Emergency Towing

Emergency towing in New Orleans. One call. Any hour.

When a tire blows on the Pontchartrain Expressway at 2 a.m. or your engine quits in a French Quarter hotel garage, the last thing you need is a two-hour wait for a driver who might not show. Quick Tow New Orleans takes calls 24/7 and matches you with a licensed operator working Orleans, Jefferson, and St. Bernard parishes. Ask the operator for the total before you agree.

What do drivers ask about Emergency Towing?

How much does an emergency tow cost in New Orleans?

Emergency tow price tracks distance and vehicle size. Ask for the total before you say yes, and ask how night and Mardi Gras-season calls are priced. Heavy-duty and long-distance jobs get a separate written quote.

What happens after I call?

Tell us where you are, what the vehicle is, and what it is doing. We match you with a licensed operator covering that part of the metro, and that operator gives you the price and the wait before the truck rolls. Orleans Core and Jefferson East Bank sit closer in than St. Bernard, the River Parishes, or the Northshore across the Causeway, so say exactly where you are.

What happens if I break down on the Causeway?

If you are on the Causeway, call *27 or Causeway Police at (504) 835-3116 first so they can get you off the live lane. After you are in a Crossover or Safety Bay, call (504) 474-5530. We then match you with an operator working the Metairie or Mandeville end to finish the recovery off the bridge deck. Ask that operator for the total before you agree. Do not stand in the lane to flag anyone down.

Will you come to I-10, the Westbank Expressway, or the Causeway?

Yes. I-10 through Kenner, Metairie, downtown, and out to the Twin Span, the Crescent City Connection and Westbank Expressway, I-610, I-510 toward Chalmette, and the Causeway between Metairie and Mandeville: we match you with operators who work those corridors. If a state or local officer already directed the removal, tell us that. For a private call on a shoulder, we match you with an operator directly.

Should I call my insurer or motor club first?

If you carry roadside coverage through an insurer or a motor club, call them first so the tow goes on their tab - they dispatch from their own operator network. If you have no coverage, or their wait is too long, call us and we match you with a local operator who bills you for the job directly.
