In short
You don’t need a membership to get help. Call a towing company directly, give your location and ask for the price before they set off. In Bremen you can reach us around the clock on 0162 74 74 780.
In short
Breakdown help isn’t only for club members. Any towing company will help you without a membership too. You then pay for the call-out yourself, so you should ask for the price beforehand.
You are a member of the ADAC or another club
Then call them first. The number is on your membership card or in your club’s app. If you book a towing company yourself, the reimbursement is often limited.
We are an independent Bremen business and not part of the ADAC.
You have breakdown cover (Schutzbrief)
Many car insurers offer breakdown cover (Schutzbrief). Here too, call the emergency centre first. It will tell you which costs are covered.
You have neither a club nor breakdown cover (Schutzbrief)
Call directly. This is what to clear up on the phone:
- Where you are, ideally as a location via WhatsApp
- What is wrong with the car
- What the job costs
- When the tow truck can be with you
Keep the invoice
Keep the invoice. After an accident or with breakdown cover (Schutzbrief) you can submit it. Whether and how much is reimbursed is for the insurer to decide.
