Routes and references
A precise location avoids delays
In this market, a local landmark, ZIP and travel direction help dispatch distinguish entrances, parking areas and road approaches. Share those details on the first call.
- Pickup point
- Address, ZIP and visible landmark
- Vehicle
- Make, model, condition and drivetrain
- Destination
- Shop, home or agreed destination
After dispatch
What to do while the unit is coming
Stay in a safe place, use hazard lights when appropriate and keep your phone available. If the location or vehicle condition changes, tell dispatch immediately so the equipment remains appropriate.
Downtown and Las Olas
City-block details matter after dark
Fort Lauderdale is not one uniform pickup area. A disabled car on Las Olas Boulevard, a hotel driveway near the river, and a vehicle in the Victoria Park street grid each need a different approach. Tell dispatch the nearest cross street and whether the vehicle is curbside, inside a garage, or behind a hotel entrance.
- Las Olas
- Share the block, venue or garage entrance rather than only the street name.
- Victoria Park
- Residential streets can have narrow staging space; describe the driveway or curb.
- Rio Vista Isles
- Confirm the bridge, gate or private-road access before the truck arrives.
Beach corridor
Beach parking, A1A and the barrier island
Calls near A1A, Fort Lauderdale Beach Park and the beachfront hotels often happen in structured parking or a busy curb lane. A photo or WhatsApp pin helps identify the correct entrance. If the car is in sand, soft shoulder or a restricted loading area, say so before dispatch; the loading plan changes with the surface and clearance.
Garage level or ramp
Give the level, lane and nearest elevator or gate.
Beachside shoulder
Stay clear of traffic and identify the closest safe pull-off.
Valet or entrance
Ask the attendant where a truck can stage without blocking guests.
Airport and terminals
Getting a disabled vehicle out of the FLL area
Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport has multiple terminals, garages and access roads. “At the airport” is not enough to route a driver. Include the terminal, garage name, level, row or rideshare zone and a callback number. If airport personnel direct the vehicle, tell us where the truck may legally meet you.
- Terminal
- Terminal number and arrivals or departures side
- Garage
- Garage name, level and nearest elevator
- Vehicle state
- Rolling, steering, locked or damaged
- Meeting point
- Safe curb or authorized staging area
I-95, I-595 and US-1
What to report on a Fort Lauderdale highway call
On I-95, I-595 or the approach to US-1, the nearest exit is more useful than a street address. Give direction of travel, lane or shoulder position, mile marker if visible, and whether anyone is still in the vehicle. Move away from live traffic when safe and wait behind a barrier if one is available.
Commercial calls
Work trucks, deliveries and tight loading areas
Downtown offices, marinas, restaurants and service businesses may have delivery windows, loading docks or height restrictions. Tell dispatch if a van, box truck or work vehicle is carrying equipment, if a dock must remain open, or if a property manager controls the gate. Those details prevent an unsuitable approach.
Access first
Share height, length and whether the truck can roll.
Clearance
Give the posted height before requesting a platform.
Staging
Identify the gate and the firm surface nearest the vehicle.
Local call playbook
Six Fort Lauderdale situations, six useful details
Lockout after dinner
Give the venue, block and side of the street. Keep valuables out of sight while waiting.
Battery in a public lot
Share lot name, row and whether another vehicle can reach the hood.
Collision on the shoulder
Give direction, exit and whether police or FHP are already present.
Car that will not start
Terminal, garage and level are the first three details to provide.
Vehicle in a driveway
Tell us if the wheels turn and whether the driveway slopes or narrows.
Vehicle near a marina
Give the marina name, gate instructions and firm access point.
Vehicle care
Describe the vehicle before we choose the load
A sedan with a dead battery, a low sports car outside a hotel, and an AWD SUV after a collision should not be described simply as “a car.” Make, model, drive type, wheel condition, steering and clearance help the dispatcher match a platform or roadside unit.
Safety before speed
What to do while the Fort Lauderdale truck is coming
Get out of live lanes
Only move the vehicle or yourself when it is safe; call emergency services first if anyone is hurt.
