Easytrip launched breaktown assist service

Electronic parking and tolling tag provider easytrip has launched a new breakdown assistance service in Ireland called easyAssist. The new breakdown recovery and assistance service is available from €3.99 per month to Irish motorists.

Recent easytrip research revealed that three out of five motorists don’t have breakdown cover for their vehicle and often rely on their vehicle insurance policy to cover it. However, motor insurance premiums have increased by over 70pc since 2013, according to the Society of the Irish Motor Industry, and many insurers have also reduced benefits on motor policies with some polices not covering breakdown assistance at all.

The easyAssist service provides customers with assistance on all major breakdown scenarios nationwide including: battery charge; punctures; refuelling; wheel change; home start assist; and continuation of journey.
