Frequently Asked Questions — Motorway Recovery
What should I do if I break down on a motorway?
Pull onto the hard shoulder as far left as possible with your wheels turned left. Switch on your hazard lights. Exit the vehicle via the passenger-side door and stand behind the Armco barrier, away from live lanes. Call us immediately using the instant quote form or phone number above — do not attempt to fix the vehicle yourself on the motorway.
Is motorway recovery more expensive than normal recovery?
Our fixed-price quotes are based on distance and vehicle type, not road type. You get the same transparent pricing for a motorway breakdown as you would for any other location — no emergency surcharges.
How quickly can you reach me on a motorway?
Motorway breakdowns are treated as our highest priority. Response times vary by location and time of day, but our nationwide network means an agent is always close by. Once your quote is confirmed, your agent is dispatched immediately.
Can you recover my car from a smart motorway with no hard shoulder?
Yes. On smart motorways, pull into an Emergency Refuge Area (ERA) if available. Activate your hazard lights and use the SOS phone in the ERA, or contact us immediately. Stay in the ERA until help arrives.
