Accident Recovery Explained: What Happens Next
How accident recovery works, where your vehicle goes and how it links with your insurer.
At the scene
Once emergency services say it's safe, we load the vehicle and clear any debris we can.
Where your car goes
We can take it to your home, a garage or bodyshop of your choice, or to secure storage while your insurer decides on repairs.
Dealing with insurers
Keep your recovery receipt. Many insurers will reimburse recovery costs as part of a claim — check your policy.
