Tow Truck hire - frequently asked questions
What is the difference between a tow truck and a recovery truck?
In the UK, tow trucks lift the front axle and tow a vehicle with two wheels on the road. Recovery trucks (flatbed transporters) carry the vehicle completely off the ground, which is safer for all-wheel-drive vehicles and low cars.
Do I need a special licence to hire a tow truck?
Tow trucks typically fall under the 7.5-tonne category, which requires a C1 licence (obtained after passing the C1 test). Some lighter recovery vehicles may be driveable on a category B licence if under 3,500 kg.
Can I hire a tow truck for personal use?
Yes - tow trucks can be hired by individuals for vehicle relocation, auction collection, or moving a non-running vehicle. Verify your insurance covers operating such a vehicle.
