Can I call a tow truck if my car is blocked?

You can call a tow truck if your car is blocked. Here is the relevant information: 1. In residential areas: If your car is blocked in a residential area, you can report it to the property management to see if they can help contact the other car owner. 2. Insurance company: Check the insurance label on the other car's windshield to find out which insurance company it belongs to. You can pretend to have scratched the other car and ask the insurance company staff to contact the other car owner. 3. Call the police for towing: You can also consider calling the police to arrange for a tow truck. As long as the other car is parked illegally, you can dial the 122 traffic accident hotline and have the police tow the car. The towing fee will then be the responsibility of the other car owner.
You can certainly call a tow truck to remove your car, but it depends on the situation. I've tried it a few times when my car was blocked in a parking spot. If you're blocked in a shopping mall or residential area, don't panic—first, contact the property management or security. They have the authority to arrange for a tow truck to handle the blocking vehicle, but you'll need to provide the specific location and your ID number. If you're blocked on the road, be more cautious and directly report it to the traffic police. The police will coordinate with a towing company, which may offer free or paid services. Remember, calling a private tow truck to remove someone else's car without authorization may violate property laws and lead to civil disputes. It's advisable to park in open spaces whenever possible and take photos as evidence if you encounter a blockage. In short, handling it legally is key.
