I can't comment or judge at this early stage of starting my policy with Start-Rescue, but the application process and cost of the plan I took is quite competitive in the current marketplace, which I hope Start will live up to its current reputation -- i.e. when I come to need your services.

As a new member, I am concerned about the lack of easy documentation like a credit card size ID needed when contacting the company for service or any other requirements.

Hi Anton, thank you for your feedback. You are correct in that you are unable to change from vehicle to personal cover midway through a policy, you do have the option of starting a new policy from the time the current policy expires. If you would like us to look into your policy and the possibility of taking out a personal cover then please don't hesitate to contact us. All contact options are detailed within the 'Contact' section on our website, you can even provide your details through the website and we will contact you at a time to suit you. Best wishes the Start Rescue team.

Hi, thank you for taking the time to comment and leave a review, renewing customers always receive a renewal savings that's applied to their quote, ensuring you pay less than a new customer for a like for like quote, however if you are unhappy with your quote then we always welcome customers to get in touch, we will always see if there is anything further we can do for you. Best wishes the Start Rescue team.

So this is a mixed review. Having used START a couple of times, the outcomes were hugely different. On the first occasion it was a swift response within 40 minutes and I was satisfied with the service. The recent rescue however was a very different experience. A catalogue of errors and lack of communication led to a 5hr plus wait, and a missed event at my end costing me £100. Sadly not the review I'd like to have written. I have recently renewed on the hope that this was a one off.

I can only give 3 stars as I have never haad the misfortune to use START RESCUE in the 12 or so years I have been using them, so really it's an unknown value

Looking forward to a great experience with Start Rescue. Start Rescue have had glowing report and endorsed by "Which", one hopes that they can maintained the service when and if I sanction a rescue.

I signed up to Start Rescue yesterday and you're already asking for a review. Okay, signing up was straight forward over the internet and the price looked competitive.

Hard to rate really as not had to use the service (hopefully won't have to in the future). The online renewal was nice and easy, not a lot else I can say. "The proof is in the pudding" as we say here, if and when I need your service. Watch out for my review then 👍

I've used simpler web sites but got it done. The layout is too busy. Keep it simple.

Review request received hours after policy started, so this is a review of taking out a policy. This was fine, my annoyance was that it appears the start date will be the day the policy is applied for until you get to the final page of the application. I waited until the day I needed the policy to start and then found out that the earliest start time is 24 hours after taking out the policy. Start Rescue - why not make this work like other insurances - e.g. car and home - where the start date is selected someone near the start of the order process?

Impressed by the reviews from customers who have already experienced breakdowns. Really hoping to feel safer and in good hands if I should need help.
