Your Ultimate Guide to Roadside Assistance in Malta

The sun ☀️ is shining, and you’re on your way to a meeting in Sliema 🛍️, heading for a day at Golden Bay 🏖️, or just trying to get home 🏠 to Mosta. Then it happens. The sputter 🚗 💨. The stall. The dreaded dashboard light ⚠️.

A car breakdown is more than just an inconvenience. On Malta's busy and winding roads, it can be a stressful and genuinely hazardous situation. Whether you're a local resident navigating the daily commute or a visitor exploring the islands 🏝️, knowing who to call can turn a crisis into a calm, managed solution. That’s where we come in. As Malta’s trusted roadside assistance and towing provider, we’re not just a service; we’re your 24/7 roadside partner.

Why Do Cars Break Down in Malta? (And How We Fix It)

Even the most well-maintained vehicle can have a bad day. From the humid sea air to the stop-start traffic, Maltese roads present unique challenges. Here are the most common culprits we see:

1. 🔋 The Flat Battery: This is the number one reason for call-outs, especially during the cooler winter mornings. You turn the key, and... nothing.

3. Our Solution: We’ll be with you fast to provide a professional battery jump-start. If your battery is beyond saving, we can often advise on or assist with a replacement on the spot.




4. 🛞 Tyre Troubles: Potholes on minor roads or picking up a stray nail is all it takes. A flat tyre can bring your journey to an abrupt halt.

6. Our Solution: Don't struggle with a wobbly jack on an uneven shoulder. Our team will safely and quickly change your flat tyre with your spare, getting you back on your way in minutes.




7. 💨 Engine Overheating: Getting stuck in summer traffic around St. Julian's or climbing a steep hill can sometimes be too much for a car's cooling system.

9. Our Solution: Driving an overheated car can cause catastrophic engine damage. Pull over immediately (if safe) and call us. We will tow your vehicle to your preferred mechanic to prevent a costly repair from becoming a total write-off.




10. 💥🚗 Accidents & Collisions: Unfortunately, accidents happen. The aftermath can be disorienting and stressful.

12. Our Solution: Your safety is the priority. Once you’ve ensured everyone is safe and the authorities (if needed) are called, phone us. We provide 24/7 accident recovery to safely clear your vehicle from the road and transport it to a secure location or repair shop.

Safety First: What to Do if You Break Down on a Maltese Road

If your car fails, your priority is safety. Follow these steps:

1. Get to a 🦺 Safe Place: As soon as you sense trouble, signal and try to pull over to the far left, ideally onto a hard shoulder, a lay-by, or a quiet side street. Avoid stopping on a bend or just over the crest of a hill.

   
   

2. Be Visible: Turn on your hazard lights immediately.

   
   

3. Use Your ⚠️ Warning Triangle: Place your reflective warning triangle at least 45 metres (about 50 paces) behind your vehicle to warn oncoming traffic.

   
   

4. Exit Safely: If you are on a busy road, exit the vehicle from the left-hand side (passenger side), away from the traffic.

   
   

5. Find a Safe Spot: Move yourself and all passengers away from the vehicle and stand behind a barrier or well up on the verge, far from the moving traffic. Never wait inside your car on a busy road or motorway.

   
   

6. Call for Help: Once you are in a safe location, 📞 call us. Our 24/7 dispatch team will take your location and details and send a truck to you immediately.
