Ms

I found Start Rescue nine year ago when I was looking to reduce my outgoings. They offered many very helpful features for less than the big boys. I have never been disappointed by their professionalism, courtesy and ease of working. When I have needed help they got me going as quickly as possible without fuss. When I have needed to make an equiry the customer service members have been polite and very helpful. What I value most is the follow up call to make sure I got home safely. I have recommneded Start Rescue to family and friends who switched and are very happy to have done so. Keep up the great work.

It was easy to join. Hopefully I wil not have the need to use Start Rescue but the price for comprehensive cover was very competitive.
