My family and I were left stranded in France when Europ Assistance refused to help us on our breakdown insurance and accident insurance. They were perfectly happy to take the money when we took out the policies, but when we made a claim we were met by confusion, misinformation, broken promises of returned phone calls and a host of communication inconsistencies that added a new dimension to our nightmare. The delays and confusion we experienced when we tried to contact Europ Assistance caused additional stress and huge expenses in finding additional accommodation which they also refused to cover. Their complaints procedure was a total mess, culminating once again in one person passing on the complaint to another, then another, then another, each time causing me to go through the information over and over again, only to receive a standard letter after weeks of communications. They're too big, they don't have ANY attention to detail, they're callous, dismissive, callous and unpleasant to deal with and they don't care about customer service - if they did, they'd return phone calls for a start! Do yourself a favour - either read the 12 paqes of small print very, very carefully or use someone else.

If you take insuring yor personal belongings seriously, then i would strongly advise you not to use Europ Assistance.
After several items been stolen from my suitcase in eary July 2008 the company are still sat on their hands doing nothing to resolve this claim.
The company are difficult to contact, obstructive, and completely uncompassionate about their paying customers been victims of theft.
Europ assistance' complaints procedure is at best a joke. Despite sending an email ( after several phone calls) to complain, i eventually received acknowledgement almost 3 weeks later, with an attatchment stating claims will be acknowledged within 5 working days!
Better still, despite paying them for the insurance they still want proof i was actually insured with them. They also requested that i provide a written statement from the police at Manchester airport, something they have not done for several years- i was not aware of this, but would certainly expect a professional insurance company to be aware of.
After my experience i would advise anyone to look elsewhere for travel insurance

I used Europ Assistance a couple of years ago when I went to Turkey with a group of girls from school.

Two days before we were due to be going home we came back to the villa after a night out. All the lights were off and we knew we had left some on, so we tripped the fuse box. We think this must have spooked the burglars because they hadn’t been into the en-suite which had a big jewellery box in it.

They had locked the front door from the inside so we couldn’t get in. We kind of broke into our own villa and there were muddy footprints everywhere. The place was a mess.

We checked everything and found that loads of stuff was missing. Most of us had our passports stolen, mobile phones, an Ipod Mini and a little bit of cash.

We had to go to the embassy in the nearest city to give statements to the police and had to get emergency passports, which cost about £70 each. It took a whole day. I got all my money back though. Europ Assistance dealt really well with my claim.

We even went back to nearly exactly the same place the following year!
