🇮🇹 Vehicle Recovery & Transport: Italy to UK
Fast, Professional Repatriation for Cars, Vans & Caravans
Has your car or van broken down in Italy, or have you been involved in a road accident? Oxford Breakdown Recovery specialises in rescuing motorists with broken down or accident-damaged vehicles in Italy and repatriating them back home to the UK. We deliver directly to your home address or chosen garage, typically within a few short days.
Overcoming the Stress of an Italian Breakdown
Mechanical failure or an accident is stressful anywhere, but facing car trouble in Italy—with the complexity of Italian garages and the vast distance from home—can feel overwhelming. Many UK insurance policies surprisingly do not include vehicle repatriation back to Britain. Even when they do, you are often expected to wait several weeks while your vehicle is moved through slow commercial "groupage" networks.
We Have The Solution: We provide rapid deployment of our recovery vehicles on a dedicated basis. Whether you are a private family on holiday, on a business trip with your van, or an insurance provider needing a client’s car brought back, we can rescue and repatriate your vehicle quickly. We focus on getting your vehicle and equipment home safely and efficiently.
Comprehensive Italy-UK Towing Services
Our specialist fleet handles everything from regular cars and 4x4s to luxury cars and classic Italian imports, as well as LWB vans, campervans, and motorhomes. We can tow your caravan or boat trailer back home alongside your vehicle, ensuring nothing is left behind.
Stranded in Italy? Contact Our Hotline
From the Alps in the North to Tuscany and the Amalfi Coast in the South, we are ready to deploy. Please send us your vehicle details, damage description, Italian location, and UK destination for an immediate fixed-price quote. For motorhomes, modified vehicles, or accident damage, please include photos so we can dispatch the correct equipment.
Northern Italy & Alps
Specialist recovery from the Italian Lakes (Garda, Como, Maggiore) and ski regions like Cortina and Courmayeur.
UK to Italy Export
Professional collection and delivery for cars, vans, boats, and caravans purchased in the UK for export to any region in Italy. Whether you have purchased a vehicle in the UK or are moving to Italy, we can transport and deliver it for you.
Accident Management
Involved in a collision? We coordinate with Italian garages to release and repatriate your vehicle for UK insurance assessment and repairs.
Important: Autostrada Breakdowns
If you break down on an Italian motorway (Autostrada), you must use the official SOS phones. Only authorised Italian recovery operators are permitted to tow you off the motorway to a secure holding yard. Once your vehicle is off the motorway, Oxford Breakdown Recovery can then collect and repatriate it safely back to the UK.
