Crashed in Mullion? Insurance-Approved Recovery & Transport
After a non-fault accident in Mullion, your insurer will usually arrange recovery — but only if the vehicle is safe to leave at the scene. If it's blocking a road, leaking fluids, or in a dangerous position, we'll uplift immediately and bill the at-fault party's insurer or yours direct.

Why this matters in Mullion
Mullion's nearest A30 access is around 14 miles away at Camborne, which is the route our recovery truck takes for most call-outs to A3083 to Lizard or the A3083.
For collections in Mullion we usually approach via the B3296, with Poldhu Beach acting as the marker drivers give over the phone and Mullion village the most common loading point.
What NOT to do
- Don't drive a vehicle with airbag deployment, fluid leaks, or visible structural damage
- Don't leave the scene without exchanging full details — that's a separate offence
- Don't accept a verbal repair offer from the other driver instead of going through insurance
- Don't let an unbranded 'recovery' company that turns up uninvited take your car — they often charge storage daily
What to do right now
- 1Check everyone's OK and call 999 if anyone is injured or the road is blocked
- 2Take photographs of vehicle positions, damage, and the road layout before anything moves
- 3Exchange details with the other driver — name, address, insurer, and vehicle reg
- 4Call your insurer's emergency line, then call us — we'll coordinate uplift
- 5Don't admit fault at the scene, regardless of how clear it looks
FAQs — accident recovery in Mullion
Do I pay if my non-fault accident is in Mullion?▼
If you have comprehensive insurance with breakdown/accident recovery, the cost is usually billed to your insurer directly. We'll quote you upfront before dispatch and confirm what your policy covers.
Will you photograph the scene for my insurance claim?▼
Yes — our driver will timestamp photos of vehicle positions, damage, debris, and road layout before we uplift. These often make the difference in disputed liability claims.
What if my car is leaking fuel or oil after the accident?▼
We carry spill kits and treat fluid leaks as a priority — both for safety and to avoid you being charged for road-cleaning by Highways. Call us immediately if there's a leak.
Can you store my damaged car until the insurer arranges inspection?▼
Yes — secure overnight storage at our Redruth yard. The first 24 hours are included in the recovery; daily storage applies after that and is usually claimable.
Equipment we bring
- •Flatbed recovery with winch for non-rolling damaged vehicles
- •Spill kit for fluid leaks at the scene
- •Photographic documentation kit (timestamped scene shots for insurer)
- •Secure overnight storage at our Redruth yard
What affects the cost
- •Insurer-approved recovery is usually paid directly by the insurance — no out-of-pocket
- •Out-of-hours accident response carries a small premium
- •Storage fees apply if the vehicle isn't claimed within 7 days
