A fast road with a hard history
The A26 is the spine of County Antrim, carrying everything from Ballymena commuters to summer caravan traffic heading for Portrush. The dual-carriageway sections move fast; the remaining single-carriageway stretches — including the famous tree-lined Frosses — leave little margin when something goes wrong.
If you've crashed: get the car off the carriageway if it rolls, hazards on, and stand well clear — verges are narrow on the older sections. Injuries or a blocked road mean 999 before anything else.
Recovery that knows this road
Our recovery partners run the A26 constantly between Antrim, Ballymena, Ballymoney and Coleraine. Call 02890 024 744, tell us the stretch you're on — Teeshan, the Frosses, Glarryford, the Ballymoney bypass — and we'll dispatch immediately, 24/7.
Then the rest starts on the same call: like-for-like replacement car delivered to you, repairs booked, and the claim run against the at-fault driver's insurer at no cost to you.
Holiday traffic and tourist collisions
Summer weekends double the traffic and change its character — caravans, unfamiliar drivers, sudden braking for the Dark Hedges turn-off. If a visiting driver hit you, or you're the visitor whose trip just fell apart, we sort both sides of that story: recovery, a replacement to keep the holiday alive, and a claim that follows you home.

MOST COMMONLY ASKED QUESTIONS
We understand how overwhelming it can be. Here are answers to the questions we hear most often.
I hit a fallen branch on the Frosses and another car went into the back of me — who pays?
The driver who hit you from behind is almost always liable for that impact regardless of why you slowed or stopped. Debris-only damage is more complicated. Call us with the details and we'll untangle it honestly, free of charge.
How long would recovery take to reach the middle of the A26?
Our partners are based along the corridor, not just at the ends of it, and respond 24/7. Tell us your nearest junction or landmark and we'll give you a realistic ETA on the call — and stay in contact until the truck is with you.
Do you cover the A44 to Ballycastle and the coast roads too?
Yes — the whole Causeway Coast network, including the A44, the A2 coast road and everything around Bushmills and Ballycastle.
