Review of the Tesco Bank, Car Insurance:

AVOID AT ALL COSTS!

1
AVOID AT ALL COSTS!!! Wouldn’t waste your time or money I was paying £220 a month for insurance on my Range Rover evoque that was stolen without keys I reported this to Tesco 3 weeks ago now and still haven’t been offered a settlement figure even though the vehicle was found I’ve had phone calls from copart asking if I have the key to the vehicle the same key Tesco have already made me post back to them! No settlement figure yet my cars already in a salvage auction! Leaving me to feel as though Tesco have currently stolen my car and all the money I paid for it! I also payed extra on top of this for a like for like curtesy car at the point of reporting the claim I wasn’t even offered a curtesy car the next day I had to ring Tesco again only to find out they’d not put all the details through so I still couldn’t have a curtesy car I had to argue with Tesco and there curtesy car company for 2 days to have a curtesy car brought out twice they promised me it would be there on that same day and wasn’t and even when I finally managed to get one brought out they told me they was unable to honour the like for like I paid extra for TESCO USE A FRAUD INVESTIGATION TEAM CALLED ROBERTSON & CO THIS COMPANIES ONLINE REVIEWS SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES CHECK THE COMPANY ROBERTSON & CO OUT FOR YOURSELF FIRST! Tesco have claimed they can’t do anymore for me until the Robertson and co report comes though this company in question have strung me along for 3 weeks claiming every single day my report will be reviewed regularly being rude to me down the phone or putting the phone down! MY VEHICLE WAS BOUGHT IN CASH AS MANY ARE IVE ALREADY PROVIDED THEM A WRITTEN INVOICE THE SELLER GAVE ME! This money came from me and my partner selling my Audi A1 and his Ford focus WE NEEDED A BIGGER CAR DUE TO BEING A FEW WEEKS OFF HAVING A NEW BABY this company in question are demanding I provide them bank statements for these cash/Facebook marketplace sales clearly this is not possible when they were private cash sales THIS COMPANY ARE MAKING US FEEL AS IF THERE MAIN PURPOSE IS TO PREVENT ANY PAY OUT FOR THE THEFT OF OUR VEHICLE TESCO HAD ALREADY TRIED TO FORCE ME TO TAKE THE VEHICLE BACK THE SAME WEEK IT WAS STOLEN! SO IS THIS JUST ANOTHER WAY FOR THEM TO AVOID PAYING YOU OUT! Me and my partner both have severe mental health issues and these have massively deteriorated since this incident and claim we also have two children one of them being severely autistic my poor daughter was petrified of having that car back after knowing someone had stolen it she felt unsafe and in danger she also needs structure with her being autistic the lack of curtesy car prevented her from being able to attend school our baby was also due jabs at the doctors Tesco did not care one bit about this WE HAVE NOW BEEN FORCED AND LEFT WITH NO OTHER OPTION BUT TO ASK TO CANCEL THE CLAIM AND HAVE OUR VEHICLE BACK BECAUSE BOTH COMPANIES HAVE NO INTEREST IN DEALING WITH US APPROPRIATELY OR OFFERING US A SETTLEMENT THE AMOUNT OF PAIN WORRY AND STRESS THESE COMPANIES HAVE CAUSED ARE GENUINELY NOT WORTH IT PLEASE AVOID SAVE YOURSELF ANY HASSLE Reviewed on: 19th December 2024

Keeping it simple

I used to spend hours checking out car insurance when mine was due for renewal every year. That was until I switched to Tesco Bank Car Insurance. My premium has hardly changed over the last 4 years and I still receive the same benefits. The customer service is top notch and any changes can be made online, therefore not costing the usual admin fees. All in all, a great service. Reviewed on: 10th July 2020

Well done!

I recently had a claim for no fault of mine, and the advisors were brilliant, from start to finish. They guided me right through the process, keeping me updated via a text message and making sure everything was in order. I would highly recommend it. Reviewed on: 2nd July 2020

Worst service. Do not use

1
Absolutely awful service from start to finish. Tried to make me claim twice and pay 2 excesses after the boot lock was damaged due to glass after someone smashed my back windscreen. Couldn't get through on the phone on a Sunday as they are closed and then no one calls you back. Two advisors were very apologetic and friendly but the 3rd was absolutely useless, uninterested and a waste of time. Will not be renewing with them and won't be renewing my house and pet insurance and mobile contract with them either. Reviewed on: 19th June 2020

They put you in false claim without letting you know

Very very bad experience They paid false claim on behalf of you without letting you know.even if you provide all evidence all claim staff are sleeping and drunk on work STAY AWAY Reviewed on: 18th June 2020

I have had tesco car insurance for 3 years now and every year they provide with a reason to stay with them as a customer. Mainly the cost is brilliant compared to others and they offer fab customer service. Reviewed on: 27th April 2020

Renewed car insurance without telling me. DO NOT USE!!

Tescobank have auto renwed my car insurance without even telling me in advance. I arranged other insurance as I do every year. They have taken over £400 from my account which takes me over my credit limit and I will now incur bank charges. I see many others have experienced this, DISGUSTING! Reviewed on: 7th February 2020

I had an accident last night unfortunately writing my car off and damaging another car. From my first call 20 mins after the accident to my call the next morning to the Total Loss customer service team first rate service. Would highly recommend to my family and friends.
