Scheduled and long-distance vehicle recovery

Not every recovery is an emergency. Choose a date and time, or a long drop-off — the quote uses both addresses.

In the quote you can choose as soon as possible or a scheduled slot. That is how you book a dealer collection, a garage drop-off tomorrow, or a planned transport when the car still sits on a driveway.

Long-distance jobs are the same product: a pickup in one city and a drop-off in another. The price reflects the journey you entered. An independent partner must accept that mileage.

Scotland–England, Wales–Midlands and similar cross-nation moves are booked this way. There is no separate “long distance department” — just accurate addresses and vehicle notes (wheels, rolling, EV/hybrid).

Pay in the app after you review the quote. Track the job once a partner has accepted.

Open the Express Car Recovery app and choose this service. Independent partners take jobs they offer. There is no walk-in depot.

Questions about scheduled and long-distance recovery

Can I book for next week?

Yes, where the app offers a date and time. Choose schedule instead of ASAP.

Is a 200-mile drop-off allowed?

Yes. Enter the real drop-off. A partner must be willing to take that route.
