VicRoads Accident Towing

Note: It is illegal to tow an accident damaged vehicle from an accident scene without a TOW licence—penalties apply.


An accident damaged vehicle must be moved so that it does not cause a road safety hazard. If your vehicle cannot be driven from the scene, arrangements must be made to have the vehicle towed.


Only certain tow trucks are permitted to tow a vehicle involved at an accident scene. These tow trucks will have ‘TOW’ or ‘HTT’ (heavy vehicles only) number plates.


The drivers, operators and depot managers of these tow trucks must be accredited.


Accreditation ensures that the person providing crash towing services is technically competent, of appropriate character, acts with integrity and provides a safe, efficient and timely service.


An accident allocation system operates for light vehicles (vehicles with a gross vehicle mass of less than four tonnes) involved in an accident in the Geelong Area (self-management area of Geelong).


The Allocation Centre is responsible for arranging a tow truck to tow your vehicle. Please call (03) 5277 1758. The driver of the tow truck will also be issued with an allocation number.


There is no Accident Allocation Centre for heavy vehicles or light vehicles needing a tow truck in regional and rural Victoria, so if you require a tow truck throughout the Bellarine and Surf Coast, please call 0408 613 004.

The Importance of Insurance

Put simply, having no Insurance is asking for financial ruin. While some believe that Insurance is way to expensive, the costs associated with having an accident when your at fault could lead into the hundreds of thousands of dollars.


We believe that Car Insurance is imperative as it can be tailored to cover Physical Damage Repairs. In other words, damage that has been caused by you in the unlikely event of you having an incident. We always suggest Comprehensive Car insurance as this type of policy will pay to repair or replace the market value of your vehicle after an accident. It also covers your towing and salvage expenses and as a vehicle is often most people’s second largest major expense, you want to protect it.


Comprehensive cover also covers expenses to other vehicles, buildings, mailboxes, light power poles and any other non-living object. A excess deductible is often required to be paid before getting your repaired vehicle back. Comprehensive coverage most often comes into play when you are at fault or do not know who damaged your vehicle.
