Breakdown Towing
When your car breaks down mid-road or in front of your house, the first question is: how much does the tow cost? At Recovery Emirates we offer fixed prices known before service begins, with no surprise fees. Our service is available 24/7 across Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah and all seven UAE emirates.
1When do you need a tow truck?
Battery and alternator failures, transmission breakdowns, oil loss, AC failure in summer heat, or multiple punctured tyres at once — all of these need a tow truck to move your car safely to a workshop.
Some breakdowns look minor but driving with them causes expensive damage, like running an engine with no oil or driving on a flat tyre on Sheikh Zayed Road. A tow protects you from a much bigger workshop bill.
2Types of tow trucks we provide
Hydraulic flatbed: the safest and most common option for modern, automatic and 4x4 vehicles. The car rides fully on the bed with zero load on the transmission.
Wheel-lift tow truck: suitable for short distances and tight parking spots. Slightly cheaper than a flatbed but not suitable for luxury or sports cars.
Enclosed flatbed: for luxury and classic car transport with full protection from dust, sun and rain.
3What determines the tow truck price?
Three main factors: the distance from your location to the destination, the type of tow truck required (standard / enclosed flatbed / wheel-lift), and the request time (night emergency vs business hours).
We charge no early-minute waiting fees, no call-out fees and no hidden costs. The final price is agreed before the driver moves from his location.
