Bank holidays mean packed roads, long queues and more breakdowns than almost any other time of year — and standard breakdown services get stretched thin. Here is how to get moving again when everyone else is stuck too.
Get to safety, and be ready for a long wait with the big clubs
Pull over safely, hazards on, and get behind a barrier if you are on a fast road. The big membership clubs often have their longest wait times on bank holidays — sometimes several hours.
You do not have to wait in a queue
An independent recovery firm with a wide driver network can often reach you faster than an overstretched national provider. K9 has a nationwide network of 3,000 drivers, so even on the busiest weekends, someone is usually close.
No membership, no problem
You do not need to be a member to get help — one call, a clear price, and we are on the way. Cars, vans, caravans, 4x4s and more.
Stuck on a bank holiday? Call K9 on 07301 118118 — 24/7, nationwide, no membership.
