About Start Rescue

startrescue.co.uk was possibly the first breakdown company to offer an app that allows you to report your breakdown without having to make a telephone call.

Features:

Unlike other vehicle breakdown apps, the startrescue.co.uk app does not require you to make a telephone call to report your breakdown.

Once you have completed the simple registration process, reporting your breakdown takes less than 15 seconds.
When we receive your request for assistance we will already know who you are*, what type of policy you have*, where you are and what may be wrong with your vehicle.

Thanks to your smart phone’s built in GPS, we will know exactly where you are.

We will call you back and confirm your details, saving you the cost of the phone call.

If you are not a startrescue.co.uk member, we will provide you with a quotation for our Pay On Use assistance.

When help is on its way, you will receive a message stating who will be attending and how long they will be.

The app is free and available to both startrescue.co.uk members and non-members.

*Only startrescue.co.uk members will benefit from this feature.

Car battery went down today, I went to euro car parts and bought a brand new battery. Then I called to start-rescue, customer service were very helpful, they've arranged a mechanic who arrived within an hour and replaced the old battery with the new one, thank you!

I have had to use start rescue twice in 1 week here is the catch they don't tell you. You not allowed to use start rescue for same thing and you only get 6 call outs a year so after that you screwed. Also last time I used it they damaged my car and start rescue refuse to take responsibility for it they said I signed paper telling them I was happy with recovery. They wanted me to pay £120 to take my car 3 miles down the road back to my house for damage they caused so now I have to pay £1200 to fix my car.

My brother's car broke down last week and the recovery car was there exactly 20 mins after we informed them and provided great service. Now I am using Start-Rescue too for my car. Great service for low price

Suggestions: add a working link to your website. And include possibility of buying ad hoc services e.g. european breakdown straight from the app.

Development idea: maps; policy expiry date There were a few....the app is a good idea but it has too little usage other than a posh phone caller ehen you breakdown. I could put the number in my phone and save the app space for somethinf else. Please think outside the box....and maybe a little inside it too. Your peers expanded their apps long ago. Just a thought. ????

Excellent price for the cover I need. Didn't increase the price when I renewed either. I had to use the service once last year and received excellent customer service, even though the recovery truck got delayed on the motorway after an accident (which was genuine) and I had to wait. The customer care team called me every 20-30mins to make sure I was ok and to keep me updated with the ETA. Recovery operator was very friendly and took great care over my car and took me to my choice of garage. Highly recommended.

When i try to register it is asking me for a policy no. Havent got one yet. i have paid membership any ideas please. Got that sorted, thanks. Now have a bigger problem didn't realise until I started to read documents that it will only cover a car under ten years old. Mine is a Y reg. which I believe is 99/2000. Would I be able to claim a refund please. Thank you.
