Driver's Guide

Everything you need to know about roadside assistance

A car breakdown on the road is a stressful situation. In this guide you'll find practical tips: how to act during a breakdown, types of towing, roadside assistance costs, how insurance assistance works, and the regulations in Poland.

What to do in a breakdown?

Secure the scene

Turn on hazard lights, put on a reflective vest, and place a warning triangle at the proper distance from the vehicle.

Call for help

Contact us at +48 601 41 90 98. Provide your exact location, vehicle type, and description of the problem.

Wait in a safe place

Do not stand on the roadway. Wait behind the barrier or at a safe distance from the road. Our team will arrive in 15-30 minutes.

Call towing — +48 601 41 90 98

Insurance & costs

Towing can be covered by the at-fault driver's liability insurance (OC) or by your assistance insurance. Check your policy — many insurance plans include roadside assistance. If you don't have assistance coverage, we offer competitive prices with a transparent price list.

Regulations & safety

In Poland, towing a passenger vehicle is allowed with a speed limit of 30 km/h in built-up areas and 60 km/h outside. The towed vehicle must have hazard lights on. Towing on motorways requires a specialized flatbed — rope towing is prohibited on expressways.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you provide road assistance throughout Poland?

Yes! We cover all of Poland — from the A1, A2, and A4 motorways to local roads. Our fleet operates across 43 cities in Silesia and beyond, with multilingual dispatch available 24/7. Whether you're in Katowice, on the A4 near Kraków, or transiting the S1, call +48 601 41 90 98 and we'll send the nearest 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 /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.

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.
