What Is Accident Recovery
Towing in Calgary?
Accident recovery towing is the safe removal and transport of a vehicle after a collision. It requires more care than a standard tow, since the vehicle may not roll safely and the scene itself can carry hazards like traffic, fluid leaks, or debris.
Full Pull Towing & Recovery dispatches flatbed trucks for collision recovery specifically because flatbeds move damaged vehicles without forcing weight onto a bent axle, a damaged wheel, or a locked steering column. Every operator is trained to assess a scene for hazards before loading begins.
This page covers exactly what to do after a crash, what affects cost, how insurance and towing interact, and how to choose a company you can trust at an already stressful moment.

What Affects Accident Recovery
Cost in Calgary?
We don't publish a flat rate because no two collisions are the same. Here is exactly what goes into your quote, confirmed before any truck is dispatched.
Vehicle Condition
A vehicle that can't roll needs a winch and flatbed, which takes more time than a standard hookup.
Scene Accessibility
A highway shoulder, ditch, or median is handled differently than a parking lot or driveway.
Distance
Distance to your chosen body shop, dealership, or storage location in Calgary or beyond.
Scene Complexity
Multi-vehicle accidents may need coordination with police or emergency services before recovery begins.
Time & Location
Late-night calls and highway accidents on routes like Deerfoot Trail can affect dispatch time.

Calgary Winter Collisions: Icy Road Recovery, 24/7
Full Pull Towing & Recovery is a Calgary-based accident recovery company with flatbed trucks on the road 24/7, built for the season when collisions spike hardest. Icy roads, whiteout snow, and sudden chinooks all raise the risk of a crash on Calgary streets and highways.
Deerfoot Trail, Stoney Trail, and Trans-Canada Highway 1 see the most winter collisions in Calgary. If you've been in a crash during a storm, stay inside your vehicle with hazard lights on and call us, rather than trying to move a damaged vehicle yourself on an icy shoulder, with no weather surcharges added to your bill.
On a highway shoulder in winter, staying buckled inside is often safer than standing next to traffic.
A vehicle with axle or wheel damage can shift unexpectedly. Wait for a flatbed and winch.
Visibility drops fast in snow. Hazards help other drivers see you and your vehicle in time.
Storm days bring more collisions citywide. Calling early gets you into the dispatch queue sooner.

The Complete Guide to
Accident Recovery in Calgary
Want the full picture before you call? Open the guide below to learn how accident recovery works, Alberta's accident laws, how insurance interacts with towing, and how to protect yourself at the scene.
Why Accident Recovery Is Its Own Kind of Towing
Full Pull Towing & Recovery is a Calgary, Alberta accident recovery towing company, licensed and insured, built around a simple fact: a vehicle involved in a collision needs different handling than a standard breakdown. It may not roll safely, it may be positioned in a hazardous location, and the driver involved is often dealing with a stressful, sometimes frightening situation.
That combination is why accident recovery exists as its own specialty within towing, not just a variation of a standard tow. Flatbed trucks and trained operators are the standard for a reason.
Alberta Accident Laws You Should Know
In Alberta, leaving the scene of an accident without stopping and exchanging information is illegal, even for a minor collision. Auto body shops are also restricted from performing collision repairs above a certain cost without a police-issued damage sticker confirming the accident was reported, so keeping your documentation matters well beyond the tow itself.
Since 2022, Alberta's Direct Compensation for Property Damage system means you typically claim vehicle damage through your own insurer for the portion of the accident that wasn't your fault, rather than pursuing the other driver's insurance directly.
How Insurance And Towing Interact
Many Alberta auto policies include some coverage for post-collision towing and short-term storage, though the details vary by provider and policy. Full Pull Towing & Recovery provides a clear, itemized receipt for every job specifically so you have what your insurer needs, whether you're being reimbursed or the towing is billed through your claim.
Handling Multi-Vehicle And Highway Accidents
Collisions on Deerfoot Trail, Stoney Trail, or other high-traffic Calgary routes often involve more than one vehicle and require coordination with police to manage traffic safely during recovery. Our operators are trained to assess these scenes for hazards, including fluid leaks and unstable debris, before beginning any recovery work.
Protecting Yourself From Predatory Towing
Some towing operators monitor emergency scanners and arrive at accident scenes uninvited. You are never obligated to use the first truck that shows up, and neither police nor property owners can force you to use a specific towing company. If a driver arrives unannounced and pressures you to sign paperwork immediately, you have the right to decline and call a company you trust instead.
