The Website is very user friendly and informative. Haven't had to call on them this past year but previously when we have they have been very professional and helpful. Very impressive company which I would highly recommend

I have called you out twice since joining and both times they arrived in a pickup vehicle. The first time was in 2018 during the big freeze and it turned out I only had a flat battery. The second time a few months back they brought their pickup into a major supermarket and didnt even attempt to repair my car but just loaded it up. Surely a man and a van should have made some attempt to repair it.

I’ve been with start rescue for around 4 years and just renewed again. Fortunately I’ve never had to use them for a breakdown so I cannot comment on what their breakdown or recovery service is (hence why only 3 stars given). Regarding price they’ve always been excellent 3* cover which includes onward travel and home start came in at £67.08 this year for equivalent RAC cover taken out via my insurer at the time of insuring the vehicle was an additional £100. Yes I understand RAC & AA use their own staff whereas other breakdown agents such as Start Rescue use whomever is available but I didn’t consider that paying an extra 50% was worth it. I like the idea behind the app to report breakdowns as the last thing you want if you do breakdown, is to be waiting in a phone queue watching your phone battery deplete when you would probably sooner let friends and loved ones be aware of what has happened. So in a nutshell, good value and features but I cannot vouch for the quality of breakdown service as so far I haven’t needed to use it (fingers crossed 🤞 that continues).
