Frequently Asked Questions — Accident Recovery
Do I need to wait for the police before calling a recovery company?
You do not need police attendance before arranging recovery unless there are injuries or a disputed liability situation requiring a police report. If the road is blocked or there are injuries, call 999 first. Once the immediate situation is safe, you can arrange recovery of your vehicle.
Can you recover a car that has been in an accident and is not driveable?
Yes. Our recovery vehicles are equipped to handle accident-damaged vehicles that cannot be driven. We use flatbed and wheel-lift trucks suitable for vehicles in various states — including those with airbag deployment, front-end damage, or damaged wheels.
Will my insurance company pay for accident recovery?
Most comprehensive insurance policies cover accident recovery. Check your policy or call your insurer before arranging recovery if you want to claim the cost back. If you need to act quickly, you can pay directly and claim reimbursement from your insurer later.
Can you take my car to a specific bodyshop or garage after an accident?
Yes. We offer A-to-B transportation to any destination you choose — your preferred bodyshop, insurer's approved repairer, or home. Just enter your delivery address when getting your quote.
