Know the cost before booking
Price, payment and arrival time
Recovery starts from £70. That’s a starting price, not a fixed charge for every job: the final price depends on the vehicle, where it is and where it’s going. We agree the full price with you, and payment is due, before we set off.
If a roadside fix doesn’t work: before we set off, we’ll tell you what you pay for the attempt if it doesn’t work, and what recovery would cost from there.
We’ll give you an estimated arrival time on the phone, based on your location, traffic and the jobs already under way, and let you know if it changes. For cancellations, see our terms and conditions.
Help us find you
What to tell us when you call from Beeston
- Exactly where you are: the road and nearest junction, a tram stop or landmark, and the postcode if you know it.
- On the A52: your direction of travel and the nearest junction, for example Bramcote Island.
- On or beside the tram line: if your vehicle is on or blocking the tracks, or anyone is in danger from trams or traffic, call 999 first. Then tell us it’s on the tram line when you call.
- In a car park: its name, the level, and any height barrier on the way in.
- On the university campus or a business site: the entrance or gate you’re near.
- The vehicle: registration, make and model.
- What happened, and whether the vehicle rolls, steers and brakes.
- Where it needs to go.
- How many people need to travel, and whether you have the keys.
The van and motorcycle pages have fuller checklists for those vehicles.
Local access & road safety
Getting to you: Beeston’s roads, tram and car parks
- The A52 runs along the northern edge of Beeston and Bramcote towards M1 Junction 25. Give us your direction of travel and the nearest junction.
- The A6005 (Queens Road, Bye Pass Road and Nottingham Road) is the main road through the town.
- The B6464 (High Road and Chilwell Road) runs through Beeston and Chilwell centres.
- The NET tram runs through Beeston, with stops including Beeston Centre, Chilwell Road and University Boulevard, out to the Toton Lane park and ride.
- Car parks: council, retail, station and campus car parks. Some have height barriers, so tell us if there’s one on your way in.
If you’ve broken down on a fast road such as the A52 or the M1, your safety comes first. Follow the Highway Code:
- If you can, get off the road to a safe place away from the traffic, and switch on your hazard lights.
- If it’s safe to get out, leave by the door on the side away from the traffic, and wait well away from the vehicle and the moving traffic, behind a barrier where there is one.
- If you can’t safely leave the vehicle and get well away from moving traffic, stay inside with your seatbelt and hazard lights on, and call 999.
Whether we can attend depends on exactly where you’ve stopped, safe access, and any police or traffic-officer instructions.

Before you book
Questions about recovery in Beeston
Can you recover my vehicle in Beeston?
Yes. Breakdown Recovery Nottingham recovers cars, vans and motorcycles in Beeston, Nottinghamshire, and the surrounding areas. Whether we can help depends on the exact location, the vehicle and what’s needed, so call with your postcode and we’ll confirm.
How much does recovery in Beeston cost, and when do I pay?
Recovery starts from £70, which is a starting price, not a fixed charge. We agree the full price for your job before we set off, and payment is due before dispatch.
What if roadside assistance doesn’t work or can’t be completed?
Sometimes a fix doesn’t work, or can’t be done at all, for example if the spare is unusable or a wheel can’t be removed. Before we set off, we’ll tell you what you pay if that happens, and quote for recovery from there.
How long will you take to reach me?
We’ll give you an estimated arrival time on the phone, based on your location, traffic and current jobs, and update you if it changes. We don’t promise fixed arrival times.
Can I travel in the recovery truck?
Up to two passengers can travel with us, agreed when you book. Tell us if you’re travelling with children, need a child seat, or have mobility needs.
Do I need to be there with the keys?
The owner, or someone the owner has authorised, needs to be there with the keys when we collect, unless something else is agreed in advance. A drop-off at a closed garage needs a key handover agreed before we set off.
Do I need AA or RAC cover to use you?
No. You pay for the recovery you need, with no membership. If you already have breakdown cover that includes recovery, check with that provider first so you don’t pay twice.
