Edinburgh is one of the UK’s major cities, from the City Centre and Old Town to Leith, Morningside and Portobello, ringed by the A720 City Bypass. A breakdown on the bypass, a flat battery on a cobbled Old Town street, or an accident on the A1 all need a fast local response, and our network puts a vetted Edinburgh operator on the way with one company managing your job and price.
Car recovery in Edinburgh FAQs
Can you recover from the A720 City Bypass or Sheriffhall?
Yes. We cover the A720 City Bypass, including the busy Sheriffhall Roundabout, the M8 and M9 approaches and the A1. The bypass is fast and Sheriffhall jams at most times, so give us the junction and direction and we will dispatch the nearest operator.
Which Edinburgh junction is worst for breakdowns and jams?
Sheriffhall Roundabout on the A720 City Bypass is the worst, the only major junction not grade-separated, where several main roads meet at traffic lights, and the Old Craighall roundabout is another recognised trouble spot. Our operators know them well.
How much does car recovery in Edinburgh cost?
Recovery starts from £90 and jump starts from £70 in Edinburgh. The exact price depends on your vehicle, the distance and the time, and we agree it on the phone before we dispatch, with no call-out fee.
How quickly can you reach me in Edinburgh?
Because we dispatch the nearest available local operator, we can usually reach you quickly. Call 07960 200253 with your exact location in Edinburgh and we will give a realistic arrival time before anyone sets off.
Can you recover vans and 4x4s in Edinburgh?
Yes. Our local operators in Edinburgh recover cars, vans, 4x4s and larger light commercial vehicles, on the right equipment, locally or long distance.
Is accident recovery really free in Edinburgh?
If the accident was not your fault, your recovery, storage and a courtesy car are recovered from the at-fault driver's insurer, so there is nothing for you to pay.
