Can a tow truck take my car to my house?
Yes. A tow company can take your car to your home just as easily as to a shop. Tell dispatch the full address, any gate or access code, where you want the car set down, and what you drive, so the right truck comes and the car ends up exactly where you want it.
What to tell dispatch
- Pickup location and drop-off address, including unit number and any gate code.
- Where to set it: driveway, garage, curb. Tell us if the driveway is steep or the street is narrow.
- What you drive. All-wheel-drive cars should ride on a flatbed, not be pulled on two wheels, and lowered cars need a flatbed so they do not scrape.
- Whether the car rolls and steers, and whether you have the keys.
- Whether someone will be at the house when the truck arrives.
Check your street and HOA rules
Many cities and HOAs limit how long a car that does not run can sit on the street or in a driveway. If the car is going to sit a while before it gets fixed, check your city and HOA rules first so it does not get ticketed or towed again.
Common reasons people tow home
Picking up a car after it was released from impound, bringing a car home after a breakdown to decide where to fix it, moving a project car, or bringing a car home from the shop when it is not safe to drive.

Common questions
Can I have my car towed to my house instead of a shop?
Yes. The drop-off can be your home, a body shop, a mechanic, or the dealer. Give dispatch the full address and where you want the car set down.
Do I need to be home when the tow truck drops off my car?
Not always, but it helps, especially if there is a gate or you want the car in a specific spot. Tell dispatch ahead of time if no one will be there.
What kind of tow truck do I need for an AWD or lowered car?
A flatbed. An all-wheel-drive car should never be pulled on two wheels, and a lowered car will scrape on a wheel-lift tow. Tell dispatch what you drive and the right truck comes the first time.
