Review of the Tesco Bank, Car Insurance:

Sharks or Incompetent staff, either way we have being shafted

Ever felt like you have being shafted as that’s exactly how I feel, because we have for 1 months direct debit. Rang to cancel my car insurance renewal today. We have made 12 monthly payments already. Unfortunately our 13th payment came out Nov 1st 2021 (today) and the actual car insurance expires Nov 7th 2021 which we have already made the 12 monthly payments on, as you never pay for car insurance retrospectively. So I asked if we can have todays direct debit back as we have already made the 12 payments for the 1st year and it was just unfortunate that the 13th payment which covers the first month of the new year that I am cancelling came out today. No matter which way I described it to the person at Tesco Finance, he simply could not grasp or did not want to grasp, that this 13th payment is for the next 12 months renewal which I am cancelling. In the end I gave up frustrated as this individual (being diplomatic) simply could not grasp simple multiplication. They need to employee call centre staff who can do simple mathematic calculations. As they refuse to reimburse this 13th payment. I wont be using or recommending them, quite the opposite. Reviewed on: 1st November 2021

Absolute disgrace.

Absolute disgrace. Refuses to accept no claims proof and gave us a week to get it. Emailed us once and they then cancelled. Forst we knew about cancellation was a text message when they said it was cancelled. Refused to reinstate Reviewed on: 4th September 2024

Tesco Bank car insurance was so easy to arrange and...

Tesco Bank car insurance was so easy to arrange and the customer agent was really helpful in setting my insurance up,also Tesco Bank was the most competitive price,whereas other companies prices had sky rocketed my Tesco policy had risen by by a mere £5 from previous year,so I am one happy policy holder Reviewed on: 4th September 2024

competitive premiums for car insurance

Easy website to negate, most competitive premiums found on both comparison sites or going direct, on line visibility of policy and relevant documents Reviewed on: 4th September 2024

Accident

I have had a small accident with my car and Test Car Insurance were very professional and kept me updated at all times Reviewed on: 29th August 2024

Avoid this company .

Joined tesco bank box 6 months ago now. Been very unhappy ever since. The customer service is shocking! The firstly called me numerous of times regarding my car being kept at a different address the whole month which is wasn’t. Then got more calls regarding miles. they charge an extortionate amount of money to add on more miles to the policy. each time i have called them i have never found them helpful. i wanted to raise a complaint to the complaint team and its took them 2 months to get back to me, also not answering anything i have been concerned with. also have tried to call them numerous of times asking to speak to someone regarding my policy and they have said someone will call me back and never have. For a first time young driver i would avoid at all costs. They sell you the dream insurance when taking one out with them. They also didn’t offer to let me pay monthly so wanted the money upfront.

Attempt to tow away my car., why was I at fault.

There was an unsuccessful attempt to tow away my car which resulted in damage to the front end. I believe the keys were cloned and the alarms turned off. I paid an excess of £1,000 to a total garage bill of under £3,000. The car Audi S8 V10 had a £2K service and then 2 months later I traded it in for an Audi S8 D4. insurance was due on the D4 based non claims bonus based on 50 years no claims was reduced because I was "At Fault" for the attempted theft. HOW? This is just unfair, inequitable. I have pulled our house insurance and today Aug 27th 2024 my wife's car insurance. It was on repeat renewal and Tesco had not advised me this was due except to say the could not take the money. HSBC had sent me a new card. When I asked to cancel the insurance which had expired 3 days before Tesco said "We hope you are aware that it is illegal to drive a car without insurance". I told them, the truth, that I had parked the car on our land (so off-road) and SORNED it before the insurance expired. They charged me £4.10 to cancel the policy in the cooling off period. You can tell I have not cooled off yet. This is not Tesco people this is Tesco Policy from accountants; don't support them. Reviewed on: 27th August 2024

Well managed and competitive.

Tesco Boxins insurance is a really well managed and competitive product that has not let me down. Their black box is not intrusive or annoying and I can actually see the reduction in my quote. They remain unbeaten on price for me and I look forward to continuing with them. Reviewed on: 25th August 2024

Happy with them

The prices seem fair and customer support staff have always been helpful. I decided to stay with them when I renewed my car insurance. Reviewed on: 24th August 2024
