What to Do After a Car Accident in Auckland
First - make sure everyone is safe. If there are injuries, call 111 immediately. Once safety is confirmed, here's what to do next:
- Move your vehicle off the road if it's safe and driveable to do so
- Turn on hazard lights and place warning triangles if you have them
- Call NZ Police on *555 if the accident involves injury or blocks traffic
- Take photos of the scene, damage, and the other vehicle's number plate
- Call your insurance company - or call WW Towing and we can assist with this
- Call WW Towing on 0800 499 869 - we'll take it from there
Our Accident Recovery Service - What's Included
Our accident recovery service goes beyond simply dragging your car onto a flatbed. We assess the damage on-site, secure the vehicle correctly to prevent further damage during transport, coordinate with Police if required, and transport your vehicle to your insurer's preferred repairer, your own panelbeater, or our secure storage facility.

- Serious crash recovery - including vehicles with front-end or undercarriage damage
- Multi-vehicle accident coordination with Police on busy roads and motorways
- Recovery of vehicles that have left the road - into banks, ditches, or paddocks
- Insurance liaison - we work directly with your insurer to confirm coverage
- Secure yard storage while your insurance claim is processed
Approved by NZ Police & Trusted by All Major Insurers
Not every towing company can say they're NZ Police approved - but WW Towing can. This approval means Police on Auckland roads trust us to attend accident scenes professionally, safely, and without causing further disruption.
We also work directly with State, AMI, AA Insurance, Vero, NZI, Lumley, Zurich, Tower, FMG, Star Insure, and more. If your insurer is one of these - and it likely is - we can confirm the job is covered before we even start moving.
