They were easy to contact (I used their app). I received a quick response. I was kept informed as to service ETA. The breakdown technician contacted me. The agent called me. It was an excellent experience. Thanks.

Burst a tyre on a flooded pothole in a remote country lane at night.

Start Rescue sent out a local recovery garage, who were with me in 35 minutes, despite having to detour round road closures.

Start Rescue App accurately locates your breakdown.

Another car hit the same pothole just before me & they waited 4 hours for the AA to send someone !

I have used RAC & AA in the past but Start Rescue are far quicker to send someone out.

Thrilled with the service I've received over the years.

I've been thrilled with the service I've received over the years. The representative I spoke to this time was exceptional, thoroughly explaining everything as we went along. Their politeness and helpfulness were especially appreciated, given my circumstances. The technician who came to my aid during terrible weather was also wonderful, getting my vehicle started in no time. From beginning to end, the entire process was smooth and stress-free. I can't recommend this service highly enough. Thank you for all you did to help me get back on the road!

Exceptional support from the technician

Exceptional support from the attending technician. He visited two tyre repair centers, but the closest couldn’t assist as they were closing soon, so he kindly took me to another location. The arrival time was impressive, around 35 minutes after I requested help, compared to the 90 minutes initially indicated. This is a stark contrast to a well-known service that took over 7 hours for a flat battery! I am very pleased to wholeheartedly recommend the service.

Exceptional assistance

Exceptional assistance from the attending technician. He tried two tyre repair centers, but the nearest couldn’t help as they were closing early, so he kindly took me to another. The arrival time was fantastic, about 35 minutes after I requested help, compared to the 90 minutes initially given. This is a significant improvement over a well-known service that took over 7 hours for a flat battery! I am very happy to fully recommend the service.

Excellent service from the support team

Excellent service from the support team today! My wife’s car tyre burst due to debris on the road. We were stuck on a verge close to busy traffic. They contacted a local recovery service, which reached out to us promptly with an ETA. The support team provided updates every 15 minutes and coordinated with the authorities to close a lane. The driver delivered the car home. I’ve been with this service for over 5 years and have never had to use them before, but we cannot fault the service we received from them and the local recovery team.

Not worth the investment

I was searching for breakdown cover as a self-employed contractor and explored various services. After reading reviews, I decided to try this service. I received a couple of missed calls and finally spoke with them today, but the news wasn’t great. They wanted to know how I would use my car and ensured I chose the right cover, which I did. However, when I asked if I would be taken home if my car couldn’t be fixed, they said no. They would take me to a local garage first, and if they couldn’t fix it, then I would be taken home. This is impractical for me; if my car broke down in the city, I would have to pay to stay there until the garage fixed it. It would be cheaper to hire a single truck to take my car home than to wait for repairs.

Impressive service

Impressive service, and the app is quite user-friendly. The location wasn’t ideal, but adding a new location was simple enough. The recovery arrived on time and was tailored for motorcycles, which was very helpful.
