What Is the Difference Between Breakdown Recovery and Vehicle Transport?

Breakdown recovery and vehicle transport are related but different services. Understanding the difference helps you request the right assistance when your vehicle cannot be driven.

Breakdown recovery

This is designed for urgent roadside assistance when a vehicle has stopped working or is unsafe to continue driving.

Vehicle transport

Transport is used to move a vehicle from one location to another, including non-running cars that need delivery to a garage or home.

Which service do you need?

Explain whether the vehicle is stranded, driveable, damaged or scheduled for collection so the recovery provider can recommend the right option.
