Did the tyre burst? Viking helps you around the clock
In the event of a puncture, move to a safe place off the road and call us. We'll help you get ahead - wherever you are, around the clock!
Relax, you are not alone!
A puncture can happen at any time. Depending on the type of puncture, air can come out of the tyre quickly and the tyre deflates when driving on the road. Air can also come out slowly and the tyre deflates after the car has been parked for a while, for example.
If you have noticed that a tyre has blown out, it should be carefully inspected both inside and outside. When you call the Viking roadside assistance number, we will send help and see if the damage can be repaired on the spot. In certain cases of damage, a punctured tyre can be repaired with a temporary repair at the scene of the incident. However, a temporary puncture must always be repaired by removing the tyre from the rim, from the inside of the tyre and by a professional.
Do this:
Move your car to a safe place to the side of the road.
Wear a reflective vest if you are outside the car.
Place a warning triangle to warn other traffic.

Tyre repair, replacement or towing
In the event of a puncture, there are several options for dealing with the situation. Which option you choose depends on the damage to your tyre and whether you have a spare available.
Tyre repair
If the tyre damage allows, we will temporarily repair the tyre so that you can continue your journey. A temporary puncture should always be repaired as soon as possible at a tyre shop by an internal puncture by removing the tyre from the rim. Unfortunately, not all damage can be repaired with a temporary patch.
Towing to a workshop
If the tyre damage is too extensive to repair and a spare is not available, we can help by towing your car to the nearest workshop.
Changing a spare tyre
If the tyre cannot be repaired on the spot, our driver will replace it with a spare, if you have one. All modern cars no longer have a spare tyre, which has been replaced by a replacement set. Some cars may only have a small spare tyre, which allows you to continue driving at a limited speed.
