How to use Korea Expressway Corporation free towing
Since 2005, Korea Expressway Corporation has been providing free towing on highways as a free service. In the event of an accident, immediately call the Korea Expressway Corporation call center at 1588-2504. You can quickly tow to a nearby sales office using a towing wrecker dispatched free of charge.
However, you should be aware that this service does not tow to the desired repair shop like the private towing service. It supports free towing from the accident point to a nearby safety zone (tollgate, rest area, sleepy rest area, etc.). After moving to a safe place, calling the insurance company there is the most reasonable way in terms of cost and risk.
In addition, if necessary, a safety management vehicle from the highway patrol will be dispatched at the same time as a telephone report, so it will be more efficient than using a general towing vehicle. This system is implemented in most privately-invested highways.
Vehicles subject to free towing, excluded vehicles
Korea Expressway Corporation’s 2504 emergency towing service is a system for small vehicles that are concerned about secondary accidents. Therefore, only passenger vehicles, vans with 16 passengers or less, and trucks with a capacity of 1.4 tons or less can use the service. Please note that large trucks or large buses cannot be used.
