Imagine this: you are enjoying a fantastic road trip through France, touring the German autobahns, or skiing in the Italian Alps. Suddenly, your car decides it has had enough. A breakdown, an accident, or just a mechanical issue that local garages cannot fix quickly. It is a stressful situation, far from home, and you might not be fluent in the local language.
This is where Black & White Recovery steps in. We offer a comprehensive European vehicle recovery service, ensuring your car, and you, get back to the UK safely and without extra hassle. From the moment you call, we take control, making the process as smooth as possible.

You can relax, knowing experienced professionals are looking after your vehicle.

We can transport your car securely back to the UK, whether it is destined for your driveway, a local garage, or an insurance-approved repair centre. We offer a reliable, fully insured service at a fair, agreed price, giving you peace of mind during a difficult time. Let us take the stress out of your European car recovery.
Your Local Partner, Global Reach
While we are proudly based in Maidenhead and serve our local community, our capabilities extend far beyond the Thames Valley. Our European recovery service is a testament to our commitment to helping our customers, wherever their travels may take them. We bring the same straight-talking, human approach to international recoveries as we do to local ones. When you are far from home and facing vehicle trouble, having a trusted, British-based company on your side makes all the difference. We are here to get your holiday, or your business trip, back on track by bringing your vehicle home.
Good to know
Always have your breakdown cover, insurance, and our Black & White Recovery number saved in your phone and on a piece of paper. International roaming charges can be an issue, so know how to contact us.
If you are involved in an accident, take clear photos of the scene, vehicle damage, and any other parties involved. Collect contact details and witness statements if possible. This helps with insurance claims.
If your car breaks down, especially on a motorway, ensure you and your passengers are in a safe location away from traffic. Use a warning triangle and wear a high-visibility vest as required by local laws.
Familiarise yourself with the basic driving laws and compulsory equipment for the countries you are visiting. This includes items like breathalysers, first-aid kits, and spare bulbs, which can vary.
