K9 Recovery and Transport provides 24/7 emergency car recovery across the UK, dispatching a nearby vetted driver fast for breakdowns, accidents and unsafe situations. One call sends the closest of our 3,000 vetted drivers to you, any hour of any day. There is no membership needed and every recovery is fully insured. Any time, any place, any vehicle, any situation.
What counts as an emergency
If your vehicle is stranded, unsafe, or blocking traffic, treat it as an emergency and call us. Common ones include:
- A breakdown on a motorway, dual carriageway or busy road.
- An accident or collision, whether the car is drivable or not.
- A vehicle that won’t start and is stuck in a dangerous or exposed spot.
- A flat battery, blowout or breakdown late at night or in bad weather.
- Any situation where you or your passengers feel unsafe.
Safety first — what to do before we arrive
Your safety matters more than the vehicle. If you can:
- Get to safety — steer onto the hard shoulder, a refuge area, or off the carriageway.
- Switch on your hazard lights so other traffic can see you.
- Get behind the barrier on a motorway — leave the vehicle by the left-hand door and stand well away from traffic, up the bank if there is one.
- Keep passengers and pets out of the running lanes and away from the roadside.
- Call 999 if you are in a live lane, injured, or in immediate danger — then call us.
Accident recovery, handled properly
After a collision, a vehicle may be leaking fluids, have sharp damage or need careful loading. Our vetted drivers are equipped to recover accident-damaged vehicles safely and move them to your home, a garage or a body shop. Everything is fully insured in transit. See our dedicated accident recovery service for what to expect.
How quickly we reach you
Because we dispatch the nearest available driver from a nationwide pool of 3,000, help is rarely coming from far away. When you call, give us your exact location, your vehicle details and what has happened, and we send the closest driver with the right truck. You will get a clear price before they set off — and in a genuine emergency, speed is the priority. We cover England, Scotland and Wales around the clock, with deepest capacity in London.
