Car breakdown cover you only pay for when you use it
No membership. No yearly fee. No renewal. If your car breaks down, you call us, we give you one price and we carry it to your garage or your home. If it never breaks down, you never pay. That usually works out cheaper than paying every month.

Broken down right now
Don’t get stranded. Call now, get your price and get it moving. We’re open 24 hours a day, every day of the year.
Booked for a day that suits you
A car going to a garage for repair or an MOT, or a non-runner to move? Pick the day and time, get your free quote and we’ll be there.
When car drivers use it
Won’t start
If it’s the battery, we jump-start it. If it’s more than that, we recover it.
Clutch, gearbox or engine trouble
If it can’t be driven safely, we carry it to your garage. See car breakdown recovery.
After an accident
Damaged cars loaded carefully and taken where you or your insurer choose. See accident recovery.
Stuck or won’t roll
Locked wheels, seized brakes, mud and verges. See non-runner and stuck car recovery.
Carried, not towed
Your car travels on the back of our flatbed truck with all its wheels off the road. That’s safer for automatics, four-wheel-drive cars and electric cars, and it means a car with a locked wheel or accident damage can still be moved.

What is pay as you go car breakdown cover?
It’s car breakdown help you pay for only when you need it. There’s no membership and no yearly fee. You call, we give you the price, we recover your car and you pay for that job only.
Is it an insurance policy?
No. It isn’t an insurance policy or a membership. It’s a one-off service that you pay for each time you use it.
Is it cheaper than monthly breakdown cover?
Usually, yes. With monthly or yearly cover you pay whether you break down or not. With pay as you go you pay nothing until you need us, so if you rarely break down it usually works out cheaper.
How much does it cost?
Car recovery starts from £75 for a small hatchback, £85 for a medium car and £95 for an SUV or larger car. Jump starts start from £60. You get the full price before you book.
Does it cover automatics and 4x4s?
Yes. Every car travels on our flatbed with all its wheels off the road, which is the safe way to move automatics and four-wheel-drive cars.
Where can you take my car?
Anywhere in the UK – your garage, your home or any other address. The journey is included in the price we give you.
Can I use it more than once?
Yes, as often as you need. Each job is priced and paid for on its own.
How do I pay?
By card or bank transfer. The call-out or booking fee is paid up front by bank transfer or through our secure payment link, and you pay the rest on our card machine when we’re with you. For your security, we never take card details over the phone and we never store them.
