What affects the price?
- Distance — short local recoveries cost less; longer jobs use a base fee plus a per-mile rate.
- Vehicle type — cars are cheaper than vans or commercial vehicles that need bigger equipment.
- Vehicle condition — running vehicles are easier than non-runners that need winching.
- Location — motorway or restricted-access recoveries take more time and care.
- Time and urgency — emergency call-outs can differ from planned transport.
How to avoid being overcharged
- Always ask for a price before the driver is dispatched.
- Check whether the quote includes VAT.
- Ask about any extras — loading, waiting time, storage.
- Get the quote in writing by text or WhatsApp.
- Be wary of quotes that seem suspiciously low.
