Jump Start
Flat battery at the worst possible time - sorted fast.
A flat battery doesn't care whether you're late for work or parked on a country lane on a Sunday night. Our operators carry professional jump start equipment for all vehicle types - petrol, diesel, modern stop-start, EV 12V auxiliary and 24V commercial van systems. They'll get you started, run a battery health check on-site, and advise if a replacement is needed.

- Advice on replacement if needed
- Average 22-minute arrival
- Full price fixed from £49
Tyre Help
Blowout or slow puncture - we come to you.
Whether it's a sudden blowout on the motorway or a slow puncture you noticed in the morning, we get an operator to you fast. If you have a spare, we'll fit it. If you don't, we'll repair or assess the damage and advise on the safest next step. We'll also do a full pressure check on all four tyres before we leave.

Locking your keys in your car is one of those things that feels unbelievably avoidable - until it happens to you. Our operators are trained in non-destructive entry methods and carry specialist tools to get you back in without touching your lock or window. Fastest average response on the platform at around 19 minutes.

Fuel Delivery
Wrong fuel or simply ran dry? We bring the right fuel to you.
Running out of fuel happens. So does misfuelling - putting petrol in a diesel or vice versa. Either way, we've got you. Our operators carry the right fuel type (petrol or diesel as specified) to get you to the nearest garage safely. In misfuelling cases, we'll assess the situation and advise the right course of action to protect your engine.

Breakdown Assistance
Something's wrong but you don't know what. We find out.
Your car's cut out, a warning light's come on, or something just doesn't feel right. Our operators carry diagnostic tools and have hands-on experience with a wide range of vehicle faults - from engine and electrical issues to common mechanical failures. They'll aim to fix it at the roadside wherever possible, or advise on the best next step.
- Full on-site vehicle diagnosis
- Roadside repair attempt for common faults
- Engine, electrical and mechanical faults covered
- Honest advice - repair vs tow recommendation
- Average 28-minute arrival
Vehicle Towing
Can't fix it at the roadside? We tow it wherever you need.
When a car can't be fixed at the roadside, it needs to go somewhere. Tell us where - your local garage, your home address, or a specialist workshop - and we'll get it there safely. Up to 15 miles is included in the base price, with additional mileage priced per mile and shown upfront before you confirm. No nasty surprises at the end.

What you get, every time
These aren't premium add-ons. They're standard on every TowManVan booking, every time.
Full price before you confirm
The exact cost is calculated in-app and locked before you tap confirm. No estimate ranges, no post-job invoice. What you see is what you pay.
DBS-checked, insured operator
Every single operator has passed a five-step vetting process: ID and DBS check, DVLA verification, insurance confirmation, vehicle inspection, platform induction.
Live operator tracking
From the moment your operator is dispatched, their live position shows on a map. Watch them travel to you and see the ETA update in real time.
Secure in-app payment
Card, Apple Pay, Google Pay - all processed securely in-app. No cash exchanges at the roadside. Clean, safe, fully digital.
24/7 customer support
In-app chat and phone support available around the clock. If anything isn't right before, during, or after your booking, our team is there.
Verified ratings on every job
Every completed job is rated by the customer. Low-rated operators are reviewed and removed from the platform. Standards are maintained actively.
Why drivers choose us
Traditional UK breakdown cover hasn't meaningfully changed in decades. TowManVan was built to fix that.
No membership. Ever.
The RAC and AA charge £120–£220 per year whether you break down once or never. TowManVan charges nothing until you need a service. For most UK drivers who break down fewer than once a year, that means saving over £100 every year.
Price transparency that's actually transparent
Other services give you a price range, add a callout fee, or surprise you with the bill after. TowManVan calculates your exact price in-app based on your location and service. That number is locked before you confirm.
Operators you can actually trust
Not every recovery operator in the UK is vetted. TowManVan's five-step process - DBS check, DVLA, insurance, vehicle inspection, platform training - means every operator who shows up has been checked, verified, and qualified.
Response times that respect your time
Traditional breakdown cover means 45 minutes on hold, then a 90-minute wait window. TowManVan dispatches the nearest available operator automatically and gets them moving in seconds. Avg arrival: under 30 minutes.
Live tracking, not a vague ETA
When something goes wrong with your car, uncertainty makes it worse. TowManVan shows your operator's exact live position on a map - updated every few seconds. You know who's coming, where they are, and when they'll arrive.
One app for recovery and removals
Other platforms only do recovery, or only do removals. TowManVan does both - and connects them to the same vetted operator network, the same app, the same upfront pricing model. One platform for everything.
Across the UK - growing weekly
TowManVan is live in major UK cities with operator coverage expanding constantly. Open the app to see real-time availability in your area.
