Mobile Applications
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 some 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.
- Customers with Speech or Hearing difficulties can report their vehicle breakdown through the Mobile App and use the additional notes section for special requests such as ‘Please only communicate by text message’.
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.

Services for registration were excellent. The offers were presented properly to enable customers to make educated choices, and best requirements for their needs. I would definitely recommend start rescue to my family and friends.

Policy price is very competitive but I feel your website should inform customers of your notification of your 24 hr delay (before a new policy takes effect) PRIOR to the customer signing up & paying for the policy & not after that. Also a query of your request for customers to keep a copy of the Policy Terms & Conditions (see end note Policy Schedule) in their vehicle to ensure the customer is fully aware of their cover entitlement That is a 16 page document! Would not the Vehicle Breakdown Insurance Cover Document Information Document (at 2 pages) detailing that not suffice?!
