Tesco Bank Car insurance reviews (527)

Damage repair still outstanding

1
It is now two weeks since I made my claim with Tesco Insurance, my car bumper was damaged when a van backed into it when parked outside my home. Details were exchanged and I made my claim with Tesco on 15th October. I was informed that their recommended body shop would be in touch to book it in for repair. Since then I have been constantly messed around by both the repair shop and Tesco, with the repair shop saying they have not received authorisation from Tesco, and Tesco saying they will look into it! I have phoned Tesco’s on most days trying to get this sorted but still my damaged car sits outside my home! Please do NOT EVER choose Tesco’s for your car insurance!! Reviewed on: 30th October 2022

Poor service rubbish

1
Gave the courtesy car after 15days its difficult to call them waiting the call to answer for more than 1hr and after you they answer your call they only said I WILL CALL YOU BACK but not they calling back on the next day you will call same scenario very stressful insurance and rubbish Reviewed on: 28th October 2022

Appalling Service

1
Involved in an accident over a month ago. I have continually chased and had to contact them. Appalling customer service. No customer support/care from them at all. Nearly 5 weeks and still no courtesy car or information on my car repairs! Do not recommend - steer clear! Reviewed on: 26th October 2022

Awful

1
Was involved in a hit and run. 9 days later I still have no courtesy car....! Nobody has called me to keep me updated on anything. I have had to chase everything myself. Communication is shocking. Would not recommend. Will be going with another insurer after this......! Reviewed on: 20th October 2022

Great customer services

5
I recently had to change my insurance a few times due to waiting for a new car. Customer services were so helpful and talked me through the process online so I didn’t incur a fee Reviewed on: 9th October 2022

Extremely Competitive

5
I used a comparison website and Tesco Insurance was the best for us and much cheaper than any our broker could offer. Like with our house insurance through Tesco, the website is easy to navigate and we are very satisfied with the service. Reviewed on: 6th October 2022

Unhelpful and additional hidden costs

2
With being a Tesco bank car insurance customer, I was hit with multiple hidden costs which I had to contact and go through multiple departments to get them removed Reviewed on: 26th September 2022

Awful, stressful and unprofessional

1
Impossible to arrange box for my grandson's car after I'd paid for the year. They admitted after hours of phone calls they were having problems with RTS fitting company but wouldn't cancel insurance. Deadlines missed to get box fitted, they assured me all would be well and it would happen Then I had email telling me insurance was being cancelled because box not fitted. Don't go near Tesco with a barge pole Reviewed on: 14th September 2022

Shit
