Questions drivers ask

More answers on towing after a collision

What are my rights if a tow truck shows up after a collision in Ontario?
Outside a restricted tow zone, you choose the tow company and where your vehicle goes, unless police or another authorized official ordered the tow. Before moving it, the driver must give you the maximum rates, a list of your rights and a copy of the consent document. Don’t sign a blank form. Our Ontario collision and insurance claim guide covers what to do next.
Can you tow a vehicle off a 400-series highway or the QEW?
Not from inside a restricted tow zone. Ontario has 15 of these zones on provincial highways in the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area, including Highway 404 from the 401 to Major Mackenzie Drive, and only the authorized company for that zone can tow you there. Once the vehicle is outside the zone, you can choose the tow company and destination unless police direct otherwise. Call us for the next leg to our shop.
Who pays for towing and storage after a collision?
Ask your adjuster what your policy will pay, and don’t assume these costs are covered. Storage charges can add up, so find out where the vehicle is and call your adjuster right away. If you move the vehicle from a shop after the first tow, you may still owe that shop for towing, storage and administrative fees. Our auto insurance claim help can supply the photos and estimate your adjuster needs.
How do I get my car out of a tow company’s storage lot?
Find out where it is, ask for the itemized invoice and arrange payment, because the operator can hold the vehicle until paid. You can pay by credit card, debit or cash. The operator can’t charge storage after you’ve made a reasonable attempt to get your vehicle, and you can collect your belongings free during regular hours unless police direct otherwise. We can then coordinate a tow to our shop.
Should I drive my car to the body shop or have it towed after an accident?
Have it towed if the airbags deployed, fluid is leaking, a wheel or the suspension is damaged, or the vehicle won’t start. Those signs can point to problems you can’t see from the driver’s seat. Our tow coordination covers Richmond Hill, Markham, Vaughan, North York and nearby areas. An inspection by our collision repair team then shows what the vehicle needs.
