ADAC is known for its fast and reliable breakdown assistance. But how long does a group transport with ADAC actually take?
What Does “ADAC Group Transport” Mean?
An ADAC group transport is used when your vehicle is no longer drivable after a breakdown or accident and needs to be taken to a repair shop. In contrast to towing, where your vehicle is transported directly without detours, group transport involves transporting multiple vehicles simultaneously.

How Long Does an ADAC Group Transport Take?
The duration of a group transport depends on various factors, such as:
- Distance: The longer the distance to the destination, the longer the transport takes.
- Traffic Situation: Traffic jams and delays can extend the transport time.
- Number of Vehicles Being Transported: The more vehicles that need to fit on the transport truck, the more time the loading and transport will take.
- ADAC Logistics: Route planning and transporter capacity also play a role.
On average, an ADAC group transport takes between 24 and 72 hours. However, it can also be faster or take longer.
Advantages of ADAC Group Transport
Although a group transport takes longer than towing, it offers some advantages:
- Cost Savings: Group transport is generally cheaper than towing, as the transport costs are shared among multiple vehicle owners.
- Environmental Friendliness: By transporting multiple vehicles simultaneously, CO2 emissions are reduced.
- Convenient Solution: You don’t have to organize the transport yourself and can relax.
Tips for a Smooth ADAC Group Transport
- Inform ADAC exactly about your location and the destination for the transport.
- Have your membership number and vehicle documents ready.
- Empty your vehicle before it is loaded.
Conclusion
The duration of an ADAC group transport cannot be given a fixed answer. However, you generally have to expect a wait time of one to three days. Group transport is a cost-effective and environmentally friendly alternative to towing. By following the tips mentioned above, you can help ensure a smooth process.
