A note from our founder
Why I started
RecoBuddy.
Making vehicle recovery and transport simpler, one journey at a time.
I started RecoBuddy because arranging vehicle recovery or transport can be far more complicated than it should be. I wanted to replace endless calls and repeated explanations with one clear place to post a job, compare quotes and choose a provider. Whether you've broken down or bought a car miles away, the process should feel straightforward.
Who carries out the transport?
Your chosen independent provider carries out the move. RecoBuddy is the marketplace that helps you request quotes, choose a provider and manage your booking.
Can my business book a one-off move?
Yes. RecoBuddy supports single vehicle collections as well as regular business movements. You do not need to manage a large fleet to use the platform.
Do I have to accept a quote?
No. Compare the quotes you receive and decide whether one meets your requirements. You choose the provider and when to proceed.
Are providers checked?
Providers complete RecoBuddy’s onboarding and verification requirements before receiving full access to jobs. Checks may cover identity, business, insurance and vehicle documents.
