Questions

I've broken down on the M61 — what should I do first?

Get off the motorway at the next exit or services if you safely can. If not, move onto the hard shoulder or into an emergency area, switch on your hazard lights, get out on the left away from traffic and wait behind the barrier. If you're stuck in a live lane or anyone is in danger, call 999.

How much does recovery from the M61 cost?

A local tow from the M61 to a nearby town starts from around £185 for a car. You see your exact fixed price — based on where you are and where the vehicle is going — before you book.

Can you find me if I don't know which junction I'm at?

Yes. Tap the booking button and your phone drops a pin at your exact position — including the direction you're travelling — so the driver comes to the right carriageway.

Do I pay before a driver is confirmed?

No. Your card is held when you book and only charged once a driver accepts.
