Mileage is only part of the job.
Recovery pricing also depends on vehicle size, whether it rolls and steers, locked or damaged wheels, pickup access, time of day, equipment and live operator availability.
The estimator deliberately shows a range rather than pretending an online calculation is a confirmed quote. Dispatch confirms the binding job price before payment.

Recovery cost questions
What does car recovery cost in the UK?
Is vehicle recovery charged per mile?+
Mileage matters, but it is not the only factor. Vehicle size and mobility, loading difficulty, access, equipment, time and live operator availability can all affect the final job price.
How much does it cost to tow a car?+
There is no reliable universal towing price for every job. Use the calculator for an indicative planning range, then give dispatch the exact pickup, destination and vehicle condition for the binding quote.
Can a non-runner or locked-wheel vehicle cost more to recover?+
It can. A vehicle that does not roll or steer normally may need different loading equipment or more time, so dispatch checks mobility and wheel condition before confirming the price.
Do I need breakdown membership to book recovery?+
No. SOS 30 Mins is pay on use. Dispatch confirms availability, price and a realistic ETA for the individual job before payment.
