24/7 dispatch from our Redruth base
Why this matters in Redruth
Redruth's nearest A30 access is around 0 miles away at Redruth, which is the route our recovery truck takes for most call-outs to A30 near Avers roundabout or the A30.
When accident recovery non fault is called in Redruth, we route off the A30 via the A3047, head for Heartlands, and finalise the exact pickup at Pool roundabout or Tolgus Hill.
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 Redruth
Do I pay if my non-fault accident is in Redruth?▼
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
