People often use "towing" and "vehicle transport" as the same thing, but there are practical differences. Knowing which service you need helps you get the right equipment and price.
Towing
Towing is usually for unplanned situations like breakdowns or accidents. The vehicle is lifted or secured quickly and moved to safety. This is the typical callout for roadside assistance.
Vehicle transport
Transport is usually planned. It is ideal when you want to move a vehicle between towns, to a workshop, or to a new owner. Transport can also include machinery or project vehicles that are not registered or not currently drivable.
Which is best for you?
Ask yourself:
- Is the vehicle safe to move on short notice?
- Do you need a same-day pickup?
- Is the destination a workshop, a yard, or private property?
Common examples
- Breakdown on the road: towing
- Moving a classic car to a show: transport
