Shocked at the huge increase of the premium. Like any insurance, it cannot be judged until one experiences a claim situation.

I've been with EA since 2025 & have been great when I've needed their assistance. Invoice sent for breakdown repairs & payment received within a few days. 7* highly recommended. Thank you.

It was a little tricky getting hold on someone but once we did we got given a time window of 2 hours and it needed up only being around 45 minutes. Everything moved so smoothly and my car got taken away to a garage.

No email response

The credit card linked to the breakdown cover expired and I received an email to say the renewal had not gone through. I changed the card details and paid the same day. The renewal was then due to start seven days after this payment. I emailed to ask if this could begin from the day that I paid, but received no reply. I am now worried about the level of service if I do breakdown.

Avoid Motor Breakdown Cover from this…

Avoid Motor Breakdown Cover from this company!!!
Stranded at the road side for more than 6 hours at night time!! They didn't pay attention and act on breakdown information passed to call handling team (automatic gearbox locked in gear due to breakdown) - vehicle would require recovery using 'skids' as a consequence. Recovery agent sent did not have correct equipment. A total of 3 recovery companies used (second one cancelled - due to mechanic going 'sick'). An outright LIE - I called the recovery operative concerned after we had shared preliminary calls (so I had his telephone number). He was not sick at all - but was diverted elsewhere.
Made a complaint (and offered to share the circumstances) - which was rebutted in the most off-hand way. They are not interested in Customer feedback. They carried out a one-sided 'desktop' review - said I did not have a valid complaint - but invited me to make a Civil Claim if I wanted to go further. No reply sent to my follow up email - I was completely ignored. The most abysmal customer I have ever experienced. Out of curiosity, read some other reviews / complaints - which only goes to reinforce the motor breakdown cover (farmed out from 2Gether Insurance to 'Emergency Assist Ltd' to execute) is the subject of many complaints by other customers. My advice - if considering this company - GET YOUR COVER ELSEWHERE!!!!
--------
SO_ almost immediately after posting my previous poor review of this company, I received the 'standard' reply, so sorry to hear of your experience - please reach out to our team directly......Guess what? I emailed with a whole load more information - which was completely ignored. Don't waste your money dealing with this bunch of Clowns!!! Go elsewhere.

Pointless Service

One of the worst customer service experiences I've had. I was given advice that didn't match the breakdown cover I'd paid for, leaving me to sort the problem out myself. Since then I've sent three emails over the last couple of weeks asking for an explanation and have received absolutely no response. I've also spent over half an hour on hold trying different departments without speaking to anyone.

Taking your money is easy. Supporting customers when they actually break down seems to be another matter. I won't be renewing and certainly wouldn't recommend them.

Customer service is shocking

Customer service is shocking, tried 4 times today to cancel renewal, each time I was left hanging on for over 20 minutes, still waiting on an answer from them.
