If you run a handful of vehicles for a Crawley business, our standing-rate fleet pricing usually undercuts pay-as-you-go cover by a meaningful margin — ask the controller when you call.
Local fleets call us when downtime costs them money. We can prioritise repeat-customer jobs and quote on standing rates if you move several vehicles a month.
We get asked these every day — here are the honest answers.
No. The price we quote includes everything — call-out, loading, transport, and delivery. One fixed price, no surprises when the driver arrives.
Yes. Flatbed loading is the same regardless of driving side, so LHD imports, ex-military or European vehicles in Crawley are no problem.
Loading takes around 10–15 minutes for most cars. Then it's a direct drive to your drop-off — no detours, no shared loads.
We focus on recovering your vehicle safely. We can drop you at the same destination as your car, or you can arrange separate transport — we're flexible.
