Car breakdown on vacation? Beware of scammers!

Many foreign drivers traveling through Slovenia have recently been victims of systematic deception in the event of an accident or vehicle breakdown on the highway.

Despite calling their chosen roadside assistance provider, which ensured the fastest possible roadside assistance, a competing and very convincing roadside assistance provider often appeared at the site of breakdown. This provider convinced the customer that they would carry out the intervention which was often associated with inexplicably high costs.

We advise you ...

  • Contact AMZS call center at number 00 386 1 530 53 53.
  • Verify authorization: if a tow operator appears without an AMZS authorization or work order (regardless of whether the you contacted AMZS or not), do not agree to any services. Always check the work order with the roadside assistance provider, which must contain your personal data already filled in.
  • Follow AMZS call center instructions, that will provide all necessary information to resolve the situation appropriately, including expected arrival time of the roadside assistance provider, name of the assistance provider, the operator can also provide a work order for you to verify the roadside assistance provider's identity.
  • Do not hand over your phone.

 

If you are a member of an automobile club in your country (e.g. ADAC, ÖAMTC, ANWB, HAK …), we advise that in case of a breakdown or accident, you first contact your club, which will send a request to AMZS for assistance.

  • Repair at the breakdown location: battery replacement and vehicle start-up, fuel delivery and assistance with engine start-up, wheel replacement, unlocking the vehicle if you locked the key inside or lost it.
