Local coverage across Cambridge
We cover the whole of Cambridge for van recovery: the city centre, Cherry Hinton, Trumpington, Chesterton, the Cambridge Science Park, the Biomedical Campus at Addenbrooke’s and the business parks off the A14. Whether your van is at a delivery point, on the A14, or at a Science Park loading bay, we can reach you and recover it, loaded or empty.
Our trucks know the key routes: the A14 north of the city, the M11 to the south, the A1134 and A1303 ring roads, Milton Road towards the Science Park and the A1307 to Addenbrooke’s. We carry equipment to recover heavier and larger vans that a car trailer cannot handle.
Local knowledge counts for van work in Cambridge. The centre’s bus gates and bollards block many routes, the Science Park and Addenbrooke’s have controlled access, and the A14 gets heavily congested. We know where it is safe and legal to load a stricken van and the quickest way back to your depot.

The nearest available operator heads to you, with live updates so you are never left wondering.

What to do if you break down in Cambridge
A few quick steps keep you safe while you wait for recovery.
Get to safety
Pull over as far from traffic as you can, switch on your hazard lights and, if it is safe, leave the vehicle from the side away from passing traffic.
Make yourself visible
Put on a hi-vis if you have one and use a warning triangle on normal roads. On a motorway or red route, stay behind a barrier and do not place a triangle.
Note your location
Look for a street name, building, junction or marker post. It helps us reach you faster and confirm the nearest safe access point.
