Review of the Tesco Bank, Car insurance:

Car Insurance

By far the cheapest with great add-ons and easy to swap over. Reviewed on: 6th September 2016

I was grossly overcharged when I changed my vehicle four months into the 12 month contract. the amount I had to pay was even more than if I had taken out a brand new policy. Taking account of the amount I had already paid, and adjusting for the different vehicle, I should have been charged around £60 extra. Instead, I had to pay over £440. This is gross profiteering.

STAY WELL CLEAR

Stay well well clear from this absolutely terrible insurance company! Had non fault accident 7 months ago, to this very day my vehicle is still damaged, they have left me with no hire vehicle and the company they use FMG services will give you false and mis-leading information til you loose the plot and give up. My vehicle has been sat at garage since last year xmas, i am now in process of selling it damaged and taking a huge loss. I have complaint to TESCO and FMG with no avai...

Clueless...

They have had my vehicle for over a year trying to fix it, I've had to hire a car so far it's cost me 8k plus, and I've got the Financial Ombudsman involved, 13 months and still not repaired, what a joke of a company, avoid at all costs Reviewed on: 10th March 2025

Tesco auto-renewed my car insurance policy without my consent. I believe auto-renewals should be prohibited by law. Martin Lewis always advises us to compare policies annually, so it’s baffling why auto-renewals are still an option. They should be banned. The policy was also overpriced. When I contacted them the same day to cancel and informed them that I sold the car 10 days ago, they told me I would need to pay a £25.50 cancellation fee. This has been an incredibly frustrating...

Avoid Tesco Car Insurance Terrible Experience!

Avoid Tesco Car Insurance – Terrible Experience! We had our car stolen in September 2025 and went through one of the most frustrating and stressful experiences with Tesco Car Insurance. Despite providing all necessary documents and details, we were constantly passed back and forth between Tesco and their third-party investigation company, with both looking for any excuse not to pay out. For seven months, we were left without a car while raising a one-year-old. We had to rely o... Reviewed on: 21st February 2025

Been with these for 8 months now, but now found a cheaper policy elsewhere, but tesco want to charge me £222 to cancel. Apparently they go by mileage. My limit was 6000 and i have not reached that, but they reckon its done by the amount of days the policy has been running! Absolute ripoff when your paying £250 a month already!

Poor service and support when you need it most!

My car was taken from my home, and in an accident. I have spent two weeks trying to hear basic information about the progress of the case and what will happen next. I just keep hearing the same thing, we haven’t looked at the case file yet. The car was recovered by the police and placed at a recovery centre, each day I am recurring extra costs with no decision or information from Tesco. I am calling them for information and have heard nothing. They are still taking money out of ... Reviewed on: 16th January 2025

Avoid at all cost

Worst experience ever had me paying 330 a month with a black box there customer service is very poor i would highly advise to avoid Reviewed on: 16th January 2025

I am extremely disappointed with Tesco Bank Insurance.

I am extremely disappointed with Tesco Bank Insurance. After being a loyal driver with 12 years of No Claims Discount (NCD), I made a claim following an unfortunate accident. Not only did they significantly undervalue my car when processing the claim, but they also slashed my NCD from 12 years down to just 3 years! This feels incredibly unfair and unprofessional, especially as I’ve never had a claim in over a decade. Their customer service is unhelpful, and they seem more intere...
