A Local Team Providing Vehicle Recovery
Cambridge Transport & Recovery was built to offer reliable vehicle recovery without the cold, national feel that often comes with larger providers.
We support private motorists, trade customers, garages, and dealerships with professional recovery and safe vehicle movement. From urgent roadside call-outs to planned transport, every job is handled with care and proper insurance cover.
If you would like to see the full range of services we provide, you can explore them on our main services page.
How We Approach Roadside Assistance
Your safety always comes first. If you are unsure what to do after a breakdown, we will guide you calmly over the phone before dispatching support.
Our team provides:
- 24-hour roadside assistance
- Secure and insured vehicle transport
- Recovery for cars, vans, and light commercial vehicles
- Support across the surrounding towns and counties
We are fully insured up to £100k per vehicle when it is in our care, giving you peace of mind during transport. We confirm the full cost before dispatch, subject to vehicle type, location, and availability.
If your vehicle needs to be moved to a garage or another destination, you can learn more about how we handle this on our dedicated vehicle transport page.
Clear and Fair Pricing
We believe recovery services should be straightforward.
- We only charge for loaded miles.
- The first 25 loaded miles are complimentary.
There are no hidden extras added at the end. Everything is agreed before we attend. That transparency is why many drivers contact us when they need dependable emergency roadside assistance.
What Matters to Us
Local Knowledge
We operate daily across Cambridgeshire and neighbouring areas. Knowing the roads and traffic patterns helps us respond efficiently and plan safe recovery routes.
Clear Communication
From the first call to the final drop off, we keep you informed. You will know who is attending, what the plan is, and what it will cost before we proceed.
Professional Handling
Every vehicle is loaded and secured properly using professional equipment. We treat your car or van with care at every stage.

As a family-run business, responsibility sits with us. When you choose Cambridge Transport & Recovery, you are dealing directly with the people responsible for delivering the service.
