FAQs
What happens if i breakdown?
Firstly, make sure you and any passengers, or other members of the public are safe, and then secure the vehicle. Then, as usual, contact elmo Breakdown Assistance at 0333 070 2788. Our partners at the RAC operate this and are available 24/7. They will be able to assist you – whether that’s towing you to a local garage, or providing you with a courtesy car.
What if there's an accident?
Again, first and foremost make sure everyone involved is safe. If anyone is injured, please call the local emergency services, and follow their advice. Once you and the vehicle are safe, submit a claim through the elmo Claims App or call us on 0345 300 4644. We’d recommend you download our App before you travel so it’s ready in case of unforeseen circumstances. For detailed instructions and links to download the app, see our emergency guide page.
Do I need a bolt-on for Northern Ireland?
No, you can travel as normal and there’s no need to let us know.
What happens if I need to stay abroad for longer?
Just contact our Fleet team at fleet@elmodrive.com or 0330 165 4945 to submit a request and they can support you throughout the process.
