FAQ
Common questions
What should tourists include in a tow truck request in Albania?
Include exact map location, direction of travel, vehicle type, whether the car rolls or is damaged, photos if safe, destination city or garage, and whether anyone is in danger.
Should I contact emergency services after an accident?
If anyone is injured, a road is blocked, or there is immediate danger, contact the appropriate emergency or police service first. Towing comes after safety and legal steps.
Can roadside assistance solve a problem without towing?
Sometimes. Battery jump starts, flat tyre changes, fuel delivery and simple lockouts may be handled roadside. Smoke, fluid leaks, crash damage or serious mechanical faults usually require recovery.
