What to tell dispatch in Rancho Mirage

1. Your exact spot. For example: "southbound Bob Hope Drive at Gerald Ford Drive, right lane."
2. The vehicle: year, make, model, and whether it is front-, rear- or all-wheel drive or electric.
3. What happened, and whether the car starts, rolls and steers.
4. Where it needs to go: a repair shop, a dealership or your home.

Ask for an arrival time and the price before you agree. If you are on the I-10 or in a travel lane, get safe first, and call 911 if anyone is hurt.

Casino, shopping and hospital lots

Calls come from the Agua Caliente casino at Bob Hope Drive and Ramon Road, The River shopping center on Highway 111, and the Eisenhower Health campus on Bob Hope Drive. In any of those lots, give dispatch the lot and the nearest entrance or building so the driver goes straight to the car.

Gated country clubs

Much of Rancho Mirage is gated country clubs, such as Thunderbird, Mission Hills and Tamarisk.

Give dispatch the community name and the gate code, or the name of someone who can call the guard gate so the truck is expected. Some HOAs limit where a tow truck can park, so mention any rules you know about.

Low cars, classics and EVs

If you drive a low, classic or electric car, ask for a flatbed so every wheel stays off the road. For a Tesla or other EV, see EV towing before you call.
