Broken down in Switzerland
Getting your car home from Switzerland
Switzerland sits on the E35, the route from the Netherlands through Germany to Basel and on over the Gotthard into Italy. If you break down on the Autobahn, switch on your hazard lights, place the warning triangle and wait behind the crash barrier. There are emergency phones along the motorway, and 112 works too. If a local firm has towed your car away, it is usually at a garage nearby, and we collect it there. Keep in mind that Switzerland is not in the EU. Customs are involved when a car crosses the border, so keep the registration document and any purchase papers to hand. If you bought a car in Switzerland, you arrange the import into the Netherlands yourself and we handle the transport. Tell us the canton, the town and the road, or share your location on WhatsApp.

Safety first
Get safe first. Then call.
Broken down on the motorway: hazard lights on, high-visibility vest on, get out on the barrier side and wait behind the crash barrier. Call 112 in an emergency, then +31 6 14 68 70 30.
Hazard lights on
Switch on your hazard lights straight away and, if you still can, pull over as far right as possible: the hard shoulder or an emergency lay-by.
Vest on, exit on the safe side
Put on a high-visibility vest before you get out and leave the car on the barrier side. Don't leave anyone inside.
Wait behind the barrier
Everyone waits behind the crash barrier, well away from the car.
Call 112 in danger
Car in a live lane, smoke or fire, or anyone hurt? Call 112. Then call or WhatsApp us on +31 6 14 68 70 30.
Frequently asked questions
Questions about towing in Switzerland
Straight answers. Question not listed? Call +31 6 14 68 70 30.
Can you collect a car I bought in Switzerland?
Yes. We collect the car from the seller and load it onto our flatbed. Because Switzerland is outside the EU, customs paperwork is needed. Ask the seller for the export documents; you then arrange the import into the Netherlands yourself.
My car broke down near a tunnel and was towed away. How do I find it?
After a breakdown in or near a tunnel, a local recovery firm usually removes the car. Ask the police or that firm where it was taken and send us the address; we collect it from there.
How much does it cost to bring my car from Switzerland to the Netherlands?
That depends on where in Switzerland the car is, the destination and the state of the car. You get one fixed price for the whole trip upfront; we agree it before we set off and nothing is added afterwards.
Can I call or WhatsApp you from Switzerland?
Yes. Call or WhatsApp +31 6 14 68 70 30, 24 hours a day, every day. On WhatsApp, ideally send your location or the address of the garage or recovery yard where the car is.
How long until my car is back in the Netherlands from Switzerland?
That depends on the distance and the planning. We tell you honestly when we agree the price; we never promise times we cannot keep.
Do I need a membership to have my car collected from Switzerland?
No. You don't need to be a member of any breakdown organisation. You get one fixed price for this trip upfront and pay only for that trip.
