A year on and my Start renewal is due in a few days, they have already sent a renewal offer and now have sent one with a 10% discount code on it. A year on and I am still waiting for my £5.31 cashback from them, they are terrible payers!!! I can't comment on the service as I didn't need it but they are all the same, they just call out the nearest independent garage. Its purely luck of the drawer if you get a good one or a duff one on the day.On principle I won't give any more business to a company that has successfully tracked cashback on a simple transaction and then just refuses to pay up. Its dishonest.

I looked for somewhere to review this company, They were extremely cheap compared to other companies more than half the price of the regular providers. I have never come a company that are so polite and really really helpful, we normally do not have to call out many breakdown companies, I move to Start Rescue and my car starts to breakdown regularly. Start Rescue have come every time within a timely manner with polite and professional service from their call centre to the local providers. Even when my car has a strange problem that not every garage would fix and therefore I couldn't get it relayed straight away (which there policy states if you have an issue you need to relay it immediately). It took me a week and a half to find a garage that would fix the vehicle (we were not able to start). I rang Start Rescue and explained the situation, they didn't even argue they just said don't worry let us know when you need it relayed we will do it for you (even bending their policy). I must say that I think this is the most value that I have had out of £35 in the whole of my life. I hope they keep up the good work and they will be my first choice every time.

Tracked, confirmed and payable in 5 weeks. If only all merchants were this efficient. So pleased have taken out a breakdown policy for a second vehicle with them.

Cashback tracked and was payable very quickly. Not had to use the breakdown service yet, but this was over £100 cheaper than The AA renewal price I was quoted.

START RESCUE USE TOPCASHBACK TO GET BUSINESS BUT DO NOT PAY THE CASHBACK PROMISED My cash back was refused. I will not use again. Start Rescue are saying that 'Another marketing channel was credited with the sale' this is not the case and they have no evidence, I believe that they just don't want to pay the cash back they promised and I will not use them again and I advise others not to either.

Earlier this year I took out breakdown cover with Start Rescue for the first time. I chose them due to their prices being so competitive, though I must admit that I was a little apprehensive as to how they would compare to other breakdown service providers in the event of a call-out. However, I recently required their services and they exceeded my expectations in every way. The call centre operative who answered my call was extremely friendly and re-assuring and treated me as an individual. The mechanic they despatched arrived in just over 10 minutes (far quicker than the given time) and fixed the fault immediately in an efficient and friendly manner. I later received both a telephone call and an email to check that everything was OK. I would thoroughly recommend them.

Cashback tracked quickly and became payable much sooner than estimated.Soon after taking this policy out I had the misfortune to suffer a broken front coil spring on my car which made it unsafe to drive and I was unable to complete my journey so I had to call on my startrescue policy. I have nothing but praise for the service I received. From the first initial call to the the breakdown truck arriving to the car being hoisted on to the back of the truck to the 30 mile journey home on a dark cold night was stress free and very quick. Over the years I have probably had breakdown cover with almost everyone who provides it and I would rate startrescue as the best by far and I have no hesitation in recommending them!! I will certainly renew. Although cashback is important when choosing cover, ultimately the service received when you breakdown is the most important factor and startrescue score top marks on this.

Tracked same day and payout was about 4/5 weeks...pretty impressive actually. Policy, like for like, with the flag guys was 50% cheaper...not claimed as yet, but happy to take a chance with this company and the cashback got me £5.36 off.

Tracked really quickly. Am furious that the terms on which cashback can be claimed appears to have changed since I bought my breakdown cover. When I bought it, 15.15% cashback and no exclusions with a discount code and one week later, no cashback and a clear disclaimer on the site. Not fair!

Insanely quick tracking. (tracked within 90 minutes) Coupled with the discount code i used, it makes this policy unbeatable. Homestart, Onward Travel, national recover, overnight accomdation etc etc for £25, taking into account cashback and discount. Ridiculous!
