You should pay extra for their home start service. It could be in your garage and they'll still come out. Sadly you're getting the service you chose and paid for.

Yes, I know that, but they were expecting me to drive a car illegally; with all the possible ramifications stated, simply in order to comply with 'the quarter of a mile' terms of their home start policy.

Really? They *told* you to do that??

To qualify for the Home Start, I would have had to drive the required quarter mile from home thus risk the issue of the brakes locking up at any point during that journey and completely blocking the road to the chagrin and inconvenience of other road users until a recovery could be effected.Tbf ( and I sympathise with your situation), they wouldn't expect you to drive home....they'd assume you'd get it recovered. How you do that isn't their concern, harsh as it is but it's the reality.

Surely, to qualify for home start, you'd have had to have paid for Home Start before the breakdown occurred? As you hadn't, the costs of recovery are simply down to you.
It's a mystery to me, and I think several others, as to why you believe you were entitled to a service you hadn't paid for.
But perhaps we're missing something.
Money - it's always about the money
They offer to let you put Home Start on retrospectively because once you have it you are likely to keep it next year
so the accountants will have worked out that, assuming you have a good record, it is worth allowing you to cheat a little bit
Of course, if you have tried this a few times before the offers will suddenly disappear I suspect!
