This page answers the most common questions about breakdown recovery that Cambridge drivers ask us every day. If you’re unsure about anything, just call us, we’ll explain it clearly and help you decide what to do next.

If you would rather just speak to someone, you can contact us directly, and we will talk it through with you.

 

Frequently Asked Questions

The cost depends on three main things:

  • Where you are
  • What vehicle you have
  • Where the vehicle needs to go

We keep pricing straightforward:

  • We only charge for loaded miles
  • The first 25 loaded miles are included

We will always confirm the full cost before we set off. That way, you are not left guessing or dealing with unexpected charges later.

  • Move your vehicle out of traffic
  • Turn on your hazard lights
  • Exit the vehicle if needed
