The best breakdown service I'd used

A breakdown is never good, but Brittania Rescue made it easy to report, got help to me quickly and while not able to get me going at the roadside got me home quickly and recovered me to a garage once I'd arranged it.

Excellent service as usual

Excellent service as usual. The problem was sorted within 30 mins of my original call and I could resume my journey. I have been with Brittania for more than twenty years and have always had excellent service on every occasion I have needed their help. I highly recommend the company.

Flat Battery at Heathrow

I came back from my holidays and found I had a flat battery. I have asthma, and the fumes from plane exhaust are a trigger for me. The call handler was polite and helpful. She noted my issue and sent an agent. They arrived quickly to get me back on the road.

Immediate help

I broke down in a remote part of Scotland. Help was sent immediately and I was able to get on my way again- a huge relief.
This is the second I have asked for assistance and both times very helpful and efficient.

Britannia Rescue were brilliant!

Britannia Rescue were brilliant!
The telephone operator assessed the problem (broken clutch) and ordered a Recovery on the spot.
The truck arrived within 25 minutes, which was amazing.
The whole process from call to garage forecourt took less than an hour = very efficient!
