Who Turns Up at the Roadside in Belfast?
Car Tow NI, a Belfast-based vehicle recovery company, covers accident recovery across Belfast and the rest of Northern Ireland. Every Car Tow NI driver is trained, insured and uniformed, and the driver should confirm motorbike recovery in Holywood your name and the registration before anything is hooked up.
How do you know the right truck has arrived?
Waiting at the roadside for somebody you have never met is not a comfortable position. Expecting the driver to arrive looking professional is not much to ask. Car Tow NI drivers are trained, insured and uniformed.
Expect them to check the registration and your name first. Pay attention to the straps and the ratchets. Neat work on the straps usually means neat work everywhere else.
What is classed as a minor car accident?
Broadly, one where nobody is injured and the vehicles are still roadworthy enough to drive away. The label matters less than it sounds: details are still exchanged, and a car that looks fine can still have damage that rules out driving it.
Who moves the car after a collision?
People come first after a collision, the car can wait. If anyone is hurt, or the road is blocked, that is a call to the emergency services. Only then does the vehicle get moved.
Accident damage often rules out a conventional tow. Bent steering, a locked wheel or a leaking tank all mean the vehicle goes on the bed. Car Tow NI covers accident recovery in Belfast and beyond.
How much does accident recovery cost?
Often nothing to you directly, because where a claim is running the insurer usually deals with the recovery and the storage. Ask who is paying before the vehicle moves, and tell your insurer which yard or garage is holding it.
What will you be asked on the phone?
Five things cover most of it: the location, the make and model, the fault, whether the wheels turn, and the destination. Given those, the right truck goes out immediately.
Mention anything out of the ordinary. An underground car park, a missing key, a van loaded to the roof all mean different equipment. Saying so on the phone saves a wasted visit.
