The Five Things Recovery Needs to Know in Derry/Londonderry
Car Tow NI, a Belfast-based vehicle recovery company, covers motorbike recovery across Derry/Londonderry and the rest of Northern Ireland. Five details cover nearly every recovery call: the location, the vehicle, the fault, whether the wheels still turn and where it needs to go.
What information should you give when you ring?
Most calls need the same five pieces of information: the location, the make Car Tow NI Derry/Londonderry and model, the fault, whether the wheels turn, and the destination. With those five answers a truck can be sent straight away.
Flag up anything the driver would want to know in advance. Low headroom, a lost key or a heavy load all change how it is done. Better said now than discovered later.
Does my AA breakdown cover motorbikes?
Only your own policy documents can answer that, because bike cover is usually a separate product or an added option rather than part of car cover. Check it before you need it, and check whether it includes recovery to a destination of your choosing.
How does insurance fit into accident recovery?
Take photographs before anything is moved, if it is safe to do so. Wide shots and close shots, the road, the damage and the position of both vehicles. Exchange details with the other driver.
Ring your insurer as soon as it is practical. Say where the vehicle has been taken, as it usually has to be looked at before anything is agreed. Car Tow NI covers the recovery side of that and moves the vehicle wherever it needs to go.
How much does it cost to get a car out of impound in the UK?
Release fees are set in regulations rather than by the yard, and storage is charged for every day the vehicle sits there. The pound or the police force holding it will give you the current figures, and collecting it promptly is the only way to keep them down.
How far does recovery reach from Belfast?
Car Tow NI runs from Belfast and reaches right across Northern Ireland. That takes in Derry/Londonderry, along with Belfast, Lisburn, Bangor and Newry, along with everywhere in between.
Distance is not really the issue. A vehicle can be moved from one end of Northern Ireland to the other, or across the water. The thing to settle first is where it is going and what that costs.
