We've been named as the best breakdown service of 2025 by What Car?

(and we’re pretty pleased about it!) 

Published 18 July 2025

Well, as experts in all things motor, from selling cars to reviewing cars, What Car? also assess breakdown providers. They do all the shopping around for you, to provide a clear comparison of all breakdown providers across multiple categories, including promptness, fixes and price, to answer the question “Which is the best breakdown service of 2025?”. 

What Car? asked 29,967 drivers about their own experiences of breakdown cover and rescue over the last couple of years, as part of the  annual Reliability Survey by What Car? in association with  MotorEasy
 

As well as being named ‘best breakdown service’ of 2025, Britannia Rescue was also recognised as “the best company at reaching stranded customers in less than 30 minutes”, scoring 22.9% – the highest of all the providers in the entire survey.  

  • But what about price? Well, What Car? also named us as a great value provider, stating; “our top-performing breakdown provider,  Britannia Rescue is also one of the cheapest options, with local cover for £30.03”. 

So… why pay more for a lower scoring breakdown service?
