Why a flatbed makes the difference
Carried on the bed or dragged on two wheels: here is how the two methods compare.
How we do it
Flatbed recovery
Your vehicle is driven or winched onto the bed and strapped down.
- All wheels are off the road for the whole journey
- Suitable for damaged or non-rolling vehicles
- Kinder to gearboxes, drivelines and tyres on long trips
- The same truck carries tractors, implements and site equipment
Hook-and-chain towing
The vehicle is lifted at one end and dragged on the other wheels.
- Wheels turn on the road, adding wear to tyres and drivetrain
- Poor choice for automatics and 4x4s
- Not suitable for crash-damaged or low-clearance vehicles
- Cannot move tractors or heavy machinery

How we work out your quote
Every job is different, so we price the job rather than guess. Here is what goes into it.
Have these ready when you call
- Where the vehicle or equipment is now
- Where it needs to go
- What it is, with a photo if possible
- Whether it starts, rolls and steers
Distance
The route from pick-up to drop-off is the biggest part of the price.
Type and size of load
A saloon car, a minibus and a tractor each need different handling and equipment.
Condition of the load
A vehicle that cannot roll or steer takes more time and effort to load safely.
Access and timing
Tight yards, rough ground or recovery from a ditch can change the work involved.

Broken down? Do this while you wait
Six simple steps that keep you and your passengers safe until the truck arrives.
Switch on your hazards
Make your vehicle as visible as possible, especially at night or in poor light.
Get off the road
Move as far onto the shoulder as you safely can, away from passing traffic.
Passengers out safely
If it is safe, let everyone wait well clear of the road, behind a barrier or off the verge.
Set up a warning triangle
If you carry one, place it well behind your vehicle so drivers see you in time.
Never stand in traffic
Do not work between your vehicle and moving cars. Wait where you are protected.

Frequently asked questions
Yes. Road Rescue Zw is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week. You can call or message us at any time, including nights, weekends and public holidays.
We transport cars, SUVs, minibuses and vans, as well as farm equipment such as tractors and implements, and mining and construction equipment. If you are unsure whether your load fits, send us a photo and we will tell you.
Call or WhatsApp with your pick-up location, destination and what needs moving. A photo of the vehicle or machine helps us respond faster and more accurately.
It is carried. We use flatbed trucks, so your vehicle is loaded onto the bed and secured with straps rather than dragged behind the truck.
We serve customers across Zimbabwe. Tell us where you are and where the load is going and we will confirm the details with you.
Move to a safe place away from traffic if you can, switch on your hazard lights, and keep your phone nearby. Share your live location on WhatsApp so the driver can find you quickly.
