Car towing in the UAE generally costs between AED 100 and AED 500, depending on distance, vehicle type and time of day. With QARO, towing starts at AED 100 (VAT inclusive), with a fixed quote shown in the app before you confirm and a flatbed dispatched 24/7.
What affects the cost
- Distance: Short recoveries within a city are cheapest; long inter-emirate tows (e.g. Dubai to Abu Dhabi) cost more.
- Vehicle type: Sedans are standard; large SUVs, 4x4s and vans may need a heavier flatbed.
- Condition: A car with seized wheels, in a basement car park, or after an accident can need extra equipment.
- Time: Genuine 24/7 providers like QARO keep pricing transparent at any hour, including nights and public holidays.
Flatbed vs. hook-and-chain
For most modern cars — especially automatics, AWD/4x4s and low-clearance vehicles — a flatbed is the safest option because all four wheels leave the road, preventing drivetrain damage. Hook-and-tow lifts only one axle and isn't suitable for many vehicles. QARO dispatches flatbeds for safe, damage-free recovery.
Private towing vs. police/RTA recovery
If you've simply broken down, a private on-demand tow gets you to a garage of your choice quickly. After an accident, follow the official process first: in Dubai call the Police on 999 (or 901 for minor accidents) and obtain a report before the vehicle is moved, as insurers require it. Once cleared, QARO can move the car to your preferred workshop.
