A flat battery is one of the most frustrating roadside situations — but it's also one of the quickest to resolve. TowMyCar's jump start service connects you with local drivers near you who carry professional jump packs capable of starting your vehicle safely, without risk to your car's electronics. Get back on the road in under an hour.
Our local jump start service drivers provide much more than a simple pair of jump leads. When you book through TowMyCar, your driver arrives with professional-grade equipment and a structured process to get your car started safely:
Important: Electric vehicles and 12V hybrids should NOT be jump started using standard methods. Our drivers are trained to handle EV battery situations correctly and safely.
Understanding why your battery has gone flat helps you prevent it happening again. Our local flat battery recovery drivers can diagnose the most likely cause when they arrive. The most common reasons for a flat battery include:
Interior lights, headlights, or boot lights left on overnight will drain even a healthy battery completely.
Car batteries typically last 3–5 years. An aged battery holds less charge and is more vulnerable to cold weather.
The alternator recharges your battery while driving. If it's failing, the battery will deplete even when the engine is running.
Cars that sit unused for weeks, particularly in winter, will naturally lose battery charge through passive drain.
Cold temperatures significantly reduce battery efficiency. A battery at 50% health in summer may fail completely at 0°C.
Electrical faults or aftermarket accessories can drain your battery even with the ignition off. Requires diagnosis.
Enter your vehicle registration and location. Specify that you need a jump start so drivers with the correct equipment respond.
Local jump start service drivers near you send their quotes and ETAs within minutes. No need to ring around.
Choose the best quote, confirm your booking, and the driver heads to you immediately.
