Car park recovery & removal
A vehicle stuck in a car park needs a different approach.
A car may need to be recovered from a car park because it has broken down, will not start or cannot be driven safely. Property owners and managers may also need to discuss the removal of a vehicle that is blocking access or needs to be moved from their property.
Car parks can also have barriers, height limits, ramps, gates and restricted access. Tell FTS about these conditions when you call so the job can be assessed before a recovery or removal is arranged.

Car park vehicle recovery and removal situations
The circumstances can vary considerably. The first step is to explain where the vehicle is, its condition and why it needs to be moved.
Broken-down cars
A vehicle can break down before leaving a car park, leaving the driver needing recovery rather than roadside assistance alone.
Vehicles blocking access
Property owners or managers can contact FTS to discuss a vehicle that is obstructing access or causing a problem on their property.
Residential car parks
Vehicle removal enquiries can arise in apartment developments, residential parking areas and other privately managed spaces.
Commercial car parks
Businesses and property managers may need to discuss moving a vehicle from a commercial parking area or other private premises.
Restricted access
Height limits, gates, barriers, ramps and the position of the vehicle can affect a recovery. Give us these details before the job is arranged.
For motorists
Is your own car stuck in a car park?
If your vehicle will not start or cannot be driven out of a car park, call FTS and explain what has happened.
Tell us where the car is parked and whether it starts, rolls and steers. It is also important to mention barriers, height restrictions, narrow entrances, steep ramps or other access conditions.
If the problem happened because the vehicle broke down, you can also read about our breakdown recovery service in Dublin .
Tell us before we attend
- Vehicle make and model
- Exact car park location
- Level or parking-space location if relevant
- Whether the vehicle starts
- Whether the vehicle rolls and steers
- Any height restriction
- Barriers, gates, ramps or restricted entrances
- Where the vehicle needs to go
Property owners & managers
Need to discuss a vehicle on private property?
If you own or manage a property and a vehicle needs to be moved, contact FTS with the details before arranging anything.
Explain where the vehicle is, why removal is being requested, your connection to the property and any relevant access conditions. We can then discuss the practical requirements of the vehicle movement.
Authority to request removal
FTS does not determine ownership rights or parking disputes. If you are requesting the removal of a vehicle that is not your own, you should be satisfied that you have the appropriate authority to request the vehicle movement before the job is arranged.
Car park access
Tell us about the car park before we arrive.
A recovery from an open surface car park can be very different from a vehicle positioned inside a restricted or multi-level parking area.
- Entrance height restrictions
- Entry and exit barriers
- Locked or controlled gates
- Narrow entrances or turning areas
- Ramps or multiple parking levels
- Vehicle position within the parking space
- Whether the vehicle can roll and steer

Which service?
Car park vehicle removal or general towing?
Both services involve moving vehicles, but a car park can introduce access, parking and property-management considerations that are not present in a standard towing job.
Car Park Vehicle Removal
Appropriate when the vehicle is positioned in a car park or private-property setting where access conditions, parking position or authority to request movement may need to be considered.
Discuss vehicle removal →General Towing
If you simply need your car or van moved from one accessible location to another, our general Dublin towing service may be the more relevant service.

Car park removal questions
What you may need to know
Can you recover a car that won't start in a car park?
Contact FTS with the vehicle make and model, exact location and information about the car park access. Tell us whether the vehicle starts, rolls and steers so the recovery can be assessed.
Can you remove a vehicle from private property?
Property owners and managers can contact FTS to discuss a vehicle-removal requirement. If the vehicle is not yours, explain your connection to the property and the circumstances when calling. The person requesting removal should have the appropriate authority to do so.
What if a vehicle is blocking a parking space or access?
If you own or manage the property, call FTS and explain where the vehicle is, what it is blocking and why removal is being requested. The circumstances and practical requirements can then be discussed.
Can you recover vehicles from underground car parks?
Underground and restricted car parks can have height limits, ramps and access conditions that affect vehicle recovery. Call with the exact location and access information so FTS can assess the situation rather than assuming every car park can be accessed.
What information should I provide about the car park?
Tell us the address or Eircode, where the vehicle is positioned and whether there are height restrictions, barriers, gates, ramps or narrow access points.
Where can the vehicle be taken?
Tell FTS the intended destination when arranging the job. Depending on the circumstances, this may be a garage, home or another agreed suitable location.
How much does car park vehicle removal cost?
The price depends on the vehicle, location, destination, access conditions and the requirements of the job. Provide these details when calling so the price can be discussed before the job is agreed.
