Help with blocked parking spaces – quick and easy

A blocked parking space can significantly disrupt your daily routine. We offer a fast, legally compliant solution to have illegally parked vehicles removed. Once you submit your request, we handle the entire process—from verification to towing. For you, this means: no hassle, no arguments, and an immediate solution.

How it works

  1. 1

    Send photos & location

    Document the illegally parked vehicle with at least two photos (front and rear), including the number plate. Send these to us via message or email, along with the location.

  2. 2

    We are on our way

    Once your request is received, one of our team members will be dispatched and is on their way.

  3. 3

    Towed professionally

    On-site, the vehicle will be towed professionally and without damage using state-of-the-art equipment. The entire process is properly documented and reported to the police.

Assignment of claims (Zession)

The Zession keeps it free for you

With the Zession you assign your claim against the illegal parker to us (Art. 164 CO). We collect the fees directly from the illegal parker – as a rule, there are no costs for you as the client.

Frequently asked questions

What does it cost me to have an illegally parked vehicle towed?

Generally nothing for you as the client. Through an assignment of claims (cession, Art. 164 CO) we collect the fees directly from the illegal parker – no financial risk and no administrative effort for you.

Am I allowed to have a vehicle towed from my private parking space?

Yes. As the owner, tenant, or authorised person, you have the right to have an illegally parked vehicle removed at any time. This also applies to property management companies, security services, or authorised representatives. The police are generally not responsible for towing vehicles on private land.

What do you need from me?

At least two photos of the vehicle (front and rear) including the number plate, plus the location – via WhatsApp, message, or email. Once your request is received, a team member is dispatched immediately.

How quickly can you be on-site?

Our team is available around the clock – including nights, weekends, and public holidays – and arrives on-site in the shortest possible time, usually in less than 30 minutes.

Will the illegal parker find out who placed the order?

No. Your data remains protected – for data protection reasons, your identity will not be disclosed. The illegal parker receives all necessary information via the police and can collect their vehicle from us at any time.

Will my insurance cover the costs of a breakdown?

We work with insurance providers such as AXA, Mobiliar, and Helvetia. If you are insured elsewhere, you will receive an insurance-compliant receipt that you can submit for reimbursement (provided your policy covers such services).
