A jump start is the fastest solution when your car won’t start

Jump start assistance (boost) helps in common situations where the car won’t start due to a flat 12V battery. We’ll get to you as quickly as possible. Our goal is to get you back on the road without unnecessary delays.

Even though jump starting seems simple, it must be done carefully. Incorrect connection or procedure can damage the vehicle’s electrical system. If you’re not completely sure, call us — we’ll provide jump start assistance safely.

Most common situations where a jump start helps

Typical situations where jump start assistance is the right choice:

  • The car won’t start / the starter turns slowly
  • Lights are dim / electronics are weak
  • The car has been parked for a long time or cold winter weather drained the battery
  • Short trips in cold weather so the battery doesn’t charge properly
  • An EV or hybrid won’t “wake up” due to a 12V issue

If you suspect a fault other than a flat battery (e.g., starter motor, alternator, or electrical fault), tell us on the phone and we’ll guide you to the right solution.

What we do on-site

Jump start assistance isn’t just “clip the cables and go”. The goal is to do it safely and avoid further issues.

Jump start assistance includes:

  • On-site assessment (is it sensible to keep driving or are further steps needed?)
  • Providing safe boost power to the 12V battery
  • Basic guidance for what to do next (e.g., the battery may drain again if there’s an underlying issue)
  • Guidance to the next-best option if starting isn’t possible safely

Sometimes the cause is the starter or an electrical fault

It’s not always a flat battery. The no-start issue may be caused by a starter fault or another electrical problem. We’ll come out, assess the situation, and advise next steps:

  • if a jump start is enough, you’ll be moving again quickly
  • if the fault points to the starter or another technical issue, we’ll guide you to a safe next solution — often towing to a repair shop

What happens when you order jump start assistance?

  1. You call our 24/7 hotline and briefly describe the situation (location + what happened).
  2. You receive an estimated arrival time and a price estimate before you order.
  3. We also check whether your insurance covers jump start assistance (according to policy terms).
  4. The nearest available unit is dispatched.
  5. Our driver resolves the issue safely or, if needed, guides you to the next step.

How quickly will roadside assistance arrive?

Typical arrival time is 15–60 minutes. Timing depends on your location, traffic, weather, and the nature of the job. If congestion or weather affects ETA, we’ll tell you right away on the phone.

How much does jump start assistance cost – and will insurance cover it?

The price depends on, for example:

  • your location and travel distance
  • how long the job takes and how complex it is
  • time of day (day / night / holidays)
    You’ll get a price estimate upfront.

In many cases, roadside assistance is covered by comprehensive or partial comprehensive insurance. We check coverage when you order, and when policy terms are met, billing can be handled according to your insurance conditions.

We serve customers of all insurance companies – including If, OP Pohjola, LähiTapiola, POP Insurance, Fennia and Turva (and others according to policy terms).
