From fast food to fast moving goods, we appreciate the how important it is for courier delivery drivers to be on the road and making deliveries on time.

Our specially tailored courier delivery breakdown service helps you to avoid suffering financial loss and facing dissatisfied customers in a range of industries from fast food delivery, removal services, parcel deliveries or goods distribution services.

With a courier breakdown policy with Start Rescue, you will have peace of mind that, should you suffer a vehicle breakdown, we will quickly be on hand to assist in getting you moving again – That’s why more than 9 out of 10 of our customers recommend us after receiving service for a breakdown.*

What’s more, our breakdown cover for delivery drivers and couriers includes a great range of services as standard: (please see further below for extra cover you can include if its required):

Roadside Assistance

In the event your courier delivery vehicle breaks down, we will arrange for a recovery operator to attend and where they deem appropriate, they will spend up to 60 minutes to try and repair the vehicle.

Local Recovery

If we are unable to repair your vehicle at the roadside, we will arrange to recover your  vehicle to the nearest suitable garage which is able to undertake the repair within 10 miles from the scene of the breakdown; Or: if the above is not possible at the time or the repair cannot be made within the same working day, we will pay for the vehicle to be transported to your chosen destination up to 10 miles from the scene of the breakdown.

Home Assist

Home assist is included as standard on your delivery vehicle breakdown cover,  with  more than 1 in 3 vehicle breakdowns happening at home**,  this policy benefit really can prove to be invaluable to customers, for example, the many people opting to work as Flex drivers or fast food delivery drivers to earn some extra cash and whose vehicles will ordinarily be kept at their home address.

We will also cover you in the event of a breakdown within ¼ mile of your home address.

Misfuel Cover

In the event your vehicle’s fuel tank is filled with the incorrect type of fuel, we will pay up to £250 (inclusive of VAT) towards a fuel drain and flush to be completed at the roadside; or the recovery of your vehicle and passengers to the nearest suitable repairer (within 10 miles) and their reasonable costs to drain and flush to your vehicle’s fuel tank.

You can even opt to include cover for your vehicles for national recovery and European cover for vehicles under 3.5 tonnes – Ideal for deliveries which involve long distance drops or international courier services.
