When customers use this service
This service commonly helps with SWB and compatible MWB vans, empty commercial vans, garage transfers, long-distance van recovery. Availability can cover planned collections and urgent requests, but an arrival time is only confirmed after checking the nearest suitable recovery vehicle and current road conditions.
Information that helps us quote correctly
Provide the exact model, wheelbase, height, gross vehicle weight and details of tools, stock or other load carried inside.
- Exact pickup point and full destination postcode
- Vehicle make, model, registration, dimensions and approximate weight where relevant
- Whether the vehicle starts, rolls, steers, brakes and selects neutral
- Handbrake type, wheel damage, keys and access restrictions
- Passenger requirements, preferred timing and photographs where needed
Suitable equipment for the real vehicle condition
A van's dimensions and actual operating weight determine whether a recovery truck or suitably rated trailer can safely complete the movement.
Incorrect or missing condition information can delay loading and may change the equipment or price. Tell us about accident damage, seized wheels, lowered suspension, heavy loads, restricted access and any part likely to contact the loading bed.
Safety comes before collection
Undeclared loads and locked wheels can make the planned equipment unsuitable. All load and vehicle-condition information must be supplied before dispatch.
Clear price and payment terms
We confirm availability, the estimated arrival or collection window, total job price, deposit and remaining payment before dispatch. The quote is based on the information supplied. If the real vehicle, load, location or access differs materially, the safe recovery plan may need to be reassessed.
Pickup evidence, tracking and handover
Vehicle condition can be photographed at collection, journey updates may be shared where available, and completion can be evidenced at the agreed destination. For unattended collections, confirm who holds the keys and who is authorised to receive the vehicle.
