Breakdown Cover

[denis567]

Just got my renewal notice from Green Flag, they are quoting just over £100 less a 10% discount for not calling them out for the last 12 months.
I have looked on the price comparison websites and I have a quote from Start Rescue .co.uk for £35.45 which gives me the same cover as Green Flag.
Has anyone any experience of Start Rescue as their quote seems too good to be true?

I've never heard of them but I can recommend Autonational Rescue:

Which? has tested ten breakdown services and Start Rescue isn't included - perhaps they are very new? (Green Flag didn't do too well either - top ones were AA, RAC, Britannia and Gem Motoring Assist).

never heard of them.

Have you thought about seeing if your car insurer offers breakdown. I pay £50 for mine and i have had to use it once to bring car back to Norfolk from isle of wight, the service was great.

I got a renewal quote of £103 from the RAC this week (Roadside, Recovery and Accident Care). Last year it was £82 and I haven't called them out. I rang the RAC to tell them I wasn't happy and I was going to look at leaving them and joining the AA. After giving me some waffle about other people calling them out and rising fuel prices, the chap just chopped off £21 and offered to reduce my renewal to £82! I was happy with that and I've stayed with them.

It might be worth ringing Green Flag Denis and telling them much the same.
