UK and European
vehicle breakdown recovery

Media Enquiries

Part of the Call Assist Group, Start Rescue has flourished to become one of the leading providers of breakdown recovery services in the UK.

As an innovative breakthrough brand, Start Rescue was one of the first providers to offer the capability of reporting a breakdown via our very own custom built app, whilst still ensuring a personable experience for our customers is always available through our Contact Centre. We work closely with our recovery network which are local businesses located throughout the UK and work to the highest standards whilst maintaining industry certification for employees and equipment. We believe in placing our work into local communities and supporting businesses which have been providing breakdown services through many generations.

Our commitment and expertise in the breakdown recovery field has led to Start Rescue being endorsed as a Which? Recommended Provider for Breakdown Services since 2019,  as well as having been named an award-winning breakdown service by numerous third-parties.

We truly value our customers and believe in providing a fair pricing model. With Start Rescue’s price promise, customers are offered a lower price at renewal than a new customer buying directly from our website, at our standard advertised retail prices, based on a like for like quote.

Our experience coupled with our dedication to providing motorists with the highest level of service has supported us in achieving media coverage with numerous national press outlets, as well as thought leadership articles within targeted industry publications.
