How to grow your payments app with towing and vehicle recovery firms

Towing and vehicle recovery firms move broken-down, crashed and abandoned vehicles, often at night, on busy roads or far from a cash machine. Private drivers usually pay at the roadside or when the car is dropped off, while garages, dealers and fleets often run an account. Some firms also charge daily storage for cars left in their yard. A payments app that takes payment at the roadside by phone or link, handles storage fees and makes trade accounts easy to settle can win these firms, and every driver who pays sees your app.

Take payment at the roadside
Sending a payment link to the driver's phone before the car is loaded means the job is paid on the spot, with no cash and no chasing later.

Handle storage and trade accounts
A link for storage fees when the owner collects, and a single monthly link for each garage or fleet, keeps money coming in without paperwork.
Grow through garages and drivers
Recovery firms work with garages, body shops and insurers every day. When they get paid through your app, the businesses around them see it working.
