Car Recovery in Derby, Day or Night, From Recovery Derby

What Does Car Recovery Cost in Derby?

A call-out for our car recovery service typically costs £40 to £150, with roughly £1.50 to £2 a mile added on top depending on how heavy the car is. We give ranges rather than fixed prices because a small hatchback going three miles is a very different job from a van going across the county. Ring with where you are, where the car needs to go and what it is, and you'll get a quote on the phone.

Why Call Recovery Derby?

Recovery Derby has been recovering cars in and around Derby since 2009. We hold 4.9 stars from 71 Google reviews, and the reviewers keep coming back to the same things: the driver turned up when they said, and the price was fair. Our vehicle towing service is simple. Whether it's car towing after a breakdown or a booked move, the car goes on the truck and gets taken where you need it.

Where We Are and Where We Cover

We're at 69 Osmaston Road, Derby DE1 2JH, on the south side of the city centre just past Derbion. From there we cover Derbyshire and the edges of south-west Nottinghamshire and north-west Leicestershire: Belper, Ripley, Heanor, Ilkeston, Alfreton, Ashbourne, Swadlincote, Newhall, Stapleford, Shepshed and Ashby-de-la-Zouch. Stuck on the A52 near Spondon or on the A38 heading for Belper? We cover both, and the A50 and the A6 as well.

Vehicle Recovery for Anything From a Motorbike to a Bus

Cars are only part of it. We recover motorbikes, SUVs and vans too, along with lorries, buses and commercial vehicles. When one of them can't be driven, it goes to a garage, a dealer or home. Whatever you drive or ride, that is vehicle recovery.

Breakdown Recovery When Your Car Stops Dead

Some breakdowns are a flat battery or an empty tank, and a jump-start or a delivery of fuel at the roadside can deal with those. Anything bigger, and the car goes to the garage of your choice while you work out what happens next. Ring for breakdown recovery and a driver is on the way.

Accident Recovery in Derby: We Clear the Car From the Scene

First, get everyone somewhere safe. The car can wait. When you're ready, ring us and we'll send the right truck, load the car carefully and clear it from the scene. If it has ended up in a ditch, in mud or on a verge, we can pull it back onto firm ground. We're an insured recovery service, and you'll get a recovery report to pass to your insurer. We handle accident recovery from the first call to the drop-off.

The Right Recovery Truck for the Job

A small car and a bus need different trucks, so we match the truck to the job. That might be a flatbed, where the whole car sits on the back, or a tilt and slide truck, where the bed tilts and the car slides on. Bigger jobs get a 3.5-tonne or 7.5-tonne recovery truck, and for awkward ones we add a winch, which is a cable that pulls the car into place. Our team is highly trained and certified in all aspects of recovery. Tell us what you've got and we'll send the right recovery truck.

Vehicle Transport for Non-Runners and Planned Moves

Not everything is an emergency. Plenty of cars just need moving: a non-runner (a car that won't start or can't be driven) going to a garage, one bought online or at auction, or one heading to a new home. We can take it anywhere in the UK, however far. Tell us where it's coming from, where it's going and what it is, and we'll quote you before anything moves. Booking vehicle transport takes one call or one form.

24/7 Recovery, Including Nights and Bank Holidays

Cars break down at 3am as well as 3pm, so we're open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year, bank holidays included. Night calls can cost more, and you should hear that from us first: a call-out between 10pm and 7am may carry an extra fee, and we'll say so on the phone before the truck is sent. If you're on a dark road, stay somewhere safe and ring us. Ring at any hour for 24/7 recovery across the area.
