How it works

Three taps to a driver.

Built for the moment you are stood at the roadside, so nothing gets in the way.

1

See who is near you

Allow location or type a postcode. The map shows every driver live nearby and how many miles away each one is.

2

Call the driver

Tap Call and speak to them directly. Agree the price between you before they set off.

3

Watch them arrive

Give the driver your six-digit code and follow them on the map, with a live arrival time, until they reach you.

Why people trust it

A live map only works if it is true.

So we check every driver, and the map only ever shows drivers who are actually out.

Checked before they go live

Driving licence, photo ID, insurance certificate and photographs of every truck, reviewed by our team. Nobody appears on the map until they pass.

Real positions, right now

Drivers share their position while they work. If a truck is on the map, it is out and reachable — not a listing last updated years ago.

Reviews that are checked

Only customers who completed a job can leave a rating, and each one is looked at before it counts.

The price is yours to agree

We are not in the middle of the payment. No commission, no booking fee, no membership — which is also why it stays cheaper than cover.

Recovery in Nottingham: where it usually goes wrong

Nottingham sits a few miles east of the M1, connected by a handful of busy A roads that carry everything the motorway sends towards the city. Most fast-road call-outs happen on those connections rather than on the motorway itself, and the tram network shapes what a recovery truck can do in the centre.

The M1 between junctions 24 and 26

Junction 25 is the main way in and is busy from early. East Midlands Airport traffic adds to it at both ends of the day.

The A52 and Clifton Boulevard

The main east-west route through the city, fast in places and with few safe stopping points at the Queen's Medical Centre end.

The A453 and A60

Long approaches with steady traffic. Straightforward for recovery, provided you can get onto the verge.

The tram routes and the city centre

Where the tram runs, a recovery truck often cannot stop. If you are on or beside a tram line, say so immediately.

Worth knowing. On a tram route, blocking the line turns a breakdown into an incident. Tell the driver straight away.
Questions

Before you call.

It depends on who is out. The map shows every driver live in Nottingham right now and the app shows how many miles away each one is, so you can see before you call rather than being given a time by a call centre.

You agree the price with the driver on the phone before they set off. RecoverQ adds nothing to it — no booking fee, no commission and no membership.

Every driver is checked before they can go live: driving licence, photo ID, insurance certificate and photographs of each truck, all reviewed by our team.

No. Open the map, see who is live, and call. If the driver takes the job you get a six-digit code and can watch them on their way.

Anywhere a driver is live. Drivers in Nottingham regularly cover Derby, Mansfield, Beeston, West Bridgford, Hucknall, Long Eaton and Newark, and the main routes — the M1 between junctions 24 and 27, the A52, A453, A610 and A60.
