Where of on Hols soon and we are thinking of getting some "european breakdown cover" - Iam very interested in Europ assist - as they have a deal on for £59.00 for one years cover. It's half the price of my own breakdown company so how does it compare ?

When I lived in the UK I had the Europ Assist 12 month cover and thought it was good value. Since I have been in France Europ Assist handles the breakdown cover for my present insurance company and on the one occasion I needed them they were absolutely excellent.

I used Europ Assist once in France a few years ago. They were excellent. A native english speaker and prompt service. Very reassuring when stranded with only a smattering of the language.

Just remembered - I once called them when, according to the terms of the policy, I wasn't covered. They pointed this out but got me out of trouble anyway. Pretty good I reckon.

My son recently went to France, we had extended our Norwich Union cover to include Eurpoean breakdown cover.
Within 1 hour of docking in Calais, the Punto broke down near Bolougne, the mechanic didn't speak much English but at my son's choice, the car was towed to Calais, put onto a ferry, a breakdown truck was waiting for the ferry in Dover & the car was towed to a garage of my son's choice. £35 well spent.

I am on an extended visit to the UK and took out Travel insurance with EuropAssist and they have been disgusting - no service - no comeback - I had an accident and was knocked over in a store and my very important spectacles were broken and they are not interested in me or the situation I am in. Do not take out insurance with this company - they are not what they promise!

Europ Assist used to supply the breakdown cover for new Mazda vehciles as part of the three year Mazda warranty. They were replaced by the RAC for the three year new car warranty period back in 2007, but continue to provide breakdown cover for Mazda extended warranties.

We've used the breakdown cover twice in the past - both times for punctures - and they provided a quick and efficient service.
