VEHICLE RECOVERY
Need help with your vehicle?
Based in Peterborough, ResQ Direct provides vehicle recovery for cars and vans across Peterborough, Cambridgeshire and surrounding areas, together with longer-distance vehicle transport across Great Britain.
If your car or van has broken down, been involved in an accident or cannot be driven safely, ResQ Direct can recover the vehicle and transport it to the destination you choose.
This could be your home, a local garage, repair centre, dealership or another agreed location. We can also help with non-running vehicles that need to be moved rather than repaired at the roadside.
When you contact us, tell us where the vehicle is, what vehicle you have and what has happened. If you already know where you would like it taken, give us the destination as well. This helps us understand the recovery required and discuss the job with you.
Non-Running & Damaged Vehicles
We can recover cars, vans and motorcycles that have broken down, been damaged or cannot be driven safely. Non-running vehicles can also be collected, including those that need transport to a garage, repair centre or another suitable destination.
What We Need From You
When you contact us, provide the vehicle make and model, its current location and the destination. If it is damaged or non-running, tell us whether it starts, rolls and steers, and mention any access or loading issues we should know about.
Where We Can Take Your Vehicle
Your vehicle can be taken to your home, a garage, repair centre, dealership or another agreed destination. You choose where it needs to go, and we arrange the recovery around the vehicle, collection point and destination.
VEHICLE TRANSPORT
Your vehicle.
Moved safely.
ResQ Direct provides vehicle collection and transport for private customers, garages, dealers and other automotive businesses. We can help with local vehicle movements as well as longer-distance collections and deliveries across Great Britain.
Whether you have bought a vehicle privately or at auction, need a non-running vehicle moved to a garage, or simply need a car transported from one location to another, tell us where the vehicle is and where it needs to go.
For a transport quote, send us the collection and delivery postcodes, the make and model of the vehicle and let us know whether it starts, drives, rolls and steers. Please also tell us about anything that may affect loading or access at either location.

GETTING A QUOTE
What affects the cost of vehicle recovery or transport?
Every recovery or transport job is different, so the cost depends on the journey and the vehicle rather than one fixed price for every collection.
The collection and delivery locations are important, but the condition and size of the vehicle can also affect the job. A vehicle that starts, rolls and steers may have different loading requirements from an accident-damaged vehicle or one with locked wheels.
Access can matter too. Narrow roads, restricted parking, underground locations or difficult collection points may need to be considered before the vehicle is collected.
Journey
Collection and delivery locations and overall distance.
Vehicle
Vehicle type, make, model and approximate size.
Condition
Whether it starts, drives, rolls and steers.
Access
Anything at either location that could affect loading.
IF YOU HAVE BROKEN DOWN
Your safety comes first.
If you are currently broken down, concentrate first on keeping yourself and other road users safe. Your next action will depend on where the vehicle has stopped and whether you can reach a safer location.
Once you are in a safe position, you can contact us to discuss recovery. Tell us where the vehicle is, what has happened and anything that may affect its recovery. If the vehicle is in a dangerous position or there is an immediate risk to people or traffic, contact the appropriate emergency service first.
Never put yourself at risk to inspect, repair or move a vehicle in an unsafe location.
