To get your car back in Cyberpunk 2077, you have two primary methods: use the vehicle call function or retrieve it from a specific location after it's destroyed. The quickest way is to open your menu, go to the 'Vehicles' tab, select the car you want, and use the 'Call Vehicle' option. It will then spawn nearby. If your car has been wrecked, it will be automatically delivered to your primary apartment's parking garage after a short time.
Vehicle Recovery Methods
| Method | How It Works | In-Game Time / Cost | Key Requirement |
|---|---|---|---|
| Call Vehicle | Menu-based summoning | Instant / Free | Must be owned and not destroyed |
| Garage Retrieval | Automatic after destruction | ~5-10 min / Free | Visit your apartment's parking spot |
| Mission Replay | Re-acquire via specific quest | Varies / Free | Only for unique cars like the Porsche 911 |
| Fixer Repurchase | Buy again from a website | Instant / Full Price | Applies to Delamain cabs if destroyed |
| Reload Save | Revert to a previous game state | N/A / Free | A last resort for bugged vehicles |
Sometimes, a car icon might not appear on the map. This is often a temporary glitch. Try fast-traveling to a different district or simply walking a block away and trying the call function again. For unique vehicles obtained through quests, like the free Caliburn or the Porsche 911, if they go missing, you may need to revisit the location where you found them or progress further in the associated questline. The game's autosave feature is your friend; if a car seems permanently gone, loading a recent save is a reliable fix.

Just open your phone. Seriously, it's that easy. Swipe over to the car icon, pick your ride, and tell it to come to you. It'll show up down the street in like ten seconds. If it's totaled, don't sweat it. Just go about your business for a few minutes, then check your apartment's parking spot. It'll be there, good as new. The game basically handles it for you.

I remember panicking the first time my Quadra Type-66 vanished after a messy shootout with the Maelstrom. I thought I'd lost it for good. I opened the vehicle menu, half-expecting nothing to be there, but it was just grayed out. A tooltip said it was "moved to storage." So I fast-traveled back to my place in Megabuilding H10, took the elevator down to the garage, and there it was, all repaired. The system is surprisingly forgiving; it understands that in Night City, cars are meant to be driven hard.

The retrieval system operates on a simple logic. Owned vehicles exist in a digital inventory. The 'Call' function transmits a signal to the Autonomous Vehicle Delivery System, a background game mechanic. If the vehicle's integrity drops to zero, it's flagged as destroyed. After a cooldown period, its asset is reset and relocated to a static storage cell—your designated parking space. This prevents permanent loss of player assets without resorting to manual save scumming, ensuring gameplay flow isn't interrupted by a single bad encounter.