Mark the location
Use a landmark, sign, garage level or pin that the driver can actually see.
Keep access open
Do not block a gate or narrow entrance while waiting for the loading path.
Answer the phone
The driver may need one final detail about the approach or staging point.
Fort Lauderdale answers
Questions we hear around the city
Can you reach a hotel or garage near Las Olas?
Yes, when the access and staging point are suitable. Give the hotel, garage, level and entrance so dispatch can plan the approach.
What should I say if I am on I-95?
Give direction of travel, nearest exit, mile marker and shoulder position. Stay away from live traffic when safe.
Can you help at Fort Lauderdale airport?
Share the terminal, garage, level and authorized meeting point. Airport access can vary by lane and facility.
Do you handle low or luxury vehicles downtown?
Describe clearance, drivetrain and damage before dispatch so the loading method can be confirmed.
Can I get a jump start, tire change or fuel delivery in Fort Lauderdale?
Yes. Roadside units handle jump starts, tire changes, fuel delivery and lockouts across Fort Lauderdale – from Las Olas Boulevard and Fort Lauderdale Beach to Port Everglades and the FLL airport corridor. Describe the problem and the exact spot so the right unit is sent.
Do you send a tow truck or a wrecker near I-595 or the beach?
A tow truck, flatbed or wrecker-style vehicle recovery unit is matched to the job. On I-595 give direction and nearest exit; near the beach or A1A, give the access point and surface. Vehicle recovery from a shoulder, lot or soft shoulder is planned before the truck rolls.
Is there a towing company near downtown Fort Lauderdale or Las Olas?
Alexpress is the towing company dispatching near downtown and Las Olas from Sunrise. For towing near Fort Lauderdale, share the garage, valet lane or cross street – one-way blocks make the side of the road important.
Do you tow out of Las Olas and downtown Fort Lauderdale garages?
Yes. Give the garage name, level, row and posted clearance. Low-clearance vehicles may need the flatbed staged at the ramp exit rather than inside the structure.
Can you get a tow truck to Port Everglades or FLL airport?
Yes. Give the terminal number or letter, garage or lot name, level and row. During cruise or flight peaks, traffic control may assign a lane — ask staff where the truck can meet you.
Do you do jump starts and tire changes on the beach side?
Yes. Roadside units handle jump starts, tire changes, fuel delivery and lockouts along A1A, the hotel strip and the Intracoastal. Give the hotel entrance, valet lane or cross street.
Is Alexpress the towing company near Flagler Village and FATVillage?
Alexpress dispatches from Sunrise, about 8 miles out. For towing near Flagler Village or the arts district, give the lot, block or event access — event nights change which entrances a truck can use. Long-distance towing from Fort Lauderdale — a run to Orlando, Tampa or out of state — gets the same confirmed plan before the truck rolls.
A better first call
Location, condition, destination
Three details make a Fort Lauderdale dispatch materially easier: where the vehicle is, what condition it is in, and where it needs to go. Add the nearest local reference—Las Olas, FLL, A1A, I-95, Victoria Park or Rio Vista—and the driver can begin with a usable picture instead of a guess.
Las Olas after hours
Restaurants, galleries and hotels each have a different curb
A late-night lockout on Las Olas may happen outside a restaurant, beside a gallery, in a hotel valet lane or on a residential side street. Tell dispatch the nearest venue, block, side of the street and whether a valet attendant can direct the driver. Avoid standing between parked cars while waiting; choose a visible safe point and keep the phone available.
Front door or valet
Give the venue and the lane where a service unit can stop.
Share the entrance
Guest pickup area
Tell us whether valet or security controls the drive.
Confirm staging
Side street
Give the cross street and driveway side.
Mark the curb
River, marina and waterfront access
Waterfront properties can hide the usable entrance
Along the river, marinas and waterfront properties, the public address may lead to a pedestrian entrance while the vehicle sits at a service gate. Share the marina or property name, gate number, dock or parking area, and the firm surface nearest the vehicle. If a private gate needs an attendant, say so before dispatch.
