Towing service

Towing from private land – ordered via app, free for you

Anyone blocking your space is interfering with your possession (§ 858 BGB), so as a rule you may have the car towed. Our partner network across Germany arrives in an average of 20 Minutes, with GPS tracking and photo documentation.

Process

Report via app, towing by our partners – no need to wait on site.

  1. Capture the plate.

    Open the app or use the QR code on the sign and type in the plate of the blocking vehicle.

  2. Photo as evidence.

    A photo with a legible plate and the parking situation later proves the tow was justified.

  3. Pin the spot via GPS.

    The app picks up the location automatically; one tap confirms it, showing the vehicle stood on private land.

  4. Billing & enforcement.

    The contractual penalty is created and sent; if the offender doesn't pay, collection follows.

FAQ

Towing from private land, explained.

  • What do I pay as the property owner?

    Nothing – as a rule the offender pays (BGH V ZR 144/08).

  • May I have cars towed from private land?

    As a rule, yes: it interferes with your possession (§§ 858, 859 BGB). Public streets are a matter for the Ordnungsamt.

  • How fast does the tow truck arrive?

    Our partner network reaches your property in an average of 20 Minutes.

  • What happens after the tow?

    So that the keeper can find the car, the police are informed in line with local practice. The vehicle goes to a secure storage site and every step is documented. It is released only to an authorised person with proof. Payment is made on site or by invoice within 30 days; recoverable costs are those at the usual local rate (BGH V ZR 229/13). All records are in the app.

  • Do I need to be there for the tow?

    No. You report via the app; we and our partners do the rest.
