There are a handful of towing operators in the Bundaberg region. Here's what separates us from a phone number you found on a fence post.
24/7 doesn't mean "we have an answering machine that we check in the morning." It means a real person picks up the phone, dispatches a truck, and gives you an ETA. Every time. Midnight on a Tuesday, 4am on Christmas morning, Sunday afternoon during State of Origin — we're operational. If you call, someone answers. If you need a tow, a truck dispatches.
We quote over the phone before we send a truck. The price we quote is the price you pay. No "assessment fee" when we arrive, no inflated after-hours surcharges that weren't mentioned, no mysterious line items on the invoice. Towing is stressful enough — the last thing you need is a billing surprise on top of a breakdown.
We don't show up with the wrong equipment. If you're driving a lowered sports car, we bring a tilt tray that can load it without scraping. If your motorcycle needs towing, we bring proper tie-downs with soft loops. If you need a forklift moved from a farm in South Kolan to a warehouse in Bundaberg North, we bring a truck rated for the weight. Matching the equipment to the job means your vehicle or machinery arrives without damage.
We know that the roundabout at Takalvan Street and Bargara Road backs up at school pickup. We know the Bruce Highway stretch between Bundaberg and Gin Gin has limited mobile reception in patches. We know that the road to Moore Park Beach floods in heavy rain and that the sugar cane harvest season means slow-moving vehicles on rural roads near South Kolan and Oakwood. Knowing the region means faster response times and fewer surprises on arrival.
RACQ, NRMA, Suncorp, AAMI, Allianz, QBE, CGU, Youi, Bingle, Shannons, CommInsure, APIA, Vero, St George — we work with all of them. In most cases we can bill your insurer directly, so you don't pay out of pocket and wait for reimbursement. If you're in an accident and you're unsure what your policy covers, call us anyway — we can help you work through the process.
Bundaberg Coverage
Our service area covers all of Bundaberg's urban suburbs, the coastal communities from Bargara to Elliott Heads, the inland areas out to Gin Gin and Childers, and every highway, arterial road and rural road in between. If you can drive there, we can tow from there.
How It Works
Call 0451 252 501 any time, day or night. Tell us where you are (nearest cross street, landmark, or suburb), what vehicle you're driving, and what happened. If you're not sure what's wrong, that's fine — just describe what you're seeing and we'll figure it out.
Based on your vehicle type, location and situation, we dispatch the most appropriate truck from our fleet. For standard cars and utes, that's usually a tilt tray. For motorcycles, we bring specialist tie-down equipment. For machinery, we match the truck to the weight and dimensions. We give you an honest ETA over the phone — typically around 30 minutes for central Bundaberg suburbs, up to 45 minutes for outlying areas.
When we arrive, your vehicle is assessed, safely loaded, properly secured, and transported to your chosen destination. That might be your regular mechanic, a dealership, a panel shop, your home, or a secure storage facility. We don't push you toward any particular repairer — the choice is always yours. If you don't know a good mechanic in the area, we can suggest a few reputable ones, but we have no referral arrangements and no financial incentive to send you anywhere specific.
We drop your vehicle where you asked, hand you a receipt, and that's the end of it. If you're dealing with insurance, we provide all the documentation you need. If you need a ride somewhere after the drop-off, we'll do our best to accommodate — our trucks carry a passenger.
Pricing Transparency
We believe you should know what you're paying before we put your vehicle on the truck. Here's a general guide to towing costs in the Bundaberg region. Every job is quoted over the phone before dispatch.
A standard car or ute towed within Bundaberg's urban area (roughly a 15km radius from the CBD) typically costs between $100 and $200. This covers dispatch, loading, transport and unloading at your chosen destination.
We operate 24/7 and our pricing reflects that. Some operators charge significant premiums for after-hours work — we keep our pricing fair and consistent regardless of when you call. Any time-of-day pricing difference will be quoted clearly over the phone before we dispatch.
Tows beyond the standard urban area — for example, from Gin Gin to Bundaberg, or from Bundaberg to a specialist repairer in Hervey Bay or Gladstone — are priced based on distance. We'll give you a firm quote over the phone so you know exactly what you're paying.
If your tow is covered by insurance, we can typically bill your insurer directly. This means zero out-of-pocket cost to you in most cases. We work with every major insurer and handle the paperwork on our end.
Motorcycle towing is priced similarly to car towing for local jobs. Machinery transport varies based on the size, weight and distance involved — call us for a specific quote. We'll give you a price over the phone in most cases without needing to inspect first.

Towing in Bundaberg's Climate
Bundaberg sits in a subtropical climate zone with hot, humid summers and mild, dry winters. This climate puts specific stresses on vehicles that drivers in cooler parts of Australia simply don't face.
Battery degradation. High ambient temperatures accelerate the chemical degradation of car batteries. A battery that might last 4-5 years in Melbourne often fails in 2-3 years in Bundaberg. Dead batteries are our single most common call-out — particularly in the summer months from November to March.
Overheating. Sustained temperatures above 35°C combined with stop-start driving in Bundaberg's urban areas push cooling systems to their limits. Older vehicles, vehicles with marginal coolant levels, or vehicles towing trailers are particularly vulnerable. If your temperature gauge creeps past the halfway mark, pull over and call us — continuing to drive an overheating engine can cause catastrophic damage.
Flood and storm damage. The Bundaberg region is no stranger to flooding, with the Burnett River historically prone to significant flood events. After heavy rainfall, vehicles trapped in floodwater, vehicles that have been waterlogged, and vehicles that attempted flooded creek crossings all need professional recovery. We handle flood-related vehicle recovery and can transport water-damaged vehicles to assessors or storage facilities.
Cane season and rural roads. During the sugar cane harvest (typically June to November), the roads around Bundaberg carry heavy cane haul-out traffic. Slow-moving cane bins, narrow rural roads, and reduced visibility from cane burning can contribute to breakdowns and accidents on roads like the Isis Highway and Bundaberg-Gin Gin Road. We know these roads and we service them regularly.
Long-distance travel breakdowns. Bundaberg sits on the Bruce Highway between Brisbane (385km south) and Gladstone (160km north). Travellers making the long haul between Brisbane and Cairns — particularly in older vehicles, caravans or vehicles towing heavy loads — regularly break down in or near Bundaberg. We provide towing and recovery for travellers passing through as well as local residents.
