    Hi

    (Feel free to move if in wrong section)

    My car has broken down and I need to get it across town from Harolds Cross to Phibsboro to a garage.

    It's not driveable so am looking for a towing service / recovery truck etc to take her.

    Obviously it's a very short distance so I don't know if many companies would want to bother but just wondering if anyone on here can recommend someone reliable but reasonable please?

    Do you not have free breakdown with your insurance?

    No one with a car willing to pull a car with a rope in between?

    Wouldn't advise towing with a rope across city centre. There is too many cyclists pedestrians that could get in between both cars at the many traffic lights that would have to be negotiated.

    Not sure if it is still legal to tow a car with a rope that far.
    I think it might only be acceptable to tow car by rope a short distance to remove it from danager not as means to transport it across city centre

    open to correction on towing with a rope

    by far the best way to have it towed is by recovery truck

    Who would tow for a small fee? around 6 miles in total. Motorway then south of centre.

    The call-out charge will be the major component of the cost, I doubt if the distance matters too much - 2 miles or 12 miles probably makes sod all difference. So I can't see any tow truck operator refusing the business, they will quote a price, take it or leave it.
