A breakdown or accident abroad can leave your vehicle a long way from home and make the recovery process more complicated than a normal UK breakdown.
When repatriation has been authorised through your insurer, breakdown provider or assistance company, Recover U Away can arrange the vehicle transport back to the UK.
We handle the collection and transportation side of the process, helping move your vehicle from its current European location to a suitable UK destination.
The exact cover and arrangements will depend on your insurance or assistance policy.
Vehicle repatriation may be required when:
In these situations, arranging professional transport can be the simplest way to get your vehicle home without relying on it to complete a long journey from Europe.
Your vehicle does not have to be sitting at the roadside for us to arrange repatriation.
We can collect from suitable locations including:
Once collection has been arranged, we can transport the vehicle to an agreed destination anywhere in the UK.
Your vehicle can be transported to a suitable UK destination such as:

If your vehicle has been involved in an accident abroad and cannot be driven safely, it may need to be returned to the UK for assessment or repair.
Recover U Away can arrange transportation from the accident recovery location, local garage or storage facility to an agreed UK destination.
This can include vehicles with damaged bodywork, steering, suspension, wheels or other issues that make the vehicle unsuitable for a long drive home.
Before transportation is arranged, we’ll need to understand the vehicle’s condition and the collection location so the correct recovery equipment can be used.
Not every breakdown can be repaired locally.
If your vehicle has suffered a serious mechanical or electrical failure and your insurer or assistance provider has authorised repatriation, we can arrange its return to the UK.
This can include vehicles that:

Whether the vehicle is still abroad following an accident or has already been recovered to a local workshop, we’ll arrange the transportation based on the approved recovery requirements.

That depends on your individual insurance or assistance policy and the circumstances of the incident. Some European assistance policies include vehicle repatriation subject to conditions, limits and eligibility requirements, so you should confirm authorisation with your insurer or assistance provider before arranging transport.

Whether your vehicle is at a European garage, recovery yard, roadside location or secure storage facility, we’ll help arrange the collection and delivery.
