Very competitive pricing. Hopefully, I’ll never need to use Emergency Assist, but if I do, then I just hope that it all works out, I’ve no reason to suspect it won’t, but I’m just cautious.

They ignoring us until the feedback

Be careful because my husband tried to cancel his breakdown policy on 28/06/2026 but they didn't even answer and took our money 10 days before the expiration date. This is highly unfair.
After posting this feedback, they gave me back our money. Thank you.

Broke down in Liverpool with four passengers, three disabled. Emergency Assist refused to attend, claiming it was a “previous fault” even though the car had driven two hours at 70mph and was trying to turn over with no fuel reaching the engine. We were left stranded and out of pocket. Had to join the AA to get help. Avoid.

I didn’t know that two year cover was available, I was pleasantly surprised to learn that I could cover my camper van for two years for as little as £88 for breakdown and recovery, I’m hoping to never need to use it but it’s reassuring to know it’s there if I need it.

Easy to renew!

Easy to renew!

I had one experience, when ny Tesla broke down. They decided they would take it to a local garage! No point yo that at all, as local garage cannot handle a Tesla!

Fortunately, the manager saw the issue and authorised a transport to nearestTesla.

Nationwide cover only takes you to a nearest garage

Broken down 23 miles from home on a Saturday with an 8 year old passenger (clutch failure). Rung up, and was politely informed that I am too far away to be towed home. All they could do is tow me to the nearest garage (which are all closed). This is not nationwide recovery as they call it. What am I supposed to do? Drop the car off at a random garage without opportunity to get quotes? Take taxi home, then taxi back to the garage to hand over the car and keys and again to collect the car? Never had this problem with other breakdown cover providers.

The most convenient and competitive option

The continuation quote was more competitive than the alternatives on a comparative website.

Charged for a second call out!

I used Emergency Assist Ltd after my car wouldn't start. The technician came out, jump-started the car, and assured me everything was fine. He told me to keep the engine at around 2,000 RPM for 20 minutes, exactly as my mechanic had advised, and said the battery did not need replacing, even when I specifically asked and was happy to pay for a new one if necessary.

Unfortunately, the very next morning the battery was completely dead again. When I called Emergency Assist Ltd back, I was told I'd have to pay £125+ for another call-out, despite having been told the previous day that the car would be fine and that I didn't need to take it to a garage.

This has left me questioning what I'm actually paying for. If the battery or charging system wasn't properly checked, or if the issue wasn't correctly diagnosed, I would have expected to be advised of that rather than being reassured everything was fine and then charged again when the problem immediately returned. Overall, a very disappointing experience.
