Review of the Tesco Bank, Car Insurance:

excellent,easy and no fuss

been with Tesco for a few years now as it was the cheapest by far and included breakdown cover.the process online is fast and easy and documents arrived in 3 days. Reviewed on: 26th March 2015

Would not recommend

Tried to charge me double the price of other companies on my renewal even though I was already with them and then claimed it was becuase I had an accident which never happened Reviewed on: 13th August 2022

Easy insurance

Loved how easy it was to set up my car insurance and great value for money! Reviewed on: 12th August 2022

Great

Great insurer, easy to use online hub Reviewed on: 10th August 2022

Unreasonable and Inept

Tesco Bank Box Insurance promotes “benefits in terms of black box for young drivers” but this is flawed and misconstrued. They find any excuse to delay or withdraw bookings to fit the black box in and then cancel the policy for me refusing to prosecute my wife which is a third party related offence. Don’t recommend to anyone. Reviewed on: 5th August 2022

Excellent from outset

After being involved in a no fault accident and then reading reviews here i literally wanted to jump off a very high bridge . But in reality the service level I've received is outstanding. They've kept me informed all the way even though i insisted on my own garage for repairs . Courtesy car provided next day and claim paid out in just 8 days with a price higher than i was expecting as car was written off . I honestly have received excellent customer service throughout and really helpful and sympathetic support from Tesco. Big well done to Tesco Car insurance. Reviewed on: 3rd August 2022

Merely a number

Merely a Number I have been insuring my Mazda Bongo through Tesco Car Insurance for a number of years. Not had a claim or any problems. This year they decided to not insure my vehicle. Make no mistake at all, to Tescos you are not a customer they show any loyalty to at all... Merely a number that they will throw a way. Shameful. Anyway I managed to renew through a different company and it was cheaper for exactly the same level of cover. Never really liked Tescos ethos anyway tbh Reviewed on: 23rd July 2022

Avoid avoid avoid

Avoid avoid avoid. Tesco Bank Box Insurance is an utter rip off. Young drivers should steer well clear of this car insurance policy. The prices are sky high and what they don't tell you is if you use all of you mileage allowance before the end of the first year and something happens like you lose your job or the car goes off the road, they will charge you for the remainder of the insurance. The customer service is utterly disgusting. Very nasty people to deal with. My car had to be taken off the road with a major engine problem. Coupled with the ridiculous insurance premiums, fuel price increases and having lost my job, I contact Tesco to tell them about my issue. They didn't care and just said if you cancel we want over £400. Reviewed on: 23rd July 2022

National windscreens really

Car windscreen cracks call Tesco only to be told I can only use National windscreen, who have only 3 sites in Scotland what's National about that so I now have to drive on a motorway for 23 miles to get this repaired and wait a week before they can do it. Shocking service, will not be renewing with them Reviewed on: 5th July 2022

Steer clear, no courtesy car offered for a month incompetent & unhelpful

Following my car accident, was promised multiple times a courtesy car would be made available, car wrote off, paid out but no assistance with any transport costs Reviewed on: 17th June 2022

Poor

I had a car accident,they left me with no car for 9 days after that they said we can't fix your car.they pay money but not enough to fix it. Reviewed on: 16th June 2022
