Pay-on-use recovery
Car broken down at home? Recovery from your driveway
A car that won't start at home may need assistance or collection even though it is not on a roadside. Tell dispatch whether it is on a driveway, underground parking or a restricted private space, and whether someone can provide keys and access for loading.

What to know
Clear help for the situation you are in.
- ✓Vehicle will not start outside a house, on a drive or at a workplace
- ✓Access details: gates, narrow driveways, slope, parking restrictions
- ✓Keys, handbrake, steering and gearbox state needed to assess loading
- ✓Recover to a garage you choose once it can receive the car
Driveway, gated area or residential street
Describe access before a truck is assigned.
Home collections can be simpler than roadside recoveries, but a blocked driveway, steep slope or inaccessible keys can prevent loading. A precise access description helps prevent delays.
What to have ready when you call
- Say whether the vehicle is on a driveway, private parking, a street or a basement.
- Explain if gates, low roofs, bollards, steep ramps or narrow turning space are involved.
- Arrange key access and confirm that the destination garage can receive the vehicle.
Give the exact pickup and destination before requesting a quote. Dispatch checks the appropriate operator and equipment, total price and a realistic ETA before you commit.

Common questions
Useful answers.
Can a recovery truck collect my car from a narrow driveway?+
Possibly. Send the pickup pin, photos and approximate available access, including gates, walls, gradients or height restrictions. Dispatch checks equipment and safe access before promising collection.
What if the car's battery is flat?+
A jump start may be suitable for some cars, but the symptoms can also indicate another problem. Tell dispatch what happens when you try starting it so the right help can be assessed.
Will you take the car to a garage I choose?+
Yes where the job is accepted and the garage can receive it. Provide the garage address and confirm its receiving arrangements before collection.
