Insurance-Approved Incident Management & Secure Storage

We recover the vehicle and help make the next step clear. Where secure storage is needed, we can coordinate delivery to an appropriate insurance-approved compound, subject to availability and insurer instructions.

Incident-ready dispatch

Crash-damaged vehicle recovery

Collision damage can lock wheels, collapse suspension, deploy airbags or leave sharp panels and fluid leaks. Tell us what happened, where the vehicle rests and whether emergency services or a traffic officer are present. Photos can help dispatch understand the position, but only take them from a safe place.

We confirm whether the vehicle can roll, steer and brake. That decides the recovery unit, winch arrangement and loading equipment. A badly damaged vehicle should not be dragged or driven simply to clear the road. The driver carries out a final scene assessment before movement begins.

Insurer-directed delivery

Your insurer may name a repairer, salvage agent or storage facility. Keep the claim reference and contact details ready. We deliver only to a location authorised by you or the responsible party.

Secure storage coordination

If no repair destination is open, we can discuss transfer to a suitable secure compound. Access, release fees and storage terms are confirmed by the receiving facility.

EV collision handling

Tell us immediately if an electric or hybrid vehicle has impact damage, smoke, heat or warning messages. Keep clear and follow emergency-service instructions around a suspected battery event.

Post-incident paperwork

Keep police, insurer and third-party references together. We provide the recovery details available from our job so you can explain where and when the vehicle moved.

Heavy winching and off-road extraction

A ditch, verge, embankment or restricted yard changes the job. We assess ground, access, vehicle angle and hazards before equipment is committed.

Ditch and verge recovery

Do not try to tow a stranded vehicle with a private car or an unapproved attachment point. A poor pull can roll the vehicle, damage the chassis or put people in the line of a cable. Keep everyone away from the extraction area.

Dispatch asks for photos from a safe position, the vehicle orientation, surface type, drop depth and nearby obstacles. We then identify the recovery vehicle and rigging likely to be required. On arrival, the operator sets a controlled exclusion area and reassesses the pull.

Restricted access and car parks

Basements, multi-storey car parks, narrow entrances and low ceilings may block a normal flatbed. Give the signed height limit, floor level, ramp width and exact vehicle position. A low-clearance solution or staged move may be needed.

If a vehicle has struck a wall, bollard or barrier, do not move it until the structure and vehicle are safe. Site management, police or a qualified engineer may need to approve access first. Recovery starts only when the scene is released.

Rolled or unstable vehicles

A vehicle on its side, roof or a steep angle requires specialist stabilisation. Keep clear. We will not ask a customer to attach cables or stand near the load.

Large SUVs and vans

Heavier vehicles need capacity checks. Send the model, wheelbase and load details. See our van and commercial recovery page for the dispatch information we need.

Off-road does not mean reckless

Soft ground, hidden services, trees and roadside furniture can affect the pull. If safe access is not possible, we explain the constraint and coordinate the next appropriate step.

From scene control to final destination

You will know who is coming, what information is still needed and where the vehicle is going.

Emergency check

Call 999 first for injuries, danger, blocked live lanes, fire, smoke, debris or a fuel spill. Recovery follows emergency-service control.

Scene assessment

We gather the exact location, vehicle condition, road position, access limits and instructions from police or traffic officers.

Controlled recovery

The driver establishes a safe working area, plans the pull or loading route, and secures the vehicle for transport.

Documented handover

We take the vehicle to the agreed repairer, home address or secure facility and confirm the receiving contact.

Roadside spill and debris management

Recovery is one part of reopening a safe road. Emergency services and highway authorities control the scene and may appoint specialist contractors.

Do not enter a live carriageway

Never collect broken parts from a motorway or high-speed road yourself. Stop in a place of relative safety and call 999 for an obstruction. Tell the operator about fluid, glass, bodywork or cargo on the road.

Where authorities permit, the recovery operation can deal with vehicle-related debris around the immediate loading area. Significant oil, fuel, battery material or hazardous cargo needs the correct specialist response. We do not conceal a spill or move danger onto another part of the road.

Clear information for your insurer

Note the time, location, incident number, police force and destination of the recovered vehicle. Photograph damage only when safe. Do not admit liability at the scene; give factual information to the relevant parties.

If the incident happened on the M6, M5 or M42, follow our motorway safety guidance. If the damaged vehicle needs movement later, a scheduled transport booking may be more suitable than an emergency call-out.

Emergency services come first

Call 999 for injuries, immediate danger, a vehicle in a live lane, fire, smoke, fuel on the road or dangerous debris. Follow police and traffic-officer directions. Once the scene is controlled, call us with the incident location, vehicle details and authorised destination.

Calm recovery after a difficult moment.

Tell us what has happened and where the vehicle is. We will ask only what is needed to coordinate the safest next move.
