When a motorhome breaks down abroad, getting it home can be much harder than getting a normal car recovered.
Recover U Away provides European motorhome repatriation for vehicles that have broken down, been involved in an accident, or cannot be repaired before you’re ready to return to the UK.
We can arrange collection from a European garage, campsite, recovery compound, roadside location or other suitable address, with transportation back to the UK.

A motorhome breakdown can disrupt an entire holiday. You may have luggage, camping equipment and personal belongings inside the vehicle, while the people travelling with you still need to get home.
If the motorhome cannot be repaired locally, continuing the journey may not be an option.
Recover U Away can arrange the transportation of your motorhome back to Britain, whether it is still at the breakdown location or has already been taken to a local garage.
We take care of the vehicle transport so you don’t have to work out how to move a large, heavy or non-running vehicle across several countries yourself.
Not every breakdown needs repatriation. Sometimes a local garage can fix the problem quickly and you’re back on the road.
But the situation can be very different when:
In these circumstances, transporting the motorhome home can be a more practical solution than waiting abroad for the repair to be completed.
In many cases, the roadside recovery has already happened.
A local recovery company may have taken the motorhome to a garage, while you’ve continued your journey or returned to the UK.
That’s not a problem.
We can arrange collection from the garage or recovery facility once the vehicle, collection arrangements and destination have been confirmed.
This means the motorhome doesn’t need to remain at the original breakdown location for us to arrange its journey home.
Motorhomes come in very different shapes and sizes.
A compact campervan and a large A-Class motorhome can have completely different transport requirements. Height, width, length, weight, ground clearance and access to the vehicle all need to be considered before collection.
We’ll need the relevant vehicle details and information about its current condition so the transport can be planned properly.
If the motorhome isn’t running, we’ll also need to know whether it can roll and steer and whether there is enough access for loading equipment.
A motorhome can end up in some very different places after a breakdown.
We can look at collection from locations such as:
Access is particularly important with larger motorhomes. If the vehicle is on a narrow campsite road, underground parking area or difficult-to-access location, tell us when requesting a quote so the collection can be assessed properly.
Once collection has been arranged, your motorhome can be transported to an agreed destination in the UK.
This could be:
If your insurer or breakdown provider has authorised repatriation, we can also work from the collection and delivery information they provide.
Recover U Away can arrange cross-border motorhome transport and vehicle repatriation from locations covered by our European transport network.
Our European routes include:
Ireland, Netherlands, Switzerland, Hungary, Greece, Denmark, Norway, Poland, Finland, Wales, France, Belgium, Calais, Spain, Germany.
Whether your motorhome is stranded in France, sitting at a campsite in Spain or waiting at a garage in Germany, send us the exact collection location, vehicle details and UK delivery address so we can assess the journey.

Motorhome repatriation isn’t something that should be arranged from the registration number alone.
To understand the transport requirements, we’ll normally need:
A few photographs can also be useful, particularly if the motorhome has accident damage or is difficult to access.
One of the biggest difficulties with a motorhome breakdown abroad is that the vehicle and the people travelling in it don’t necessarily need the same solution. You may have already arranged your own journey home while the motorhome remains at a garage overseas.
Once the vehicle is ready for collection, Recover U Away can arrange the transport separately and deliver it to the agreed UK destination.
