Frequently Asked Questions
What services does a tow truck in Darwin provide?
A tow truck in Darwin provides 24/7 towing and vehicle recovery for cars, utes, 4WDs, trucks, motorcycles and heavy equipment. Services typically include breakdown towing, accident recovery, remote-area recovery, tilt-tray transport, machinery transport, and long-distance towing across the NT. Many operators also provide roadside assistance, such as jump-starts and vehicle relocation.
How fast can a tow truck reach me in Darwin?
Most tow truck companies in Darwin can reach you in 20–45 minutes in the Darwin metro area, depending on traffic and location. Remote areas like the Stuart Highway, Arnhem Highway, Humpty Doo, or Palmerston may take longer. The fastest response times come from local Darwin-based operators with trucks already on the road.
How much does a tow truck cost in Darwin?
Tow truck prices in Darwin usually start from $120–$180 for metro towing and increase based on distance, vehicle type, after-hours service, and remote recovery. Long-distance towing or heavy-duty towing is quoted individually. A reputable tow truck service will give you a fixed, up-front price before dispatching.
What vehicles can a tow truck move?
Tow trucks can move a wide variety of vehicles, including cars, utes, vans, motorcycles, caravans and even light commercial trucks. Heavy-duty tow trucks and super tilt trays can also carry machinery, containers or buses. The type of tow truck used depends on the vehicle's size, condition and location.
Can tow trucks operate in remote areas?
Yes. In the Northern Territory, many tow truck companies specialise in remote area recovery. These services are equipped to access difficult terrain and travel long distances. If you’re in a remote area, it’s important to let the company know so they can dispatch the right truck and driver for the job.
What should I do while waiting for a tow truck?
If you’ve broken down, make sure your hazard lights are on, and move to a safe location if possible. Stay in your vehicle unless it’s unsafe. If it’s dark or remote, try to keep your phone charged and have your location ready. The more details you can provide the faster help will arrive.
