Why it happens
Getting you and your day back on track
We understand a broken-down work van isn't just an inconvenience, it can mean a missed job or a delayed delivery. While we can't speed up the mechanical fault itself, we aim to get to you and get the van moved as promptly as we can, and we're happy to discuss your priorities when you call.
Where the van goes from here
We can recover your van to your regular garage, a fleet maintenance provider, your business premises, or your home — whatever makes most sense given the load and your plans for the rest of the day.
Keeping your load secure
Once your van is loaded onto our recovery vehicle, we make sure the contents inside remain secure for the journey — this is worth flagging to us if you've got particularly heavy, valuable, or awkwardly shaped equipment on board, so we can plan appropriately.

Yes, we take care to secure the load for the journey, and it helps if you flag anything particularly heavy or valuable when you call.
