Insurance towing is a slightly different category from a normal roadside tow. The vehicle is being moved to a place that the insurer will accept — usually a holding yard, an approved repairer or an assessment centre — and the paperwork from the operator needs to support the claim. The recommended operators here are familiar with the Townsville insurer and panel-beater landscape, can tow direct to the repairer on your policy, and can store the vehicle securely if your insurer needs a few days to assess. If you are being asked at an accident scene to authorise a tow by an operator you did not call, you do not have to — politely decline and call the company you actually want.
