Emergency Breakdown Towing
Breakdowns don’t always happen in a convenient place and sometimes, this can be dangerous. If you find yourself broken down on the side of a highway or on a major road at peak hour, you need to be moved to safety fast.
We take emergency breakdown towing seriously and you should too. In that situation, the best thing you can do is give Rudd’s Towing a call. We’ll have a truck nearby and we’ll have it sent to you as quickly as possible.
No matter what time of day, you’ll have a tow truck on the way to you in a matter of minutes. Your professional, experienced driver will have your vehicle loaded up and moved to safety in no time.
Never let a breakdown turn into something more serious!
We can tow any vehicle up to 7 tonne
With our fleet of trucks, we can tow any vehicle up to a maximum of 7 tonne. Even oversize loads are okay. No need for an expensive, specialized towing service to get your vehicle moved correctly.
Whatever the vehicle, if it’s under that weight limit we have the equipment and experience to get it loaded up and moved safely every time.
Tow trucks available around Brisbane 24/7
Along with inconvenient locations, emergency breakdowns can happen at inconvenient times too. We have trucks on the road around the clock so no matter what time or day you break down, we’ll get there fast.
If you are broken down in the early hours of the morning, we’ll do everything we can to help you through it. At the end of the day, we want to make sure you make it home safe and sound. Everything else can be dealt with later.

Have a trailer on the back? We can move that too!
If you were towing a trailer when you broke down, we can move that for you too. All of our trucks have a tow hitch so after your vehicle is on the back, it’s as simple as attaching the trailer and getting you out of there.
No waiting around in a dangerous position for friends or family to tow it for you. Better yet, there’s no additional cost involved.
Get two vehicles moved at once
If you don’t have a trailer attached, we can also use that second hitch to attach another vehicle. Sometimes a minor accident can leave two vehicles in a dangerous spot, unable to drive.
Give us a call straight away, let our team know the situation and we can send one truck to get you both moved in one trip. This saves you money and, more importantly, gets both of you out of there asap.
Emergency towing from highways and dangerous locations
Some of the most dangerous emergency situations we see are breakdowns on a highway or major intersection. If your vehicle is broken down around fast-moving traffic or in a location that isn’t easily visible to others, it’s a recipe for disaster.
You never know how much attention those drivers are paying to the world around them. The faster we can get you out of that situation the better.
The good news is, this is something we deal with regularly. We have the knowledge and experience to deal with your emergency breakdown safely and efficiently.
We can organise assistance from the Traffic Response Unit
Some emergency breakdowns can be dangerous enough that additional assistance can sometimes be a good idea.
Especially if you’re broken down on the side of a busy highway, having Brisbane’s Traffic Response Unit on site is a must. They can park a large, visible barrier behind your vehicle while it’s loaded onto our tow truck.
This makes everything that much safer. Drivers are now more aware that you’re there and if someone is too busy checking their phone to see all the flashing lights, they’re hitting a protective barrier instead of you or your vehicle.
If required, this is something we can arrange for you quickly. This extra layer of safety comes at no additional cost and is available 24/7, just like our tow trucks.
Fast, reliable service
With a fleet of trucks covering everywhere from Caloundra to Brisbane, there’s always one nearby.
Insurance for peace of mind
With a Rudd’s tow truck, you know your vehicle is safe and protected. Your vehicle and equipment is covered by insurance while in transit.
Authorised police contractors
Had a bad experience with tow trucks in the past? Not with Rudd’s. We’re even authorised by QLD police!
Full insurance coverage for peace of mind
For that bit of added security, our trucks are completely covered by insurance. That means for the duration of the job, so is your vehicle.
While we take pride in everything we do, you can’t control those around you. Just in case that should happen, you can be safe knowing that you won’t be out of pocket no matter what happens.
Helpful info to provide for emergency towing
When you’re in an emergency situation, there are a few basic pieces of information we’ll need to get the right tow truck on the way asap. That includes:
- Your exact location
- How many vehicles require emergency towing
- The type of vehicle(s)
- What condition they’re in
This information will help our dispatchers send the nearest truck(s) and the most appropriate one for the job.
If you’re in an unfamiliar location, Google Maps or street signs are typically the fastest ways to get your bearings. Alternatively, if you can see any landmarks or local stores, we can piece it together for you.
We know all too well that you won’t always have spare time up your sleeve in an emergency so as long as you give us the basics, we can figure out the rest along the way.
