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 Glasgow: where it usually goes wrong

The M8 runs straight through the middle of Glasgow, which is unusual and useful — a driver can often be with you in minutes. It is also unusual in the wrong way: the slip roads are short, some junctions are barely a few hundred metres apart, and the Kingston Bridge section carries enormous volumes of traffic with very little room to stop.

The M8 through the city and the Kingston Bridge

Short slips, dense traffic and little hard shoulder in places. If you can reach a slip road, take it, even if it is not your junction.

The M74 and M77 approaches

Faster and more open, with proper hard shoulders. Easier to reach you safely, though the traffic is quick and standing close to the car is not sensible.

The Clydeside Expressway and A82

The road out towards Dumbarton and the Loch. Cars heading for the hills often break down here rather than in the hills.

Paisley, East Kilbride and the outer towns

Ordinary suburban recovery, mostly starting problems and tyres.

Worth knowing. Junction numbers on the M8 through the city are very close together. Give the driver the one you last passed and which way you are heading.
Questions

Before you call.

It depends on who is out. The map shows every driver live in Glasgow 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 Glasgow regularly cover Paisley, East Kilbride, Hamilton, Motherwell, Cumbernauld, Clydebank and Renfrew, and the main routes — the M8, M74, M77 and M80, the A82, A737 and Clydeside Expressway.
