Any way to put the car in Neutral with a dead battery?

Title pretty much says it all. Both batteries dead and won't charge. Car is deep into a garage and trying to get it towed to a shop. Thanks.

If the only problem you have is dead battery, there are easier ways than towing your car.

If you need to access trunk to get to your batteries to replace them, there is an emergency trunk release:

Thanks that ended up being the easiest way to get to the trunk. FWIW in my 05 there's a little screw on the bottom that you have to remove, instead of just pushing down on the seat.
