Towing in Lismore
Lismore Towing Provider
TNT Towing offers vehicle towing services throughout Lismore and the surrounding region, supporting both residential and commercial customers with reliable, qualified service. Based in South Grafton and servicing the Northern Rivers, we’ve been operating for over 13 years and are fully licensed. Our team is NRMA-accredited and uses a modern fleet of tilt tray trucks to carry out vehicle relocations, breakdown recoveries and transport across town or between sites.
In an area like Lismore, where flooding and remote property access are common, having the right equipment and experience is critical. We assess each site on arrival to ensure safe access and plan loading procedures accordingly. Whether the vehicle is parked roadside, in a paddock or on a private driveway, we’ll manage the process using load-rated straps and compliant restraint systems.
We also provide transparent communication, so you're aware of what’s happening every step of the way. To arrange towing in Lismore, call TNT Towing on 0417 318 181.
Equipment, Methods & Coordination
When we complete a tow in Lismore, we start by confirming the exact location and access conditions, which helps us prepare the right truck and gear. Our tilt trays are suited to a wide range of vehicles, including utes, small trucks and trailers.
Once on site, the vehicle is loaded using winches or ramps depending on its condition and position. For vehicles that can’t roll or have locked wheels, we use additional equipment like skates or dollies to load safely. Our operators are trained to work within tight spaces or varied terrain, which is often the case across rural and low-lying areas of Lismore.
Clear handovers and written records are provided at drop-off, and we’ll communicate updates throughout if the job runs longer than expected. Every vehicle is secured using compliant, load-rated gear and moved according to current towing regulations. This process allows us to deliver a consistent, organised service that prioritises safety and customer clarity at every stage.
Can I ride in the tow truck with my vehicle?
In most cases, towing operators can accommodate one passenger in the truck’s cabin. This is usually limited to short distances and depends on safety policies, seat availability and the type of tow truck being used. Passengers are not typically allowed on long hauls or interstate tows due to insurance restrictions. It's a good idea to ask at the time of booking, especially if you’re in a remote location. For longer distances, alternate transport may be recommended.
What’s included in a standard towing quote?
A typical towing quote includes the call-out, vehicle loading, transport to a nominated address, and safe unloading. The quote may also factor in the vehicle’s condition, such as whether it's driveable or needs to be winched. Additional charges can apply for off-road recovery, traffic delays, after-hours pickup, or excess kilometres beyond a base radius. It’s important to request a detailed breakdown of fees, so there are no surprises. Confirming what's included helps avoid miscommunication on arrival.
Do I need to be present for the tow?
In many cases, the vehicle owner doesn’t need to be present if the vehicle is accessible and the keys are available. However, being there can speed up the process and help answer questions the driver may have. For locked, gated, or tricky access sites, it's often required. Some providers may ask for written or verbal consent if the owner can’t be on-site. Always confirm the requirements when booking to avoid delays.
