Fleet Breakdown Cover Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. With our business breakdown cover we want to ensure that policy can be tailored to exactly meet the requirements of your business. To achieve this, we avoid adopting a ‘one size fits all’ approach and instead empower you with the flexibility to arrange the exact breakdown cover you require, on a vehicle-by-vehicle basis.

Knowing that businesses need to be able to be flexible to adapt to meet the changing market needs, our business breakdown cover for fleet vehicles allows for you to make amendments to your policy throughout the duration of your fleet breakdown cover.

Need to add European breakdown cover for one of your fleet cars? No problem! Need to amend a vehicle registration or add a new vehicle to your existing business breakdown cover policy? No issues there either. (Please note, an additional payment will be required for any upgrades made during the period of your policy schedule).
All our business breakdown policy holders have access to their own exclusive Business Lounge, enabling you to log in and view or amend your policy details online 24/7.

With a Start Rescue business breakdown cover policy, we are able to provide business fleet car breakdown cover as well as fleet breakdown cover for vans, motorcycles and trucks for:

  • * Vehicles up to 3.5 tonnes - can be covered in the UK and Europe 
  • * Vehicles up to 7.5 tonnes - can be covered in the UK.

We are unable to provide cover for vehicles with refrigerated loads, livestock, or hazardous chemicals, buses, coaches, minibuses, limousines or vehicles with more than ten seats, motor homes, horseboxes or agricultural machinery or any vehicle not included in the vehicle usage definition 

We know it’s not uncommon for people to use their vehicle for more than one type of work, and that’s ok.  For example, if you use your car for taxi services and food deliveries, we can still provide you with the appropriate business fleet breakdown cover.
When arranging your quote, simply select the ‘Courier / Goods delivery’ option to ensure you will be covered for a breakdown in either of these work scenarios.

The maximum number of claims/callouts you can make on your policy is limited to 300% of the number of vehicles on cover.

For example, the equivalent of one callout/claim in the period of insurance for a policy with one insured vehicle would represent a 100% usage rate out of 300% leaving 2 callouts/claims remaining. Another example is a policy with ten vehicles that makes 20 callouts/claims within one period of insurance would have a 200% usage rate out of 300% leaving 10 callouts/claims remaining.

For Multiple vehicle policies, no more than four callouts/claims can be made against any individual vehicle during the policy period.
