Taxi Drivers
Taxi & Private Hire Vehicle Recovery
Self-employed taxi drivers and private hire firms who lose income the moment a car stops moving.
For a taxi or private hire driver, a breakdown doesn't just mean an inconvenient wait – it means the meter's stopped and the bookings keep coming in without you. We understand that time genuinely is money in this line of work, so our aim is always to reach you as quickly as we reasonably can.
We also know that plenty of taxi jobs happen late at night or in the early hours, often in areas that feel less than ideal to be stuck in. Our recovery service runs 24/7 across Birmingham, the Black Country, Solihull and Sandwell, so whatever time your car lets you down, there's someone to call.
Getting you back to work
If your vehicle can be fixed at the roadside, we'll always try that first, because getting you back on shift is usually more useful to you than a tow to a garage that might take days. Where a repair isn't possible on the spot, we'll talk through the quickest sensible option.
Safety while you wait
Breaking down with a passenger on board, or waiting alone late at night, isn't a comfortable position to be in. We try to keep you informed with a realistic time frame so you're not left guessing, and we'll always let you know once we're on our way.
Support for private hire firms
If you run a small private hire firm with several drivers, we can be a reliable number to give your team for whenever a car breaks down, rather than everyone searching for a recovery firm mid-shift.
- 24/7 response, including nights and weekends
- Roadside repair attempted before recovery where possible
- Recovery to your preferred garage
- Cover across Birmingham, Solihull, Sandwell and the Black Country
What happens to your passenger
If you have a passenger with you when you break down, let us know when you call so we can talk through the best option for getting them on their way, whether that's another taxi or onward transport.

Questions from operators like you
Do you attend breakdowns with a passenger still in the car?
Yes, just tell us when you call so we can help you sort the best option for your passenger as well as the vehicle.
Can you come out in the early hours?
Yes, we operate 24/7, including overnight, which is often when taxi breakdowns happen.
Will you try to fix the car rather than just tow it?
Where it's safe and practical, we'll attempt a roadside fix first, since that gets you back working sooner than a full recovery.
Do you offer any arrangement for private hire firms with several drivers?
Yes, we're happy to discuss being your firm's go-to recovery number, so drivers know exactly who to call.
