Common questions
Breakdown Recovery FAQs
Answers to common questions before you call.
01 What vehicles can you recover?
We support cars and light vehicles. Share vehicle details when you call so we send the right recovery option.
02 What if I break down on a motorway?
Get yourself safe first: leave by the passenger side, wait behind the barrier and call 999 if you are in a live lane or in danger. Then call us with the junction or marker post number and we will tell you whether we can attend or arrange recovery.
03 Where will my vehicle be taken?
Common destinations include a local garage, your home address or another agreed safe location.
04 Should I keep trying to start the car or call for recovery?
If the car will not continue safely, call early. Repeated attempts can drain the battery further and leave you waiting longer without a plan.
Still unsure? Call and we will talk you through it.
