Right after a crash in Omaha
- Check for injuries and call 911 if anyone's hurtPolice and medics come first. Towing comes after the scene is safe.
- Move out of traffic if you canIf the car drives and no one's hurt, get to the shoulder or a parking lot.
- Photograph everythingBoth cars, plates, the road, and the other driver's insurance card.
- Request a tow you chooseUnless police order a specific tow, you can choose who tows your vehicle and where it goes.
Your choice of tow, your choice of shop
If police are clearing a blocked road they may call a contracted tow, and that vehicle can end up at the city impound lot with daily storage fees. When you're able to choose, you can have your vehicle taken straight to your home or body shop instead. If the shop can't take it yet, we can hold it in vehicle storage until they can. See car towed in Omaha? if yours was already taken to impound.

Dealing with insurance
Many auto policies cover towing after a collision, and some reimburse you if you pay up front. Keep the receipt and the photos. You choose where your vehicle goes. If you're unsure where to take your vehicle, we can recommend several quality shops that stand behind their work. Not sure what's covered? Our towing prices page covers insurance questions.
Commercial and fleet accidents
Box trucks, work vans and semis involved in collisions need bigger equipment. See heavy-duty towing.
