Review: 2Gether Breakdown Cover
By Ronny Lavie 
*** Update, 2017 *** In March 2017, 2Gether Insurance stopped offering breakdown cover. Its existing customers' policies were transferred to Emergency Assist Ltd.
Emergency Assist's breakdown policy uses a service agreement (also known as a service contract), which means it is not an insured policy and therefore not regulated by the FCA.
2Gether still offers a range of car insurance products.
