    I had been with First Call for a few years without breaking down as I kept renewing cover without ever suspecting their service would be so useless. Then my engine blew up on the motorway about 30 miles from home! I had two small children (8 & 5) with me and the weather was appalling. After contacti ...

    I gave my card details to them when my daughter broke down at the petrol station. This was in case she had a) run out of fuel or b) put wrong fuel in. I was told if this was not the problem then the card number would be destroyed and not used. Transpired that my daughters M reg Fiesta had a chip in ...

    Of no help when broke down in France - unhelpful on phone despite highlighting to them a member of our party was disabled. Out of pocket by £500 in end.

    A good service for me, because I did not need it. Took out policy last year for two vehicles and luckily did not need the service. Tried to renew this year for same two vehicles, but they quoted £115 just for my van because I use it for business, so I will be going elsewhere.

    Called First Call out to beakdown on M4. Response was quick (woman alone) and road-side repair done. However, the repair did not work and I broke down again after 1 mile. This time I was towed to a garage for repair. As the garage couldn't fit the car in for a week I phoned FC and asked for a tow ho ...

    Not impressed with service from First Call. After a breakdown/accident in France, was told not able to provide recovery.
    On checking the policy details, accidents are described as covered. WILL NOT BE RENEWING!

    Car broke down and cost of repairs was more than the car was worth so had no option but to scrap it. Then discovered that first call would pay for nothing and sent me a bill for the towing, car hire etc.
    Not impressed.

    I've had Frist Call European breakdown cover for the last 3 years and 18 months ago I was unlucky enough to have my head gasket blow on a Saturday night in deepest darkest Belgium! I called First Call and they handed me off to their European centre in Holland who were excellent. The car was towed of ...

    We had to wait for First Call breakdown cover on the hard shoulder of the M74 for 1 1/2 hours with 3 children all aged 5 and under. I rang several times and was told if it was over an hour they would let me know... they did not. We were then recovered to the nearest service station and told our engi ...

    It is ok for some of the people leaving good reviews, you are lucky.
    I broke down at a petrol station, the key would not turn on the lock the steering wheel was locked and the car would not budge as it is an automatic car, the front wheels would not move. I was told by the breakdown people that I ha ...
