tow a car

Towing a car isn't just about hooking up a rope and hoping for the best. In Australia, you need to consider the towing capacity of your vehicle, the type of tow (flatbed, dolly, or trailer), and legal requirements such as lighting and braking systems on the towed vehicle. Expect to pay anywhere from a few hundred to over a thousand AUD depending on the distance and service type if you hire professionals. Common issues when towing include:

• Overloading the tow vehicle
• Improper hitching
• Brake failure on the towed vehicle
• Legal non-compliance

Consult your vehicle's manual and local Australian road rules for specifics before you channel your inner truckie.
