What our members say

All the good things you are saying about us.

I have been with ETA for a few years now and have always been satisfied with their service, but recently they excelled themselves. I felt really well looked after when my exhaust box fell off, and was kept in the picture regularly as regards the arrival of the recovery vehicle. Very efficient and pleasant and you get to speak to real people

We've been ETA customers for years and (luckily!) haven't had to use the breakdown service very often, but every time we have, the service has been consistently excellent. We had a break down recently and both the call handler and the recovery driver were incredibly professional, efficient and prompt - which is exactly what you want when you're in that situation. Would highly recommend!

‍Really good customer service. Dealt with my stress thoughtfully and sensitively and the breakdown vehicle arrived in a short time. Kept me informed throughout the process and also checked up with me to ensure that all went well. I would really recommend.

Breakdown FAQs
What's the difference between vehicle cover and personal cover?

Vehicle cover protects a specific vehicle, whoever is driving it with your permission. Personal cover protects you in any vehicle you're travelling in, as the driver or a passenger. You can also combine both on a single policy.

What do the different cover levels include?

Every level includes roadside assistance. Bronze and Silver add local recovery within 15 miles, while Gold and above include nationwide recovery. Silver, Platinum and European Plus add Home Assist for breakdowns at or near home, and Europe and European Plus extend your cover across Europe.

Can I get European breakdown cover?

Yes. Choose the Europe or European Plus cover level. European cover is available for vehicles up to 10 years old.

How many vehicles or people can I cover?

You can add as many vehicles as you like to one policy, each with its own cover level. Personal cover can include up to 3 additional people, who must live at the same address as the policyholder.

Can I pay monthly?

Yes. You can pay monthly or annually, all prices include Insurance Premium Tax.
