Frequently Asked Questions
When should I call for vehicle recovery instead of towing?
Towing is generally used when a vehicle is damaged or needs to be moved but is still accessible. Vehicle recovery is needed when the car is stuck somewhere a tow truck cannot reach directly. Examples include bogged vehicles, cars off-road, those stuck on inclines or in tight access areas. If the car cannot be driven onto a tow truck by normal means, recovery is the safer choice.
What vehicles can be recovered?
Vehicle recovery is not limited to cars. Motorcycles, light commercial vehicles and in some cases small machinery can be recovered depending on the equipment used. The main factor is the weight and position of the vehicle. Most recoveries involve everyday cars, but operators are often equipped to deal with different types of vehicles as long as they fall within safe weight limits.
What happens after my car is recovered?
After a vehicle has been recovered, it is typically transported to a repairer, holding yard or location agreed upon by the driver and the recovery team. The destination can depend on insurance requirements or personal choice. Keeping any paperwork or receipts from the recovery is also recommended for insurance purposes.
