Accident recovery: getting a damaged vehicle moved safely
After a collision, the vehicle often can't be driven. Find a verified driver to take it to a garage, storage or your home.
After an accident
Once everyone is safe and details are exchanged, the vehicle may need moving. Your insurer may arrange recovery. If you are arranging it yourself, or want to move the vehicle to a repairer you choose, you can post a job on Recovry.
Useful to know
- Take your own photos of the damage before it is moved.
- Say if there is leaking fluid, a bent wheel or a broken axle.
- Tell the driver if the vehicle is on a road, in a car park or on private land.
- Ask your insurer before you pay, in case recovery is covered.
A record of condition
Recovry drivers take time-stamped photos at pickup and drop-off. They show the damage as it was handed over, which helps if an insurance claim follows.
