Towing costs per km - these are the costs you have to expect

If your car breaks down and you have to call a towing service, this can quickly go into your wallet. Especially if you neither have a protection letter from the insurance nor are a member of an automobile club. In this case, you have to pay the towing costs yourself.

Towing costs for members of an automobile club

If you are a member of one of the numerous automobile clubs, you generally do not need to worry about towing costs in the event of a breakdown. These are included in the annual membership fee of ADAC (Allgemeiner Deutscher Automobil-Club), ACE (Auto Club Europa), AvD (Automobilclub von Deutschland) and many others.
  1. If you have broken down and need to be towed, the automobile club will normally only tow you to the nearest garage. So you can neither choose what kind of workshop should be approached nor can you have your car driven to your own front door.
  2. In many cases, the towing costs are completely covered by the automobile club. As a member of ADAC, for example, costs of a maximum of 300 euros are taken over for you.
  3. As with the costs, there is a maximum range for many clubs, so how far you are towed. At the ACE, this is 75 km domestically and 100 km abroad.

Calculate costs per km

If you have to pay the towing costs yourself, you can use the app "MySchleppApp" to compare the costs of different towing services. There is no uniform price per kilometer. Prices vary depending on the provider. For 10 km, for example, you have to reckon with an amount between 120 and 210 euros.
