Frequently Asked Questions
How fast is car recovery through the app?
We match you to the closest available recovery truck — usually within minutes. Live tracking then shows the driver's exact ETA to your location.

Anywhere you like — your home, your preferred garage, or a dealership. Enter the destination in the app when you book.
Do you cover motorway breakdowns?
Yes. Our network operates on all UK motorways, A-roads and residential streets, 24/7, nationwide.
What happens after a collision?
Open the app and request recovery. If your insurer partners with us, we can coordinate directly. If not, you'll receive a detailed invoice to claim reimbursement.
