Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get an emergency tow truck near me in Downtown Ottawa?
Call Ontario Towing at (613) 619-4545 and tell the dispatcher your location, your vehicle and the problem. We send the nearest available truck, confirm your rate and consent before the hook-up, and keep you updated until the operator reaches you.
How much does a tow truck cost in Downtown Ottawa?
Local tows in Ottawa typically start around $85 to $150 for the hook-up and first few kilometres, then add $3 to $5 per kilometre. Distance, vehicle type and time of day change the total, so we quote your rate before anything moves.
Do you offer 24-hour towing in Downtown Ottawa?
Yes. Our dispatch line and tow trucks run 24 hours a day, every day of the year, even on holidays and during overnight snowstorms. Call (613) 619-4545 at 3 a.m. or 3 p.m., and a dispatcher answers the same way.
How fast can a tow truck arrive in Ottawa?
Most Downtown calls see a truck arrive in about 20 to 30 minutes. Traffic, weather and active calls can change that, so the dispatcher gives you a realistic arrival estimate during the call, and you know how long to wait.
Is towing covered by insurance in Ontario?
Standard Ontario auto insurance does not automatically cover towing. Coverage usually comes from a roadside assistance add-on, a collision claim after an accident or a towing endorsement. Check your policy, pay the operator if required and ask your insurer about reimbursement.
Can I choose where my vehicle is towed?
Yes. Under Ontario’s Towing and Storage Safety and Enforcement Act, you decide who tows your vehicle and where it goes, unless police direct otherwise. Operators must also get your consent first, show their rates and cannot change the agreement afterward.
Do I have to use the tow truck that stops at an accident scene?
No. You choose your own tow operator, and an operator you did not call needs your consent before they move your vehicle. Call Ontario Towing for accident towing, and we take your vehicle to the repair shop or address you pick.
What does roadside assistance include in Downtown Ottawa?
Roadside assistance covers a jump-start service, mobile battery replacement, fuel delivery and tire services, so a roadside emergency often ends without a tow. If your vehicle cannot be fixed on the spot, we tow it to your chosen destination.
Can you pull a vehicle out of a snowbank or ditch?
Yes. Winch-out recovery uses a steel cable and controlled force to pull a stuck vehicle free safely. Call us from a snowbank, a ditch or a muddy lot, and we recover your vehicle first, then tow it if needed.
Do you provide flatbed towing and long-distance towing?
Yes. Flatbed towing keeps all four wheels off the ground, which protects low, AWD and damaged vehicles. For long-distance towing, we move your vehicle from Downtown to another city at a rate we quote before pickup. Ask about both when you call.
How do I find my car if it was towed from a Downtown street?
Call 3-1-1 first, because the City of Ottawa tracks vehicles towed for parking and snow removal enforcement. The Ottawa Police Service can also confirm where your car went. Bring your plate number, proof of ownership and photo ID to the impound lot.
What should I do while I wait for the tow truck?
Turn on your hazard lights and stand well away from moving traffic. Stay with your vehicle where it is safe, and refuse help from any operator you did not call. Keep your phone nearby so our dispatcher can reach you.
