What To Do If Your Vehicle Breaks Down in Europe

A Step-by-Step Guide to Arranging European Vehicle Recovery

If your car or van has broken down abroad and you need to get it back to the UK, follow these steps.

Step 1 – Make Sure You and Your Passengers Are Safe

If your vehicle breaks down, move to a safe location if possible, switch on your hazard warning lights, and follow the local road safety regulations.

If you are on a motorway, use the designated emergency procedures for that country. In France, for example, motorway recovery is controlled by authorised operators, so you may need to contact the motorway emergency service first.

If anyone is injured or in immediate danger, call 112, the European emergency number.

Step 2 – Contact UK TOW LTD

Once you’re safe, contact UK TOW LTD to request our European breakdown recovery or vehicle repatriation services.

You can reach us through our website, by telephone, or through Instagram @uktowltd.

Tell us which European country you’re in and whether your vehicle has broken down, been damaged in an accident, or requires collection from a garage or recovery depot.

Step 3 – Send Us Your Exact Location

To arrange an accurate recovery quotation, provide your vehicle’s current location.

You can send:

● A Google Maps location pin

● An Apple Maps location

● A WhatsApp live or current location

● The address of a garage or recovery depot

● A hotel, campsite, or storage facility address

● A motorway recovery depot location

If your vehicle has already been recovered by a local operator, provide details of the recovery company and any storage or release requirements.

Step 4 – Provide Your Vehicle Information

Please send us:

● Vehicle make and model

● Vehicle registration number

● Current collection address and country

● UK delivery address or postcode

● Description of the breakdown or accident

● Whether the vehicle starts, drives, steers, and brakes

● Vehicle photographs, where available

● Any keys, paperwork, or collection authorisation requirements

For vans, motorhomes, and larger vehicles, please also provide approximate dimensions and weight.

Step 5 – Receive Your European Repatriation Quote

Our team will review the collection location, UK delivery destination, vehicle specifications, and transport requirements.

We’ll provide a tailored quotation and discuss the collection arrangements, estimated transport schedule, and any additional requirements.

Step 6 – Vehicle Collection & Return to the UK

Once the quotation has been accepted and the necessary arrangements are confirmed, your vehicle will be collected using suitable transportation equipment and delivered to the agreed UK destination.
