How It Works

How Does Our Dubai Car Towing and Recovery Work?

Send your location on WhatsApp to +971 50 675 7839, call +971 54 449 2987 or book in the CarTow app. In Dubai, a pinned location plus one landmark helps your captain find you quickly: the nearest exit or interchange on Sheikh Zayed Road, the tower name in JLT or Business Bay, or the building and street in Deira. Tell us your car and where it needs to go, and we arrange a verified captain nearby. The price is agreed before the tow starts, and in the app you can follow the truck live until it reaches you.

Our Services

Car Towing & Car Recovery Services in Dubai

Car Towing

Anywhere from Deira to Dubai Marina, a verified CarTow captain tows your car to your garage, dealership or home. Send your pin with a landmark, such as a tower name or metro station, and the price is agreed before the tow starts.

01

Car Recovery

Dubai's summer heat is hard on engines and batteries, and cars often give up in slow traffic. If yours has broken down or won't start, we recover it from where it stopped and take it to your garage.

02

Vehicle Recovery

Stopped on Al Khail Road, stuck on a kerb in JVC or stranded outside your building? CarTow recovers cars, SUVs and 4x4s that can't be driven and moves them anywhere in Dubai or on to another emirate.

03

Emergency Towing

A breakdown on Sheikh Zayed Road or Emirates Road needs quick, calm help. Turn on your hazards, get behind the barrier and send us your pin with the nearest exit. We arrange a captain nearby, and the app shows their ETA.

04

Roadside Assistance

Not sure what's wrong or what to do next? Message or call us from wherever you've stopped in Dubai. We'll help you stay safe at the roadside and arrange a tow to the right garage, in English, Arabic, Hindi or Urdu.

05

Accident Recovery

After a minor collision in Dubai, report it through the Dubai Police app, or call 999 if anyone is hurt. Once it's reported, CarTow moves the damaged car to your garage or your insurer's approved workshop.

06

Flatbed & Long-Distance Towing

A flatbed keeps all four wheels off the road, which suits low sports cars, EVs and gearbox damage. Moving a car from Dubai to Abu Dhabi, Sharjah or further? We handle long-distance towing with the price agreed before you set off.

07

Motorcycle Towing

From delivery riders to weekend bikers, a breakdown leaves you stuck. CarTow tows motorbikes and scooters across Dubai to your workshop or home. Just tell us the type of bike when you request.

08

Desert & Sand Recovery

Soft sand can stop even a capable 4x4 on a track outside the city. Stop spinning the wheels, stay with the car and keep water handy, then send your pin on WhatsApp. CarTow sends a captain to recover your vehicle and get it back to the road.

09

Book a Tow in Dubai with the CarTow App

Pick a nearby captain after seeing their rating and ETA, then follow the truck live as it makes its way to you. Available on the App Store, Google Play, and Huawei AppGallery.

How do I get car recovery in Dubai?

Send your location on WhatsApp to +971 50 675 7839, call +971 54 449 2987, or book in the CarTow app. Tell us your car and where it needs to go, and we arrange a verified tow truck captain nearby. You don’t need the app to request help.

CarTow provides car towing and recovery across Dubai, including Downtown Dubai, Dubai Marina, Business Bay, Jumeirah, Deira, Al Barsha, Dubai Silicon Oasis, JVC, Arabian Ranches and the surrounding areas. If you’re unsure whether we reach your location, message us on WhatsApp.
It depends on where you are and the traffic. A rush-hour breakdown on Sheikh Zayed Road can take longer to reach than a quiet residential street. In the app, you see each nearby captain’s ETA before you book.
The price depends on the distance, your vehicle and where it’s stuck, so there’s no single fixed rate. You’ll know the price before the tow starts, and you pay the captain in cash once the job is done.
Turn on your hazard lights and pull onto the hard shoulder if you can. Get everyone out on the side away from traffic and wait behind the barrier. If you’re stuck in a live lane or anyone is hurt, call 999. Then send CarTow your pinned location and the nearest exit or landmark on WhatsApp.
High heat puts extra strain on car batteries, cooling systems and tyres, so overheating, flat batteries and tyre blowouts become more common in long, slow traffic. After heavy rain, avoid restarting a car that has been through deep water, as this can damage the engine. If your car can’t be driven, CarTow can tow it to your garage.
Yes. CarTow provides desert and sand recovery for cars and 4x4s stuck on desert tracks and dunes around Dubai. Stop spinning the wheels, as that digs the car in deeper, stay with your vehicle and keep water with you. Then send your pinned location on WhatsApp so your captain can find you.
If no one is hurt, move to a safe spot if the car can be driven and report the accident through the Dubai Police app. Call 999 if anyone is injured. If your car can’t be driven afterwards, CarTow provides accident recovery and can take it to your garage or insurer’s workshop.
Yes. CarTow offers flatbed and long-distance towing, so your car can be taken from Dubai to a garage or home in another emirate. Share the pickup and drop-off locations when you request, and the price is agreed before the tow starts.
Every CarTow captain is verified before taking jobs, including a UAE driving licence check, a tow truck inspection and a background check. After each job you can rate your captain, and our team reviews any reported issue within 48 hours.
Yes. CarTow also provides car towing and recovery in Abu Dhabi, Sharjah and Ajman.
