Taxi Recovery

Taxi Recovery

A taxi or private hire vehicle off the road isn't just inconvenient — it's lost income for every minute it's stopped. We treat taxi and PHV breakdowns as a priority call, not a queue position, so you're back on the rank or back on the app as fast as we can safely manage it.

What's included
Priority dispatch for taxi & PHV drivers
Discreet recovery — no fuss at the rank or on a job
Local garage & depot drop-off
Fleet & regular-account pricing available
Same trained drivers as our standard recovery fleet

A taxi or private hire vehicle isn't off the road the same way a family car is — every minute it's stopped is a fare you're not earning, and a driver who doesn't know when they'll be moving again. We treat these calls differently: taxi and PHV breakdowns go to the front of the queue where we can, because the cost of waiting isn't just inconvenience, it's your day's takings.

We're used to working around a taxi's licence plate, meter and any council markings without causing a fuss — loaded quietly, and taken to whichever garage, depot or approved bodyshop you use, not just wherever's nearest to us. Wheelchair-accessible vehicles get the same careful handling as any other recovery, with the extra care that kind of loading needs.

If you're driving for a firm rather than yourself, or you're likely to need this more than once, ask about setting up an account — it means one phone call next time instead of explaining your situation from scratch, and a driver who already knows roughly what to expect.
