One Way Vehicle Rental
SDVH’s rental service also comes with the benefit of a one-way rental option. Not everyone has plans to make a return trip, so instead of driving back, we allow you to drop the vehicle at an office near your destination for a small fee or have one of our agents collect it.

With SDVH, your options aren’t just limited to the Ford Transit recovery truck. Our fleet offers you access to numerous vehicles. From tail lift vans and luxury cars like the C-Class to minibuses and even 44t sleeper cab tractors, we have the perfect vehicle for every task.
About The Ford Transit Recovery Truck
The recovery truck is based on the chassis of the Ford, a family of light commercial vehicles from Ford. While the Transit is primarily is cargo van, it is available in various other configurations, such as passenger vans, cutaway van chassis, and a flatbed chassis for pickup trucks and recovery trucks.
History of The Ford Transit Recovery Truck
Ford introduced the Transit in 1965 and it became a hit globally because of its versatility and reliability. The idea of using the Transit as a recovery truck, however, only started in the 1970s and 1980s. Following some improvements in engine performance, safety features and overall design, the Transit became more suitable for demanding roles, including vehicle recovery.
By the 1990s, Ford began to introduce special versions of the Transit, including models specifically designed for recovery operations. These models had stronger chassis and advanced towing capabilities.
Over the next two decades, the vehicle maker continued to improve engine efficiency and added some advanced safety features to the van. Today, the Ford Transit recovery truck continues to be a top choice for vehicle recovery services worldwide.
