getting too expensive

Way too expensive compared to last year and increasing every year. Reviewed on: 22nd November 2019

Newer car, lower CC but a lot more money

Currently a policy holder and was trying to change my car insurance from one car to another that I was hoping to buy. The car was newer and engine size was lower but I was told it'd cost double my current monthly payments. Yet, checking confused.com I could get the same insurance for a lot less with the same place... Tesco. So I rang them for information and they told me over the phone this was due to under writers and to cancel my policy so I could reapply for the better price would cost 85 cancellation. Absolutely disgusting! Another company who don't look after their current customers! Reviewed on: 20th November 2019

Worst insurance company ever.

Worst insurance company ever. STAY AWAY FROM THEM!! You buy insurance for your home just in case anything happens they will not pay but they are happy to take and keep your money. Reviewed on: 13th November 2019

never use them

3 months after the crash and still waiting. they have even written to me acknowledging I have a legitimate complaint and that they regret not meeting the required standard of service, but we still rung them every day and get prevarication, delay ans inaction. if i billed them for hours wasted it would double the payout due. Never Use Them. Reviewed on: 12th November 2019

Poor service and shocking attitude

I have a personal loan with them and despite all payments being made on time, my credit report has been attacked. After speaking to them they said "there is nothing they can do". Not sure how this is allowed. Sad stuff really. Reviewed on: 3rd November 2019

Whoever you insure with, do NOT use Tesco's!

Whoever you insure with, do NOT use Tesco Car insurance. I had a small accident in my car which was the fault of another driver. I had proof from witnesses and dash cam footage of the whole incident, yet Tesco admitted liability without even reviewing the evidence. The damage was not serious at all, easily repairable yet they quoted a £6000 repair bill. I had quotes from other official damage reapir garages that came in at just over £1000. They wrote my car off so I cancelled the claim, and all my accounts with Tesco. They registered my car as a write off because I did this. Absolutely worst experience of an insurer in 25 years driving experience. Reviewed on: 31st October 2019

Horrendous

I am so lost about what to do about my insurance. My policy is £168.42 a month. It was a set amount of mileage - through a black box. I was since made redundant and now travel 38miles to work, and then back everyday. More than my policy allows. This means I have to pay minimum £101, usually more a month to top up my mileage. I asked if I could change my policy. They said no. The only thing I can do is keep topping up every month or cancel for £468 Reviewed on: 30th September 2019
