## Breakdown on the Highway: Don't Do Just Anything!
Breaking down on the highway (A7, A50, A51 around Marseille) is stressful and dangerous. Unlike in the city, you cannot call just any tow truck.
### 1. The Golden Rule: Safety First
Before thinking about your car, think about your life.
- **Yellow Vest**: Put it on BEFORE getting out of the vehicle.
- **Exit via Passenger Side**: Never stay on the traffic side.
- **Go Behind the Guardrail**: It is the only safe place.
### 2. Towing is Regulated
On the highway, only **prefecture-approved tow trucks** can intervene.
- Do not try to call your cousin or a random tow service.
- Use the **orange emergency phones** (every 2km): it's the safest way to be geotagged.
- Or dial **112** if you cannot reach a phone.
### 3. How Much Does It Cost? (Regulated Rates 2024)
Rates are fixed by the State to avoid abuse:
- **Day Rate (8am-6pm, Mon-Fri)**: €148.67 incl. tax
- **Night, Weekend & Holiday Rate**: €223.01 incl. tax
These rates include towing to the nearest rest area or the tow truck's depot.
### And After the Toll?
Once off the highway, or on a national road, you are free to choose your tow service.
That's where **Dépanneuse 13** comes in! We can pick up your vehicle at the approved depot to take it to your chosen garage or your home.
