Towing companies in Quebec

The rules that protect you

In Quebec, towing on several Montreal-area expressways is handled by exclusive contractors - if you break down on parts of the Métropolitaine, Décarie or Ville-Marie, the designated tow assigned to that stretch will respond, and its rates are set by contract. Elsewhere you choose your own operator. Montreal enforces aggressive winter towing during snow-clearing operations: orange temporary signs override everything, and thousands of cars are relocated per storm. Always photograph where you parked during snow season.

Broken down on the highway

On autoroutes, pull fully onto the shoulder, hazards on, and get behind the guardrail. On exclusive-contract segments in Montreal, the assigned tow will come to you - you don't need to call one. Elsewhere, call your own operator or your roadside plan (CAA-Québec: *222).

What it should cost

Typical rates run $85–$125 hook-up plus $3–$4.50/km. On contracted expressway segments the rate is fixed by the contract and posted. Most Quebec operators quote in French first - every French-language listing on this site is marked, and many operators are fully bilingual.

Winter

Montreal and Quebec City relocate cars en masse during déneigement. If your car vanishes in a snowstorm, it was probably towed a few streets over, not stolen - call 311 (Montreal) or check the city's Info-Remorquage tool before reporting theft.
