Need car recovery? BRL arranges it right away

After an accident or a technical fault, it isn’t always safe or possible to drive on. In that case, BRL provides professional car recovery or towing. We collect your vehicle quickly and safely and take it to a body repair centre or a destination of your choice in South Holland. Transport anywhere in the Netherlands is also possible.

Emergency repair or replacement transport? We arrange that too

Sometimes the damage is limited. In that case, we can often get you back on the road at the scene with an emergency repair. Not possible? Then we take your vehicle to an affiliated body repair centre or a location of your choice. Depending on your policy, replacement transport may also be included, such as a rental car, taxi or public transport.

What does it cost to have your car recovered?

Many people wonder what car recovery or having a car towed costs. Good news: in most cases, these costs are fully covered by your car insurance. Your green card shows the phone number of the emergency assistance centre that acts on behalf of your insurer. As soon as you get in touch, the towing service is dispatched. You usually don’t have to pay anything upfront and everything is taken care of for you.

In almost all cases, your vehicle, including any trailer or caravan, may be transported once under your insurance cover to an address in the Netherlands. Here’s what else you need to know:

  • Do you choose a body repair centre affiliated with your insurer? Then you often benefit from extra advantages, such as replacement transport.
  • Would you rather choose a different body repair centre or your own address? That’s possible, but please discuss it with your insurer first.

Please note that some benefits may no longer apply if you deviate from the standard process, such as the right to a courtesy car or free transport. If in doubt, check with your insurer, so you know exactly where you stand in the event of a breakdown or damage. Our team is of course happy to help with any questions.

Frequently asked questions about car recovery
Can you take my car to the garage?

Yes, absolutely. BRL collects your car and transports it safely to a garage or another location of your choice. This is useful if your car no longer runs, is damaged or simply can’t go any further. We are available day and night to help quickly and make sure your vehicle is transported professionally.

Can you transport my car?

Yes, BRL can certainly transport your car. Whether you’ve broken down, your car no longer runs or it needs to go to another location: we collect your vehicle safely and transport it professionally, within the region or to a garage or other destination of your choice.

Can my car be temporarily stored with you?

Yes, that’s possible. If your car can’t go straight to a garage or final destination after a recovery or transport, BRL can store it safely for a while. That way, your car is protected until you know what the next step is.

My driver’s truck, van or car has sunk into soft ground. Can you pull it out?

Yes, we can certainly help with that. BRL can professionally pull out vehicles that are stuck or have sunk into soft ground, such as trucks, vans and cars. We have experience with these situations and the heavy recovery equipment to get the vehicle safely back on the road.

Can you lift my car off something?

Yes, we can. BRL can lift or tow away vehicles when a car is wedged in, badly parked, stuck or can no longer be driven. We have special recovery equipment to do this safely and in a controlled way.

My car won’t start. What now?

If your car won’t start, it’s best to call for help straight away. BRL can be on site quickly to help after a breakdown. If the car can’t be got going again on the spot, we recover it safely and take it to a garage or another location of your choice.

I’ve broken down by the roadside. Can you tow me?

Yes, BRL can help you straight away. If you’ve broken down by the roadside, we can be on site 24/7 to tow or recover your car. We then make sure the vehicle is transported safely to a garage or another destination of your choice.

My car has been towed to the motorway exit. Can you help me further?

Yes, we can certainly help you further. If your car has already been towed to a safe place, BRL can collect it there and take over the transport to a garage or another destination. That way, you’re not left stranded and your car still gets to where it needs to go professionally.

My car is stuck in the mud. Can you help me?

Yes, BRL can certainly help. If your car is stuck in the mud or won’t come free, we can come out to pull the vehicle out safely and get it back onto firm ground. We have experience with these situations and the right equipment to prevent damage.
