Easy to join, but not the cheapest option. Joined because of "Which" recommendations.

New car with 1 year AA cover. Never used it. Renewal price scandalous. Never been with Start Rescue, and needless to say, I hope I never useit! Having said that, prices and cover are very competitive, which in todays price squeezes, it-s worth a punt.
