How our UK car recovery works
Fixed price before you confirm
The exact cost is calculated and locked in the app before you tap confirm. No estimate ranges, no variable callout fees, no invoice surprises. What you see is what you pay - whether it's 3am on Christmas Day or a Tuesday afternoon.
DBS-checked, insured operators
Every TowManVan operator passes five mandatory checks: photo ID and DBS background check, DVLA driving licence verification, trade insurance confirmation, vehicle roadworthiness inspection, and a platform training induction.
Live operator tracking
From the moment your operator is dispatched, their live GPS position shows on a map. Watch the ETA update in real time - no more waiting in the dark, no more calling a call centre to ask if someone is coming.
TowManVan vs RAC, AA and Green Flag
Traditional providers charge annual memberships of £63–£137 before you've ever broken down. If you never break down, you've paid up to £137 for nothing. TowManVan is pay-per-use - and with local operators everywhere, average arrival is under 30 minutes versus the 60-minute industry average.
The breakdown-cover model is broken.
UK drivers paid AA, RAC and Green Flag roughly £750m last year for breakdown cover most of them never used. The model relies on selling reassurance, not rescue: a £63–£137 annual subscription buys a promise, priced as if you will break down three times a year. Claim against it once and your renewal jumps. Let it lapse and your one-off callout fee is £159–£199 - five times what the job actually costs the operator.
TowManVan is built the other way round. There is no subscription. A local DBS-checked operator is dispatched from the app in 60 seconds. Because we unbundle the seven things drivers actually call for - jump start from £49, lockout £55, local tow £69, fuel delivery £69, breakdown diagnosis £69, mobile tyre £79, long-distance recovery £149 - each sits at or below the incremental cost of the job. You see the full price in the app before you confirm; the price never changes on arrival; there is no callout fee or out-of-hours surcharge layered on top.
What you are paying for: vetted operators (photo ID, DBS, DVLA licence check, £5m trade insurance, annual vehicle inspection), professional equipment (surge-protected intelligent boost packs, non-destructive entry tools, EV-safe flat-bed tilt recovery), and a live map showing exactly where your operator is. Average UK arrival is 28 minutes versus the ~60-minute figure AA and Green Flag quote in their own service reports.
