Curdworth operators: taxi drivers 15 miles from base
We run taxi drivers for operators across the North Warwickshire Borough Council area, and Curdworth is one of the patches we cover most often. Between M42 Junction 9 and Curdworth industrial park there is enough commercial movement that we keep a truck within reach of B76 on every shift. Curdworth drivers tend to break down close to home, not on the motorway. We would rather turn a job down than turn up with the wrong truck. Overnight, most work here is on village housing rather than main roads. If the vehicle is in a multi-storey, tell us the level: deck height rules out some trucks entirely.

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.
Where your vehicles actually break down here
In practice the callouts cluster: the approach roads to Curdworth industrial park, the parking around M42 Junction 9, and the residential grid of trade counters where drivers leave vehicles overnight. If the job is close to Coleshill, dropping there can be quicker than returning to Curdworth. Insurance work from Curdworth gets a written condition record before the straps go on. Either way you get a flat figure before the truck leaves. Trade sites we visit most: Curdworth industrial park and the Kingsbury Road corridor.

How the service works for you
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.
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.
Neighbouring areas on the same account
Vehicles rarely stay in one postcode. These areas run off the same North Warwickshire Borough Council-area rota, with distances from Curdworth.
Access and routing around Curdworth
Vehicles collected near the Birmingham & Fazeley Canal are usually loaded from the offside because of the camber.

Nothing gets sub-contracted out of the North Warwickshire Borough Council area.

Questions from operators in Curdworth
Will you try to fix the car rather than just tow it in Curdworth?
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 in Curdworth?
Yes, we're happy to discuss being your firm's go-to recovery number, so drivers know exactly who to call.
Do you attend breakdowns with a passenger still in the car in Curdworth?
Yes, just tell us when you call so we can help you sort the best option for your passenger as well as the vehicle.
Is Curdworth closer to your base or to Birmingham city centre?
About 15 miles from our Oldbury yard and about 10 miles from the city centre, so we come to you directly rather than routing through town.
Can you take the vehicle to a garage outside Curdworth?
Yes. Most drops go to a garage in Curdworth itself or in Coleshill, but we will run further if that is where your repairer is. Give us the destination on the call so it is inside the quoted price.
Do I need to be with the vehicle in Curdworth?
Not always. For collections from trade counters or a unit near Curdworth industrial park we can work with a key safe or a nominated contact, provided we have written authority and someone to receive the vehicle at the other end.
