Updated 6 November 2026

Staying safe after a breakdown in Qatar, who to call, and how to find towing, battery and tyre help listed on Markaba, including services open now.

First: stay safe

If anyone is hurt or in danger, call emergency services on 999.
Turn on your hazard lights and, if you can, move the car safely to the side of the road or the hard shoulder.
If it's safe, get out on the side away from traffic and stand well clear of the road. Don't stand behind or in front of the car.
Put out a warning triangle behind the car if you have one and can do it safely.
In the summer heat, find shade, drink water and never leave children in the car.
Have your location ready (your phone's map pin) before calling for towing or help, and ask for the price before any work starts.

Then: who can help

These services are listed on Markaba. Each business lists its own hours and prices; Markaba doesn't send help or vouch for anyone, so contact the business directly.
