Check my other reviews on Google and Trust pilot to see why. Left me stranded for a whole day on the most dangerous stretch of the M4. Traffic police eventually had to help me because I was at risk and so were other motorists. Ignored disability. At one time, gave an ETA of 15 hrs. One ETA time increased after I became angry and upset, disclosing I had a disability. Lied to my husband saying they were with me when they were not. Lied about not being able to find my location when they had used pin point live and confirmed it. I only had a flat tyre. Lied about the first mechanic already having left. Later on he called me by mistake and said he hadn't. Got charged £130 Traffic police astounded and shocked at the service and eventually requested i get someone else to help as they were worried about the safety risk to myself and others. After being made to feel held at ransom over them having my card details, I had to find a mobile mechanic who helped me within an hour. I was handled with zero empathy, zero sensitivity and am traumatised by the whole ordeal. They did not care one bit that I was at risk and even stated that they had no obligation to prioritise me as a woman alone on a motorway because I didnt disclose disability at the first call , only on the second. This experience has left me shaken and now I have extreme anxiety about driving anywhere as I have distrust about being helped, even though I am signing up to a reputable provider now.

The company made all sorts of excuses when it came to paying for a legitimate claim for a replacement tyre. AVOID THEM!

It was a nightmare trying to get through to the call centre with continuous ringing, no offer of coming to the roadside to check whether a repair could be effected (side of the M3 on a Sunday afternoon) - and was more interested in which local garage I wanted to go to when my local knowledge was minimal, they cut me off even though I had agreed to pay to get home. When I eventually got through again they said they had phoned around and there was no one to take me home for payment, I had called the police who recommended a garage but when they (the policeman with me) spoke to the operator he told them to get off the line as it was for emergencies!!!!! So a single woman on the side of the M3 for about three hours is not an emergency in their eyes. Read more Read less

Their only interest is to take money and they don't care anymore. If you have a problem, they will refer you to the garage, if you cancel the service, they will not refund your money. Shame on them. I do not recommend signing a contract with them, you will only lose money and gain only anger and stress. Hands off them. Read more Read less

I broke down in my car at about 9pm and called Emergency Assist. i was waiting on the phone for 20 mins before someone answered. I eventually got through to them. The man i spoke to was very unhelpful, I explained what the problem was that my car had broken down in the middle of the road and would not start. He said that i would need recovery but refused to call any recovery vehicle as my home address was too far away (google maps said 37 miles all on good roads) he then said you need to chose a local garage to take the car to. i protested and said i dont know any, he said i will send you a list you have choose one and then call us back. He sent me a list of 5 local garages that were all closed for the night, it was now 10pm and i had no faith Emergency Assist as they didn't want to assist me in an emergency. I had been stuck in the middle of the road now for an 1 1/2 hours. So rather than ring the rude and uncaring company back i seached for breakdown recover near me, In the end i managed to find a recovery driver about 15 miles away who was willing to take me home and the car home, unforunatley it cost me £250, but i think i would have been there all night with Emergency Assist. I would not recomend this company to anyone Read more Read less

Read the small print for their definition of ‘national recovery’ … it is very different to most companies! They seem to think that offering recovery to a local garage on a Sunday of a Bank Holiday weekend, when garages are shut for 2 days, is an acceptable recovery option for national recovery as part of Premium Policy cover! One call handler even told me that it was unlikely they could help due to it being a Bank Holiday weekend and because I was towing a trailer. Eventual recovery home cost me £625. I made a complaint and this was unsuccessfully resolved but during this process I had a look at the reviews, particularly the one-star reviews, on Trustpilot. There are thousands of people with similar experiences and these include many vulnerable, disabled and elderly individuals. I have read a lot of these reviews and it seems that nobody is offered anything other than recovery to a local garage, but many do not even get this. Reading through these reviews it seems like EA will ask a series of questions to prevent having to come out at all - for example they will ask people who are phoning in with battery issues whether they had the radio on prior to calling. If they have then they don't go out. If people want recovery support for flat tyres if they can establish that they hit a stone or a pothole, then again, they won't go out as they say it's an accident and they are not covered. If people have used them previously, they will say it's the same fault, even with proof it's not, and again they won't go out. If people do get offered recovery to a local garage, many are saying they have to find that garage themselves! In an area they likely don’t know at all! EAs detail is all in the small print and people are missing this. As did I. I accept that legally they may be scraping by, but their advertising feels very misleading and disingenuous. Morally they are not fulfilling their commitment to customers. And the fact of the matter is they really do not care at all. It feels like the service is bordering on a scam. When you go on Trustpilot there are many five star reviews. However, if you look at these, they are mostly for purchase experience only including auto renewals. All of these people are yet to actually attempt to use the service! In addition, when I made my complaint, they sent me the call log with the full names of ALL the call handlers I spoke to, including the individual that part of the complaint specifically related to! Did they have consent to share this personal data with a complainant?! If not, then a breach of data protection can be added to the list too. Cheap breakdown cover is only cheap until you need to use it! While 2gether Insurance, who sell the policies, are regulated by the FOS, EA are unregulated. Other than a money claim in court, there is nowhere to escalate a complaint to, as I am sure many other people have discovered also. Give this company a wide berth and go to a well known company instead. Read more Read less

Would not come out to assist. Claiming a speed bump is a foreign object! claiming I must have been speeding and collided with ‘foreign object’ !!!! Nonsense staff members and managers

They did come out 1 time for flat tyre. I had my car vandalised windows smashed and asked for recovery. No surprise, they’ll make excuses. They hang up phone. Few days ago flat battery, called them, they state similar issues as last call. Definitely avoid. 1000%. Zero conscious. They’ll burn in hell. Read more Read less

Demanded extra money as I mentioned the engine light had come on a week before and I didn't know the reason. Didn't even bother to ask how I was or for my location. When I asked to speak to a manager I was told there was no manager available. So I was left in the middle of nowhere in freezing conditions. As a pensioner with mob ility issues tEmergency Assist basically callously abandoned me, despite having paid for their so called 'breakdown' cover. This company should be BANNED by Trading Standards!
