StartRescue breakdown cover

Anyone used it before? I’m thinking of getting it for my bike. Seems to offer more or less the same thing green flag does, but for £50 less.

I don’t need european cover, nor do I need any fancy bonuses (e.g. paying to stay in 5 star hotel in case of breakdown). But is there anything in particular I should look out for?

I use AutoAid. I think it stacks up similar but I don’t have s handy tick list to show you.

I use MAG rescue, covers me for Europe for just over £51.00 & you can add a car for a total of just over £70. Drawback is you have to join MAG to get it

I’ve never used them. I used to rely on the breakdown cover that came with my insurance policy but more recently I’ve had the all singing cover from the RAC. I use Tesco clubcard points to pay for it and it works out ridiculously cheap that way.

I would rather walk home than join MAG

How does AutoAid breakdown cover work?


AutoAid is a pay and claim breakdown cover scheme. If you experience a breakdown, just call our AutoAid helpline and we will arrange for the emergency roadside assistance. You will have to pay for costs and expenses yourself, safe in the knowledge we will reimburse** any amounts covered by this insurance in approximately 14 days.
AutoAid’s breakdown cover is personal based, which means you and your legal spouse or civil partner will be covered in any eligible vehicle you are driving at the time of the breakdown.

I like someone with a firm opinion, good for you
