Requesting towing near Death Valley Junction

Drivers may reach the junction from California State Routes 127 or 190, or from Nevada State Route 373 through Amargosa Valley. Those approaches cover a wide area with limited services, so “near Death Valley” is not specific enough for dispatch.

Provide the route number, direction, nearest junction or mile marker, a map pin, and whether the vehicle is fully off the travel lane. If the incident is inside Death Valley National Park or on an unmaintained road, state that clearly because access and service options can differ.

Roads and routes to identify

Dispatch cannot locate a vehicle from a broad area name alone. Include the road, direction, nearest cross route or marker, and a map pin whenever possible.

  • California State Route 127
  • California State Route 190
  • Nevada State Route 373 approach
  • Death Valley gateway routes

Local dispatch guidance

  • Call 911 for a vehicle in a travel lane, medical concern, fire, or immediate heat-related danger.
  • Conserve water and phone battery. Do not leave a safe vehicle to search for help across long desert distances.
  • Park rules, road closures, and remote-road conditions may affect access; the request form is not a substitute for emergency or ranger services.

Coverage note: A submitted request is not guaranteed service. Exact location, route, access, vehicle, equipment, distance, timing, and current availability must be reviewed and confirmed.

Towing questions for Death Valley Junction

Do you provide service inside Death Valley National Park?

Do not assume coverage. Park location, road status, vehicle type, access, distance, authorization, and current availability all require review. Contact emergency or park authorities first for immediate safety concerns.

What location details are required near the junction?

Send the state route number, direction of travel, nearest junction or mile marker, map coordinates, vehicle description, and whether you are on pavement or beyond a maintained road.

Can fuel delivery be requested this far from Pahrump?

It can be requested, but distance, correct fuel type, roadside position, and availability must be reviewed. In some situations, towing or another provider may be more practical.
