Hana Highway Towing & Roadside Recovery

Navigating Maui's Most Technical Highway Breakdown

The **Hana Highway (Route 360)**, famously known as the **"Road to Hana,"** is one of the most beautiful coastal drives in the world. However, with over **600 hairpin turns, 59 narrow one-lane bridges**, steep drop-offs, and frequent mud or rockfall debris, it is also the most challenging road in Hawaii.

A vehicle breakdown or flat tire along this route is a serious logistical challenge. Many standard towing operators based in Kahului refuse to service the Hana Highway due to the time and specialized equipment required.

Our centralized referral network works with **specialized operators stationed on the North Shore (near Paia/Haiku) and within Hana town itself**. These local drivers operate shorter, highly maneuverable rollback flatbeds designed specifically to navigate the narrow bridges and tight cliffside bends of the Road to Hana without blocking public traffic.

Stranded on Hana Hwy? Low Cell Signal Instructions

Cell phone coverage is extremely weak or non-existent in many parts of the Hana rainforest. If your car breaks down, please follow these steps to secure a dispatch:

1. Secure Your Vehicle: Pull as far into a roadside turnout or gravel overlook as physically possible. Turn on your hazards.
2. Locate a Cell Zone: Walk or ride with another passing motorist to the nearest scenic landmark or state park (such as **Garden of Eden Arboretum at Mile 10, Kaumahina State Wayside at Mile 12, Keanae Peninsula at Mile 16, or Pua'a Ka'a State Park at Mile 22**), which frequently have active cell signals.
3. Submit Your Quote or Call: Once you have a signal, call our dispatch line at (808) 500-9868. Detail your vehicle's approximate mile marker, color, make/model, and license plate.
4. Return to Vehicle: Our dispatcher will confirm driver dispatch. Return to your vehicle and wait safely. Because of geographic distances, Hana Highway response times average **60 to 120 minutes**.
