NEVER USE @Emergency Assist Ltd Motor Breakdown

NEVER USE @Emergency Assist Ltd Motor Breakdown I put the wrong fuel in my car on Thursday at 6pm. I pulled onto the busy roundabout at High Wycombe above the M40 in the rush hour and came to a kangaroo halt. I was in the middle of the roundabout with cars hurtling up behind me for over an hour. I had my 86 year old mother with me who had just had a full knee replacement who I was bringing back from the hospital. I called emergency Assist and said I had a Premium contract and wanted to be towed home. I was told that they would only tow me 24 miles and my house was 27 miles away. I asked what alternative there was and they said I needed to give them a more local address. I asked them to recommend a local garage if there would be one open but they were not able to help me locate one - they told me to use yell.com ... from a packed roundabout above the M40 in the rush hour with my 86 year old mother. They said the alternative was that they could tow me home for a cash contract to be paid then and there - for over £440. I said that was no solution and they needed to come up with a solution. The guy on the phone said he couldnt help and that only a supervisor could and there wouldnt be one available until the next morning. They left us totally stranded. The police had to tow us off the roundabout and then the @Fuel Doctor team stepped in - and were amazing. Please, if you have your breakdown cover with Emergency Assist Ltd, change it - they will not rescue you. I didnt take out the policy for our cars. I didnt therefore check the reviews - which are all DISGUSTING!

Review of the 1st Central, Car Insurance:

View on product page

Waste of time - Misleading - over 80s BEWARE!!

Spent 2 days looking for a car policy for my 85 year old mother. 1st Central were the cheapest on ALL the comparison sites. Her DOB was entered as 1938 from the very first search. Only when we went to pay did a note come up to say that as she is over 85 years old they will not insure her. I called and they were unable to confirm that. There was nothing on their website about NOT insuring people over 80. Abysmal. Misleading. WILL NOT GIVE THEM MY HARD EARNED MONEY IN FUTURE Reviewed on: 10th May 2023
