Vehicle Recovery Point
Vehicle Recovery Point
Vehicle Recovery Point is the ground vehicle recovery marker in CIT. It is the round red and yellow point that players can stand on to recover vehicles there.
Overview
A `Vehicle Recovery Point` is used when:
- you recover a vehicle without `VIP`
- your vehicle cannot be brought directly to your location
- you go to a recovery marker and spawn the vehicle there
This page is about normal ground vehicle recovery points.
It does not cover:
- aircraft recovery points
- plane recovery points
How vehicle recovery works
To recover a vehicle normally:
- open
F2 - or use
/vehicles - select the vehicle
- click `Recover`
You can also use:
/recover
This recovers the vehicle currently selected in `F2`.
When a vehicle goes to a recovery point
Your vehicle goes to a `Vehicle Recovery Point` instead of spawning near you if:
- you do not have `VIP` Hours
- you are wanted
- your `VIP` Hours ended
- you took damage recently
Without `VIP`, recovery goes to:
- the recovery point
- or the nearest allowed spawner instead
How to use a Vehicle Recovery Point
To use a `Vehicle Recovery Point`:
- stand on the recovery point marker
- recover the vehicle there
The listed hospital recovery points work like this.
Examples:
- stand on the recovery point at `Santa Flora Hospital` and you can recover any vehicle there without `VIP`
- stand on the recovery point at `All Saints Hospital` and you can recover any vehicle there without `VIP`

Difference from aircraft recovery points

Aircraft recovery is handled separately through:
- aircraft recovery points
- plane recovery points
Example:
- the plane recovery point at `LV Hospital` is for aircraft and helicopters, including vehicles like the `Hydra`
Notes
- `Vehicle Recovery Point` is the normal place where recovered ground vehicles are sent when they cannot be brought to you.
- `VIP` recovery can bring a vehicle to your location, except when you are wanted.
- If you are wanted, recently damaged, or no longer have `VIP` Hours, the vehicle goes to the recovery point instead.
- Hospital recovery points let you recover any vehicle there without `VIP`.