- Property
- Marina, hotel, restaurant or residence
- Gate
- Public, service or private access
- Vehicle
- Location, condition and wheel movement
- Staging
- Firm surface where the truck can wait

The more specific the first call, the less time the driver spends looking for the correct entrance.
Neighborhoods and districts
Every Fort Lauderdale district has its own pickup pattern
Las Olas Boulevard and downtown bring garage, valet and loading-lane calls where the exact entrance decides the approach. Victoria Park, Rio Vista and the isle neighborhoods are residential grids where a canal-side street, a gate or a low-hanging canopy narrows the options. Flagler Village and the FATVillage arts area mix lofts, breweries and event crowds that fill surface lots fast.
On the beach side, A1A and the Intracoastal corridors produce hotel, resort and marina calls with valet lanes and service roads behind the sand. Tell dispatch which world the vehicle sits in — then give the building, the cross street or the gate that turns it into a point.
- Las Olas / Downtown
- Garage level, valet lane, loading dock or cross street.
- Victoria Park / Rio Vista
- Gate, canal-side street or driveway approach.
- Flagler Village / FATVillage
- Lot, brewery block or event access.
- Beach / A1A
- Hotel entrance, service road or valet lane.
- Port Everglades area
- Terminal gate, cruise lot or access road.
I-95, I-595 and the boulevards
Highway calls need direction, exit and a safe place to wait
Fort Lauderdale sits on I-95 with I-595 feeding the airport and the port, US-1 running the length of the city, and Sunrise and Broward Boulevards as the main east-west arteries. A roadside call on any of them starts with your safety: direction, nearest exit or interchange, mile marker if visible, and whether the vehicle is on a shoulder, ramp or live lane.
On the boulevards, the cross street and the side of the road matter more than the address — medians and divided lanes can send a truck to the wrong side. If police or Road Rangers are present, tell dispatch before confirming.
Port Everglades and FLL
Cruise and airport calls need the terminal, gate or level
Port Everglades cruise terminals and Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International generate calls where the vehicle may sit in a terminal garage, an economy lot, a passenger lane or a cargo road. “I am at the port” or “at the airport” leaves a truck circling between gates.
Give the terminal number or letter, the garage or lot name, the level or row, and a visible sign. After a cruise return or a flight arrival, traffic control may assign a lane — ask where the tow truck can meet you and pass that instruction to dispatch.
Vehicle after a cruise
Terminal number, garage level or passenger lane.
Dead battery in a parking lot
Garage or economy lot, level, row and shuttle stop.
Lockout at valet
Hotel entrance, valet lane and who controls it.
Vehicle near the docks
Marina gate, dock letter and firm access.
Events and seasonal traffic
Boat shows and beach weekends change every approach
The Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show, spring-break beach weeks and Las Olas festivals fill lots, close lanes and shift traffic control for days at a time. During those windows a pickup point that worked last month may be barricaded today.
If an event is active, tell dispatch and ask event staff or police where a service vehicle may stage. A battery call in an event lot often needs a row, a gate and a person who can wave the truck through — decide that before the truck arrives, not after.
- Boat show / marine events
- Gate assignments and restricted lanes; ask staff first.
- Beach weekends
- A1A congestion; give hotel entrance or side street.
- Las Olas events
- Street closures; nearest open cross street.
- Game or concert nights
- Post-event lanes; a pre-agreed meeting corner.
Vehicles we move in Fort Lauderdale
Beach cruisers to business pickups
Calls here range from convertibles and low coupes in Las Olas valet lanes to contractor pickups, AWD family SUVs and motorcycles along the beach. The description decides the equipment: drivetrain, rolling and steering condition, ride height and any lip or kit.
For EVs and hybrids say the brand — towing an electric drivetrain wrong can damage it. For a vehicle with a dead battery in a garage, say whether another car can reach it for a jump start or whether the unit must position at the ramp.
