Volkswagen Towbars

Volkswagen, often referred to as VW, translates to “people’s car” in German. Founded in 1937, the brand aimed to create an affordable vehicle during a period when cars were largely expensive. Volkswagen quickly gained a reputation for producing economical small family cars.

Safe and Secure Towbars for Family-Friendly Cars

Commonly known as VW, Volkswagen translates to “people’s car” — and it has lived up to that name since its beginnings. Founded in 1937, Volkswagen set out to create affordable, reliable vehicles that were accessible to everyone. Over the decades, VW became famous for producing practical, family-friendly cars that offered excellent value for money.

In 1950, Volkswagen introduced the iconic Type 2 — the camper van that remains legendary to this day. Today, Volkswagen offers an extensive range of vehicles, from hatchbacks and saloons to SUVs and commercial Transporter vans.

While VW may be most famous for its camper vans, we supply and fit towbars for the entire Volkswagen range — from family estates to commercial vehicles. Our flange towbars are ideal for use with cycle carriers, towing accessories, and bumper guards, while our swan neck towbars are perfect for AL-KO stabilisers and customers who prefer a more discreet finish.

Our prices include everything — the towbar, towing electrics, and professional installation. You can choose a time and location that suits you, whether that’s at home or at work. Simply enter your vehicle registration number above to get an instant quote and book your fitting.

Which Towbar Electrics Do I Need?

There are two main types of towbar wiring available:

Universal Aftermarket Wiring
A lower-cost option, but with some compromises in functionality.

Dedicated Vehicle-Specific Wiring
Also known as plug-in kits or dedicated wiring looms, this is the recommended solution for modern Volkswagen vehicles.

Dedicated wiring allows Volkswagen’s built-in safety systems — such as Trailer Stability Control — to operate correctly. It also ensures parking sensors are disabled automatically while towing, allowing your trailer or caravan to work seamlessly with your vehicle.

Each wiring kit is designed specifically for the Volkswagen model it is fitted to. Unlike universal wiring, these kits connect without soldering or using Scotch Locks, ensuring the system functions exactly as the manufacturer intended.

If your Volkswagen is less than three years old or still within the manufacturer’s warranty, vehicle-specific wiring is essential to protect that warranty.
