Broken down in Ireland
Getting your car home from Ireland
Ireland drives on the left, but unlike Northern Ireland it measures distances and speeds in kilometres. If you break down on a motorway, such as the M50 around Dublin or the M1 and M7 out of the capital, switch on your hazard lights, get out on the left-hand side and wait behind the barrier. Call 112 or 999 if you are in danger; both numbers work. A car from Ireland always comes back by ferry: across the Irish Sea to Great Britain and onwards, or directly to a French port. That is why we plan every job in advance and agree a collection time with you. If a local garage or recovery firm has already collected the car, send us that address. For immediate roadside help, call a local service first; we then arrange the transport to the Netherlands.

Safety first
Get safe first. Then call.
Broken down on the motorway: hazard lights on, high-visibility vest on, get out on the barrier side and wait behind the crash barrier. Call 112 in an emergency, then +31 6 14 68 70 30.
Hazard lights on
Switch on your hazard lights straight away and, if you still can, pull over as far right as possible: the hard shoulder or an emergency lay-by.
Vest on, exit on the safe side
Put on a high-visibility vest before you get out and leave the car on the barrier side. Don't leave anyone inside.
Wait behind the barrier
Everyone waits behind the crash barrier, well away from the car.
Call 112 in danger
Car in a live lane, smoke or fire, or anyone hurt? Call 112. Then call or WhatsApp us on +31 6 14 68 70 30.
Frequently asked questions
Questions about towing in Ireland
Straight answers. Question not listed? Call +31 6 14 68 70 30.
How does a car from Ireland get to the Netherlands?
By ferry, via Great Britain or directly to France, and then by road. We choose the route based on where the car is and agree the price for the whole trip in advance.
Is a car bought in Ireland an import from outside the EU, like one from the UK?
No, Ireland is an EU member. If the transport goes via Great Britain, there may be customs formalities on the crossing; we agree those with you beforehand. You arrange the registration in the Netherlands yourself through the RDW.
How much does it cost to bring my car from Ireland to the Netherlands?
That depends on where in Ireland the car is, the destination and the state of the car. You get one fixed price for the whole trip upfront; we agree it before we set off and nothing is added afterwards.
Can I call or WhatsApp you from Ireland?
Yes. Call or WhatsApp +31 6 14 68 70 30, 24 hours a day, every day. On WhatsApp, ideally send your location or the address of the garage or recovery yard where the car is.
How long until my car is back in the Netherlands from Ireland?
That depends on the distance and the planning. We tell you honestly when we agree the price; we never promise times we cannot keep.
Do I need a membership to have my car collected from Ireland?
No. You don't need to be a member of any breakdown organisation. You get one fixed price for this trip upfront and pay only for that trip.
