Common causes

Need a Jump Start?

A flat battery can happen for several reasons, including:

Leaving the lights switched on

Leaving the radio or other electrical equipment running

A vehicle that has not been used for an extended period

Cold weather

An ageing or faulty battery

An alternator or charging-system problem

Repeated short journeys

Electrical faults or excessive battery drain

If your vehicle will not start, tell us what happens when you turn the key or press the start button so we can assess the assistance required.

Jump Starts for Cars & Vans

Car Jump Starts

If your car has a flat battery and will not start, we can arrange jump start assistance.

Tell us the make and model of your car and explain whether you hear clicking, see dashboard lights or have no electrical power at all.

Van Jump Starts

If your van will not start because of a flat or discharged battery, we can arrange suitable jump start assistance.

Tell us the make, model and type of van, along with its location and symptoms, so we can assess the requirements before dispatch.

Tricky access

Jump Starts From Difficult Locations

Not every jump start is straightforward.

Your vehicle may be parked in a restricted space, underground car park, on a slope, close to another vehicle or somewhere that makes access difficult.

Providing an accurate description of the vehicle’s location helps us determine the most suitable way to assist.

If additional equipment, specialist access or extra time is required, we’ll explain the situation and any additional charges before proceeding wherever possible.

Jump Starts at Home, Work or the Roadside

We can arrange jump start assistance at a range of locations.

If your vehicle is stopped in a dangerous position or live lane, contact the emergency services where necessary and follow the relevant safety procedures before arranging assistance.

Next steps

What Happens After a Jump Start?

A jump start may get your vehicle running, but it does not necessarily resolve the reason the battery went flat.

If the battery is faulty, the alternator is not charging correctly or there is another electrical problem, your vehicle may require further diagnosis or recovery.

After the vehicle starts:
  • 1
    Keep the engine running where safe to do so
  • 2
    Avoid switching off the engine unnecessarily
  • 3
    Turn off non-essential electrical equipment
  • 4
    Arrange a battery or charging-system check if the problem happens again
  • 5
    Do not continue driving if warning lights appear or the vehicle is not operating normally
