If your car breaks down on the road or you are involved in a car accident, you can call your insurance company and get a free towing service!
According to the Malaysian Land Transport Act, every car on the road must be insured. Generally, cars that have defaulted on their bank loans are required to take out compulsory No. 1 insurance, which will include free towing services.
Owners can call their insurance company to request free towing services in the event of a car accident or car breakdown. However, the free towing service must meet certain conditions, i.e. it must be requested by the owner, and it is limited to a few times a year, and only for the distance of the free tow.
Generally, insurance companies limit the free towing service to three times a year and the distance of the tow to 150 to 200 kilometers. However, owners can pay extra for unlimited towing and can decide where to tow their car.
The towing services provided by insurance companies are quite reliable because the insurance companies have the personal data of these towing services. After arranging the towing service, the insurance company will inform the owner of the towing license plate number. The owner only needs to fill in the simple information and then sign.
It is worth mentioning that North and South Avenue also provides free towing services. You can call the North South Boulevard hotline for assistance.
The next time you are in a car accident or your car breaks down, you can arrange for a towing service on your own without breaking the bank.
