)
Complete professionalism.

Can I drive an older car into central Rome?
Rome has the Fascia Verde low-emission zone, which restricts older cars (e.g. Euro 3 diesels and older) from much of the centre around the clock – including on foreign plates. Check your car's emission class before entering.
How long is the drive to Rome from Poland?
At roughly 1,550–1,600 km and about 16–18 hours of driving, it is the longest of the Italian routes, so many drivers split it over two days. So it helps to have a roadside-assistance number saved for the whole way, not just Rome.
Do you recover the car from Rome back home — and only to Poland?
We bring the car home to your own country — not only Poland. On a route this long we will immediately assess whether an on-site repair or transport home is better, and we serve drivers returning to Poland, Czechia, Slovakia and the Baltics. Tell us where you are, what you are driving and which country you are returning to.
Does the Brenner construction affect the Rome route too?
Yes – the Lueg Bridge on the Austrian A13 is narrowed to one lane until around 2030. Entering Italy via Tarvisio (A23) is an alternative.
Do you help at night or on a Sunday?
Yes, we operate around the clock, including weekends and holidays – that is exactly when breakdowns on holiday routes happen most.
Will the assistance on my policy work on this route?
It depends on the policy – check whether your assistance applies abroad and how far it tows. Third-party (OC) cover does not tow your own car. If you have assistance we work with your insurer; if not, we arrange transport ourselves.
Do you tow electric cars?
Yes. We carry an electric car on a flatbed to the nearest working charger or home to your own country – we do not tow it on its wheels, as that can damage the drivetrain.
What if it is not a breakdown but a collision?
We help transport a damaged car too. After a collision abroad, fill in an accident statement or call the police (112) and take photos – you will need them for the insurer.
What if I am not the car's owner?
That is fine – we only need consent and the vehicle details. Keep the registration document and an ID with you.
Do you provide road assistance across Silesia?
Yes! We operate in the northern part of the Silesian voivodeship — serving 17 towns within about 25 km of Koziegłowy, including Częstochowa, Zawiercie, Myszków and Siewierz, plus the A1 motorway and national roads DK1, DK78 and DK91. Our dispatch line is available 24/7 — call +48 601 41 90 98 and we'll send the nearest tow truck.
How much does road assistance cost?
Every situation is different — pricing depends on distance, vehicle type (car vs truck vs motorcycle), time of day, and the specific situation (simple tow vs accident recovery vs winching from a ditch). Use our online calculator at /en/cennik for a quick estimate, or call +48 601 41 90 98 — we ALWAYS quote the price before starting, so there are no surprises or hidden fees.
Can I pay by card?
Yes, we accept cards (Visa, Mastercard), cash, BLIK, and bank transfer. For insurance cases, we handle direct billing with the insurer — you may not need to pay anything out of pocket. We also issue VAT invoices for business clients.
How quickly will you arrive?
In cities, we typically arrive in 15-25 minutes. On motorways and intercity routes, expect 30-45 minutes. Response times depend on traffic and distance, but we always dispatch the nearest available truck. Call +48 601 41 90 98 for a real-time estimate.
What is road assistance?
Road assistance means on-the-spot help when your vehicle has a problem: battery jump-start, flat tire change, emergency fuel delivery, lockout service (keys locked inside), and minor on-site repairs. If the problem can't be fixed roadside, we tow your vehicle to the nearest workshop. Available 24/7, even on holidays.
