European Towbars

With every component and part of your car, SUV or truck, you want assurance that it has been designed and manufactured to the highest of performance and safety standards. This is no different for your towbar, and European towbars are renowned for being designed and manufactured to the strictest of quality regulations. Fivestar Towbars stocks a quality selection of Euro tow bars for your vehicle. With a quality selection from the likes of Ecohitch, Invisihitch and many more, all European tow bars comply with Directive 94/20/EC as well as equivalent Australian Design Rules so you can be 100% confident in their quality.

European Tow Bars

Revolutionising the way towbars are designed is the European hidden towbar. Unlike other towbar models that are installed behind the car’s bumper, the European towbars vertically mount the hitch up and behind the bumper bar. This makes the towbar virtually invisible once the ball mount has been removed, ensuring it won’t detract from your vehicle’s aesthetic appeal – or leave something for you to bump your shins into! Choose from brands such as Westfalia, Brink and AutoHak.

Discover the Fivestar Service Promise

The team at Fivestar Towbars proudly stock and install Euro tow bars across the Melbourne metropolitan area. With options that meet strict European and Australian safety standards, we’ll come to you, whether you’re at home, at work, or elsewhere.

Five Star Tow Bars were absolutely brilliant! They installed electric brake controllers in two cars and one of our trucks where they came to the site we were working. They then also attended our yard a week or so later and serviced 5 of our trailers. They have everything working great and the team on site were fantastic explaining what they were doing and any works they also recommended to be done. I have great peace of mind for the business now for all our towing. We will be using them going forward and would highly recommend them.

Response from the owner:Thank you for the fantastic five-star review and for trusting Five Star Tow Bars with your vehicles and trailers. We're thrilled our team could install the electric brake controllers onsite and service your trailers while clearly explaining the work and recommendations. It’s great to hear you have peace of mind for your business towing needs and that you’ll be using us going forward. We appreciate the recommendation and look forward to supporting you whenever you need us.

Five Star Technicians (Ryan & Kane) did a fantastic job of installing a towbar for my VW Touareg with additional plugs for connecting our caravan. When I contact them, Luke knew actually I needed. I am very happy with the end result. Thank you all very much. Christine, 13th Jan 2026

Best in market service, price, delivery and friendly technician on site.
Got a towbar install. I called 10 providers some quoted up to double for same service as these guys. They also had the fastest turnaround time.
Don't bother calling others just dial Five Star Towbar.

Very reasonable price and extremely professional!
I visited many shops before and none of them could install a brake controller.
Even Toyota told me they couldn’t do it — I couldn’t believe it.

Five Star Towbars were the only ones who could help, and they did an amazing job.
The price was very affordable, the installation was clean and professional, and the staff were all super friendly and helpful.

Highly recommended!

Response from the owner:Glad we could help you out Haoyang!

Andrew

I had a great experience with Fivestar Towbars. Needed a towbar for my Subaru Outback and found them via Google. The booking was quick and straightforward, the price was very reasonable, and they supplied an Aussie-made BTA towbar which was exactly what I wanted. The installers arrived early, worked quick, and delivered a result that looked spot on. I also appreciated how easily they accommodated the job even though I’m in an apartment and space to work was tight. Everything went smoothly and the towbar looks excellent. Five stars from me!

Response from the owner:Thanks for the great review Andrew!
Happy towing travels.

Absolutely incredible work from these guys, they saved by butt! I called up with a niche imported car that most other places declined to even consider if they had a compatible solution. These guys asked me to send through some photos, discussed some measurements, and organised a super quick installation at a very reasonable price. Can't recommend them enough! :) thank you!

Response from the owner:Thanks so much for the awesome review George! We really appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. It was a pleasure helping you out with your import, and we’re thrilled to hear you’re happy with the result. We love a challenge, and it’s great when everything comes together smoothly. Thanks again for choosing us — we’re always here if you need anything in the future!

Brett Johnson

Had a BTA towbar installed on a new CX5 about a month ago.

Installers were arrived on time and were polite and efficient. They demonstrated that wiring harness was functional and also disabled the auto reverse braking and sensors when the job was done.

It would have been nice if they plugged the dashcam fuse taps back in when done but that’s not worth knocking a star off.

Response from the owner:Hey Brett
Thanks for the review. Apologies for the Dashcam plug, will mention to our guys to avoid in the future.

I've had 5 Star Tow Bars fit a towbar and electric brakes on two cars now and I wouldn't use anyone else.

Paul Dixon

Had Euro towbar on order, pleasantly surprised to find it arrived in stock a month early. Fitting crew arrived on day organised and were very professional and thorough in fitting bar. All cutouts in bar were accurate and perfectly fitted the bar. Only hiccup was Euro bars required slightly smaller shackles. Was able to sort these locally from Repco and was quickly reimbursed by Luke from five star without any hassle. Very happy with bar and professional fitting of it. No hesitation of highly recommending Luke and his company. An absolute pleasure to deal with.

Response from the owner:Thank you for your wonderful feedback, Paul! We're thrilled to hear that your Euro towbar arrived earlier than expected and that our fitting crew provided professional service. We appreciate your understanding regarding the shackle situation and are glad that we could resolve it quickly for you. Your recommendation means a lot to us, and we’re delighted to have had the opportunity to serve you. Looking forward to assisting you again in the future!

I had the guys from 5 Star Towbars install a towbar and a bike rack on my VW today and I could not be happier with the product and service. They were easy to deal with, provided clear instructions for how to use the tow bar and bike rack and as a bonus they came to me at work to complete the job! Their pricing was also well below 2 other quotes I had received. Well done and thank-you : )

European Tow Bars Product FAQs

Are European towbars compatible with Australian vehicles?

European towbars can be compatible with Australian vehicles, but they must comply with Australian Design Rules and standards. While some European towbars meet these requirements, others may only be certified to European standards and not suitable for use in Australia without modification or additional certification.

How do European towbars differ from standard towbars?

European towbars often feature a swan neck design where the towball and ball mount are a single, integrated piece. They are typically more compact and aesthetically pleasing, with some models like the Invisihitch offering a concealed design. European towbars are designed to comply with strict European safety standards, which can differ from those in Australia.

What vehicles are best suited for European towbars?

European towbars are generally well-suited for smaller vehicles and those where aesthetics are a priority, such as luxury cars. They are ideal for vehicles that require a clean look, as many European towbars can be detached or concealed when not in use.

Can European towbars be used for towing heavy loads?

European towbars are generally designed for towing capacities ranging from 3,000 to 3,500 kg, making them suitable for moderate towing needs. However, they may not be ideal for very heavy loads, especially compared to some heavier-duty towbars designed for larger vehicles and trailers. Always check the specific towing capacity of the towbar and ensure it matches your towing requirements.
