How the calculation works
A configurable call-out charge and per-mile range are adjusted for vehicle type, non-running condition and out-of-hours recovery.
Formula: Estimate range = (call-out charge + distance × mileage rate range) × applicable factors.
Worked example
A short local recovery starts with the configured call-out range; longer trips add the estimated mileage range.
What can affect the result?
Location safety, road type, vehicle condition, specialist equipment, destination, traffic and time of day affect the final price.
Frequently asked questions
