Flat Tire Emergency Guide
What UAE drivers should do after a flat tire, when to change it, and when to request roadside assistance or towing.
Quick safety steps
Move the vehicle away from traffic if it is safe, switch on hazard lights, keep passengers behind a barrier where possible, and share an accurate location with the recovery provider. In an accident or highway emergency, follow UAE authority instructions before arranging towing.
When to request recovery
Request car recovery when the vehicle cannot be driven safely, has warning lights after an incident, suffers battery or tire failure in a risky location, or needs flatbed transport to protect a premium, electric, or low-clearance vehicle.
What to prepare
Have your exact pickup point, vehicle model, problem description, preferred destination, and contact number ready. Photos of the vehicle position can help the provider choose the right tow truck and recovery equipment.
