Emergency Assist are not fit to call themselves a breakdown company... One experience of Emergency Assist was when I broke down with a flat battery because I had left my lights on -this was 10pm on a cold November night with 2 children in the car & an hr from home. When I phoned Emergency Assist it took me 20mins to get through- I thought I had the wrong number! The message on the phone line is not clear & you are left wondering if it’s the correct 24hr emergency breakdown number especially… Read Full Review

Beware, cannot call out again within 60 days, as this will occur a charge. Car would not start, recovery came and started car, told me what it was, part was replaced. Car would not start, roughly 2 weeks later, got told they will not come out with same problem, wanted payment of £125. Recovery could not start car and was towed home, 10minutes away. Recovery said what problem was, which was a complete different part of the car, which was confirmed by mechanic. Tried to get in touch with… Read Full Review

Called them for the first time with 4 mths left of the (Premium!) policy. I said the car won't start and I suspect the fuel pump though I have a spare with me.' They refused to come out to sort but offered to take the car to a garage. They broke their own policy by not attending for an hour and have refused to refund the remaining cover. Oh dear, what a company!… Read Full Review

I had broken down and I called the breakdown number. Prior to this particular break down I had called them two days ago because the car wouldn't start (the car started working on its own after an hour so I cancelled the out). The second time I needed the emergency assist breakdown service was the following week. I called them and they started persecuting over the phone wanting proof, before they could send anyone out to recover they wanted proof that I had my car diagnosed which I did, but did… Read Full Review

Notice that most decent reviews are based around the price and never having called for a breakdown. I used this company for a breakdown for the first time, slow, unprofessional. |Wanted to charge me as member of the public helped me out and fixed the vehicle. Wasted my money on a very poor substitute for breakdown cover… Read Full Review

Took out cover in may 2020. The website had a problem and took out 2 payments and created 2 policies. Numerous very very long telephone calls over a long period of time and 1 of the policies was cancelled and a refund given. Or so we thought !! had a flat battery yesterday, phoned breakdown who eventually after 40 minutes said they had cancelled both policies and we were not covered. this company has been a nightmare from day one. glad they cancelled our policies, now we have engaged a proper… Read Full Review

Due to a change in circumstance, i've sold my car, I called to cancel the policy and was told that there will be no refund as i've used the policy for a while. 25% of the term only! I can't find anything that says this in their T&C's! Also no documents were sent by email when i took out the cover. Be aware in case you have the same conditions… Read Full Review

I called to renew my policy and was met with an arrogant advisor by the name of Sharna. At the start of the call she began rushing me and said she had other calls to attend to. The company said they will not automatically renew my policy- which they attempted to. I spoke to the manager who said she has opted me out of this. Sharna said she did not . I asked for Sharna to send an email to me stating that i will be opted out moving forward. She began argumentative and agitated and made threats to… Read Full Review

I bought an annual policy through Groupon for my daughter. She never needed to use the policy. A year passes and I discover a direct debit has come out of my bank £40. I did not receive an email, they even suggested it probably went to spam but have not forwarded a copy as evidence of this. You have 14 days to cancel, I was a week over on discovery. I contacted them first to be told that as it was two weeks past inception date they would have to deduct £10 admin fee. After three weeks I heard… Read Full Review

Been with them 2 years then needed them as my instrument cluster failed on my car so had no speedo rev counter fuel gauge etc. Called up and was told they would not come out as my car was driveable. Yes it was but I would be breaking the law. Cancelled my policy but told no refunds ever. Dont waste your money… Read Full Review

I had need to call after a break down with my 2yr old and my 6yr old around 5pm. Call centre staff were amazing very friendly said all the right things. When local company arrived at 8.20pm he was rude, made me get up on trailer holding my 2yr old to get car seats out and did not help put them in the high cab. Got a mobile phone message and read it as he was driving around the roundabout. Made no attempt to diagnose or fix problem with the vehicle said "can't be bothered to fix it " to my… Read Full Review

Fantastic service and exceptional value for money, efficient and very prompt. I can't praise them enough. When making my initial call, it was answered speedily, and I was greeted by a lovely, very polite young lady. She was exceptionally quick to deal with my call In a professional, courteous manner. The breakdown chap arrived well within the guideline timeframe and, again extremely efficient, very polite and well mannered and I was up and running within no time. I am so very pleased I… Read Full Review

I originally purchased my car breakdown cover with Emergency Assist Ltd a year ago through a Wowcher offer and though I haven't had to call on their services I was more than happy to renew my membership for another year, the cover I have got is perfect for my motoring needs and is offered at a fantastic price, I would recommend them to friends and family as they are offering all aspects of cover required at a fantastic price!… Read Full Review

Dont think that because this is so reasonably priced this breakdown company must be inferior to others They're Not! I have a Automatic Landrover Discovery 3 which suddenly died on me. I phoned Emergency Assist who came to my aid within a hour, he diagnosed a faulty alternator and took me and my car to the garage of my choice. I wouldn't have got better service with anyone else so before you spend £150 + with others, give EMERGENCY ASSIST a try. You wont be disappointed… Read Full Review
