Roadside assistance in the Philippines: towing prices and plans

Updated 4 November 2026

Approximately, according to sellers' websites and motoring club rules, November 2026, a towing call can cost ₱3,400 for the first five kilometres and ₱150 for each extra kilometre. Some car brand plans cover towing up to ₱5,000 per event and crane recovery up to ₱8,000. To compare options for your car, send a request on BlaBlaPrice.

Plan rules and what they include

Roadside plans usually list towing, flat tyres, battery boosting, lockout help and emergency fuel, but limits apply per event. One roadside plan in the Philippines lists towing up to ₱5,500 per event. Free 24/7 service is often limited to eligible vehicles, and extra charges such as toll fees and parking may apply on top. Read the plan before you rely on it, and check whether your car model is covered.

Season and flooded streets

The Philippines has a wet and a dry season instead of winter and summer. In November, rain can flood low roads, and a car stopped in water needs towing rather than a jump-start. Ask the provider whether towing from a flooded street is covered, and keep the emergency number saved in the phone so help can come quickly.

How it is priced and charged here

Towing is quoted per call, with a fee for the first five kilometres and a per-kilometre rate after that, so the distance decides much of the price. Ask how the distance is measured. Ask for the total price before the tow truck is dispatched, and ask whether a plan or a single call is cheaper for your car.

What to write in your request

Say what happened, such as a flat tyre, a flat battery or a breakdown, and where the car is now. Add the time you need help, the car make and model, and whether the car can be moved. Mention whether the site is safe, if the car is on a highway or a flooded street, and what you need to bring. Add your budget, so sellers can answer with a price for that trip.
