Breakdown help in Rennes: getting the car going where it stands

Before anyone talks about towing, the professional sent out tries to restart the car where it is: a jump start, a wheel change, a small repair. Tell us what's happening; the price from our rate card shows online, or on the phone.

Your call-out price, online

Three answers (the problem, the place, the car) and the form shows a price including VAT, calculated from our rate card. Then book online, or ask to be rung back at no cost.

  • Price from our 2026 rate card, VAT included, valid for 30 minutes.
  • A €50 card deposit secures the booking and is deducted from the final bill; you pay the remainder on the day.
  • Or a free call back, with no commitment.
  • On a motorway such as the A84, only the approved operator for that stretch may come out: tick the box in the form and it tells you what to do.

What happened?

A town name is enough: the price depends on the distance.

On French motorways, only the tow company approved for that section may come out. Put on your safety vest, get behind the barrier, then call from an orange emergency phone (every 2 km on toll motorways) or dial 112: the fee is regulated.

Stopped on the Rennes ring road or another fast road and not sure what to tick? Call +33 7 56 81 76 21 and we'll tell you who may come out where you are. In danger, dial 112.

What can be done on the spot

Plenty of breakdowns end without a tow truck. A flat battery is jump-started and checked; a punctured wheel is swapped for the spare; a loose connection or a blown fuse is found and fixed. The professional sent to you has the gear for these jobs and tries them first.

When the fault needs a workshop (a broken engine, a jammed gearbox, a damaged wheel and no spare), the same call-out turns into a tow: the car goes onto a truck, bound for whichever garage you name, and the form prices that too.

In Rennes: where the car is matters

  • Underground car parks: most of them have a height limit that keeps a flatbed out. Tell us the car park's name, its level and the maximum height posted at the entry.
  • The old town: narrow streets, pedestrian areas and controlled access. Give the exact street and say if the car is blocking the way.
  • Rush hour: the ring road and its junctions are often saturated in the morning and the evening, and the estimated arrival time allows for it.
  • No address to hand? A metro station is an easy meeting point: line a runs from J.F. Kennedy to La Poterie, line b from Saint-Jacques-Gaîté to Cesson-Viasilva.

What to have ready

  1. Where you are: street and number, or a car park, a shop, a petrol station. On a main road, your direction and the last junction.
  2. The car: make, model, fuel or electric, manual or automatic, hire car or your own.
  3. What's happening, in plain words: "it clicks and won't start" is plenty.
  4. Where to drop the car, should it end up on a truck.

Nights, weekends, bank holidays

The line is open around the clock, every day of the year, and call-outs are arranged at night too, with a professional who is available in your area. Call-outs at dawn, in the evening or overnight carry a surcharge in our rate card; set "When?" in the form to "Later" with a date and time if you can wait, and the price for that slot shows before you book.

Hire car or breakdown cover?

With a hire car, ring the hire company's assistance line first: its contract usually decides who comes. The same goes if you have European breakdown cover through your insurer or a motoring club. If neither applies, or they can't help, you can book us directly, at the price of our rate card.

Your questions, answered

Can my car be repaired where it is?
Often, for a flat battery, a wheel to change or a minor electrical fault. A broken engine, a gearbox or accident damage usually mean a tow to a garage. The more precisely you describe the symptoms, the better the equipment that is sent.

My car is in an underground car park in Rennes. Is that a problem?
No, but say so straight away, giving the level and the maximum height posted at the entry. A jump start or a wheel change can usually be done in place; for a tow, the car sometimes has to be brought out with special equipment before it is loaded.

I've locked my keys in the car. Can you help?
Yes: opening a locked car is one of the jobs on our rate card. Choose it in the form, under the other needs, to see the price.
