When flatbed towing is the right choice

Flatbed towing loads your vehicle completely onto the truck bed – all four wheels off the ground. This is the safest method for vehicles that have been in a collision, have drivetrain or suspension damage, are all-wheel drive, or are low-clearance sports or luxury cars.

Unlike hook-and-chain or wheel-lift towing, flatbed transport eliminates the risk of additional damage during the haul. For post-collision vehicles especially, it is the method we recommend and use by default.

  • Post-collision vehicles with structural or drivetrain damage.
  • All-wheel drive and four-wheel drive vehicles.
  • Low-clearance sports cars, luxury vehicles, and exotics.
  • Non-running vehicles that cannot be steered or braked.
  • Long-distance transport where stability over the full route matters.

FAQ

Flatbed towing questions

Is flatbed towing more expensive than regular towing?

Flatbed towing may cost slightly more than wheel-lift towing, but it is the safest method for most vehicles – especially after a collision. For post-accident jobs, the cost is typically covered by your insurance. Call us for a quote before you commit.

Do all-wheel drive vehicles need flatbed towing?

Yes. AWD and 4WD vehicles should always be transported on a flatbed. Towing them with only two wheels on the ground can damage the drivetrain. OnPoint Towing uses flatbed equipment for all AWD and 4WD vehicles as standard practice.

Can you flatbed tow a vehicle that will not start?

Yes. Flatbed towing is ideal for non-running vehicles because the truck does all the work – your vehicle does not need to roll, steer, or brake. We load it safely and transport it to your chosen destination.
