"How much does a tow truck cost?" is the question we hear most often on the phone. The honest answer: the tow truck price in Tbilisi isn't the same for every call. There's no single fixed rate, because every situation is different. We agree the price with you on the phone, before we set off - with no hidden costs. Here's what affects towing cost and how you can save.
What affects the tow truck price
When you call, we ask a few questions to work out the price. Each answer has a direct effect on the final cost.
Distance
Distance is the main factor - where we pick the car up and where it needs to go. Towing within Tbilisi is usually a shorter, simpler trip than going out of the city. If the car is in a region - Mtskheta, Rustavi, or Gori, for example - or needs to be taken from Tbilisi to another city, the price grows with the distance.
Vehicle type and weight
A passenger car is the simplest to tow. An SUV or a minibus is bigger and heavier, so loading and securing it safely takes more time and effort. Tell us the make and model when you call, so we know exactly what we're dealing with.
Vehicle condition
The car's condition matters too:
- Won't move - if the engine won't start but the wheels roll freely, loading is fairly simple.
- Accident damage - a damaged car needs more care and time to load.
- Damaged wheel - if a wheel won't turn or the tire is destroyed, getting the car onto the tow truck is harder.
- Locked steering - when the car can't be steered, loading takes extra work.
Time and location
Our tow truck works 24/7, but a call at night or on a day off may be priced differently. The location matters as well: a narrow street, an underground car park with a low ceiling, or a car that has slid into a ditch takes more work than a standard pickup. In these cases, describe the situation in detail on the phone - we'll tell you in advance how it can be handled.
How to save on towing
The towing cost depends a lot on how precise the information you give us is. A few simple steps help you avoid extra costs and delays:
- Send your exact location - an address or a location pin on WhatsApp, so the tow truck doesn't lose time searching.
- Describe the car's condition - does it start, do the wheels turn, is the steering locked? The more accurate the description, the more accurate the price - no surprises on site.
- Say where the car needs to go - a service center, your home, or a parking lot. A clear destination fixes the price from the start.
- Agree on the price during the call - we tell you the price before the tow truck leaves, so the final amount won't surprise you.
- Don't force a damaged car to move - it can make the damage worse and the towing harder.
What to do when you call a tow truck
- Turn on your hazard lights and, if you're on the road, set up a warning triangle.
- Stand somewhere safe, away from moving traffic.
- Call us and share your location, the car's details, and its condition.
- Have the key and documents ready, and take valuables out of the car.
