The AA offer accident cover but you have to pay extra for it. The RAC do it for free on all policies:

http://www.rac.co.uk/insurance/accident-legal/accident-care/

"Been in an accident?
Get instant help - with every RAC Breakdown policy.

We'll arrange recovery of your vehicle."
 
Depends on the car. I've always used breakdown as it wasn't worth claiming on the insurance and I didn't want to get them involved. If it had been a good car I would have called the insurance people.
 
I smashed my car into a kerb, years ago.

Phoned Green Flag, who came and towed my car down the road. Never even considered phoning the insurance, as there was no damage to anything other than my car.
 
I called the AA when I banged mine up but they do stipulate they don't pick up crash wrecks any more.

that could explain it mine was years ago, aa recovered me home all 300 miles ish of it. stacked it over a RA and took out a few posts, called the aa, car was placed on a dolly and was dragged home took ages 50 mph tops all the way home.


so I suppose if they dont do it any more the the insurance will get the call or I arrange it myself, how much could it be??


bullit
 
AA recovered me 40 miles for free with a little sweet talking. If you don't ask, you don't get :).

Most breakdown services exclude recovery after an accident.

Correct.

Police will also most likley be made aware of more serious accidents (Espcially if other Emergency Services go)

If the car is either:

A) Causing an obstruction to traffic flow
B) A danger to the public

The Police are obliged to name a recovery firm to remove the vehicle on your behalf if you are unable to get the car shifted :)

If it was un-drivable one of the 2 above normally apply, if not both :)

This is what happened when a friend parked his clio in a tree. The police arranged a local recovery firm to pull retrieve the car and the cost was claimed from his insurance
