A ministerial decree published on December 8, 2025 has set the new rates for roadside and towing operations for vehicles on motorways and expressways. The decree is available for download at the end of this news. More details will be available in the next LDM, The Towing Magazine n°105.

LDM, The Towing Magazine reminds us that only professionals approved by the public authorities can intervene on motorways and expressways. This is why their rates are set by a decree of the French Ministry of the Economy each year.

From  January 1, 2026, the flat rate for on-site roadside assistance for a vehicle weighing 0 to 3.499 t will increase from €148.67 to €151,00.

The price of towing a vehicle with a GVW between 0 and 1.8 t increases from €148.67 to €151.

The price of towing a vehicle with a GVW between 1.8 t and 3.499 t increases from €183.83 to €186,72.

All these prices are increased by 50% between 6 p.m. and 8 a.m. on weekdays as well as Saturdays, Sundays and public holidays (regardless of the time of call).

Please note that from 3.5 t GVW and above, the pricing is at the discretion of the towing company. The intervention is considered as a HD Vehicle towing.
