Guide prices only. The price we agree with you on the phone — before the truck moves — is the price you pay.
How your quote is worked out.
Three things decide the number. Nothing else.
Distance
How far you are from our nearest truck, and how far your vehicle needs to go. Shorter jobs cost less — it’s that simple.
Vehicle size
A small hatchback and a loaded transit need different trucks. Tell us what you drive and we’ll send the right one.
Location & access
A car park is straightforward; a ditch or a live motorway lane needs extra kit. We’ll ask where exactly you are so the quote is right.
Always included in your price.
- ✓Price agreed before dispatch. The truck doesn’t move until you’ve said yes to the number.
- ✓No hidden extras. What we quote is what you pay — anything beyond the agreed job is confirmed with you first.
- ✓Insured operators. Your vehicle is in covered, professional hands from pickup to drop-off.
- ✓Loading & unloading handled. We do the awkward bits — you just hand over the keys.
How much does car recovery cost?
It depends on three things: how far, what you drive, and where you are. A jump start in a car park costs far less than a motorway recovery with a winch-out — so we quote every job on its own, and agree the exact price with you before the truck moves.
Flat battery, or a boost to get you moving again.
Short recovery to your home, garage or dealer.
Longer job, live lane or hard shoulder, extra kit.

Common questions about our prices.
Are the prices on this page fixed?
They are starting prices. Every job is different — distance, vehicle size and exactly where you are all change the number — so we confirm your exact price on the phone before we dispatch, and that is the price you pay.
Is the price you quote the price I pay?
Yes. The number we agree on the phone is the number on the invoice. If anything about the job changes once we arrive, we agree any difference with you before doing the work — never after.
Do you charge more at night or on weekends?
We run the same 24/7 operation around the clock, 365 days a year. Call any time and we’ll confirm your exact price before the truck moves.
How do I pay?
We’ll talk you through the payment options when you call. The price is always agreed before we dispatch, so there are no surprises either way.
How much does car recovery cost?
It depends on distance, vehicle size and where you are. UK recovery guides typically quote £50–£80 for a jump start, £75–£150 for a local tow and £150–£300 for a motorway recovery. We confirm your exact price on the phone in about 60 seconds, before the truck moves.
What affects the price of a recovery?
Three things: how far you are from our nearest truck and how far your vehicle needs to go, the size of your vehicle, and where it is — a car park is straightforward, a ditch or a live motorway lane needs extra kit. That is why we quote each job individually instead of guessing from a list.
