What does IVR qualified mean?
The Institute of Vehicle Recovery (IVR) is the professional body for people working in roadside recovery in the UK.
An IVR qualified driver has been trained to recover vehicles safely and professionally. That protects you, your vehicle and other road users.
Note: IVR is a recovery qualification. It covers safe recovery work, not mechanical repairs.
What our drivers are trained in
- โ Roadside and motorway safety: working safely next to live traffic, on hard shoulders and verges
- โ Crane work: lifting and moving vehicles with recovery cranes
- โ First aid: helping people at the scene until help arrives
- โ Safe loading: securing vehicles so they arrive with no extra damage
Why it matters to you
- โ Your safety comes first. A trained driver sets up the scene properly and keeps you away from traffic.
- โ Less risk of damage. Correct lifting and strapping protects your car, van, truck or coach.
- โ Fewer delays. Trained drivers get the job done right the first time.
- โ Peace of mind for businesses. Fleet managers and coach operators can trust the people moving their vehicles.
