Motorway breakdown cover you only pay for when you use it
No membership. No yearly fee. No renewal. If you break down on the M4, the M3 or the M25, you get yourself safe, call us, get one price and we carry your vehicle off the motorway and on to where it needs to go. If it never happens, you never pay. That usually works out cheaper than paying every month.
On the motorway right now? Get behind the barrier first. If you’re stuck in a live lane or in danger, call 999. Then don’t get stranded. Call 07778 348703, get your price straight away and get it moving.

What to do if you break down on a motorway
Move left
Move onto the hard shoulder or into an emergency area if you can, and switch on your hazard lights.
Get behind the barrier
Get out by the left-hand doors and wait behind the barrier, well away from the traffic.
Can’t get off the carriageway?
Stay in the vehicle with your seat belt on and call 999.
Then call us
Once you’re safe, call 07778 348703 with your motorway, direction and nearest junction.
Off the motorway is only the first step
In some roadworks, where signs say “Free recovery, await rescue”, a recovery truck takes you off the motorway to a safe place at no charge. It doesn’t take the vehicle home or to a garage. We take it on to your garage, your home or wherever you were heading, for one price – you get a free quote before we set off.

What is pay as you go motorway breakdown cover?
It’s motorway recovery 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 vehicle 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?
Motorway recovery starts from £150. The full price depends on the distance and the vehicle, and you get it before we set off.
Do I need breakdown cover to get help on a motorway?
No. Call us, tell us where you are and you’ll get one price for collecting the vehicle and taking it where you want.
Which motorways do you cover?
The M4, the M3 and the M25. Call with your junction and direction and you’ll get your price straight away.
Where can you take my vehicle?
Anywhere in the UK – your garage, your home or any other address. The journey is included in the price we give you.
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.
