Tesco Bank Car insurance reviews (543)

Straightforward, quick experience

Had an accident where someone hopped a red light and crashed into the back of my car. Explained the situation to the helpful and friendly Geordie lady down the phone, who was thorough in her details and made sure she had everything down. Later that day I already had a hire car and my car was picked up the following day, repaired by the body shop and returned within the week. Got a text a couple of weeks later saying the claim was all sorted and closed. The person had admitted fault so there was no contest, but still a pleasant and easy experience.

Cheapest but poor service

My car insurance was cheapest compared to other providers HOWEVER after the first year renewal price DOUBLED for no reason (no claims or changes). BEWARE and make sure you cancel before it expires and find another company to insurance. Customer service was disgusting, they cancelled my insurance because they lost all the correct documentation I sent to them twice, citing I never sent them. This could had been resolved and I tried contacting them several times but said they couldn’t access my details on each occasion and “someone”would phone me back. They didn’t. Then cancelled insurance due to lack of documentation proof. This is the worst company I ve ever had to deal with but the quote was the cheapest. Had I known what I know now I wouldn’t have used them. It’s better to pay an extra £100 with another company than the distress of dealing with them. Reviewed on: 25th November 2020

Great customer services competitive price

I have been a Tesco car insurance customer for the last 5 years, call centre is open 7 days a week, on my renewal I always shop around but always get a cheaper quote with Tesco again and they happily price match their online price, can’t fault them, had one accident another driver drove into the back of my car, was given a courtesy car while my car was in for repair, solicitor recommended by tesco were great, Will highly recommend Reviewed on: 19th September 2020

Mockery

Tesco bank started off OK, but since I've been with them my policy has done nothing but go up even though I have no claims each year and they keep giving different excuses why this is so, I've never had an insurance company for my policy like it and their staff do not care that I have said its enough and that I'm leaving in December, do not recommend at all! Reviewed on: 2nd September 2020

poor communication and threatening letters

I had insurance for my car with tesco for a year. The following year the price went up and I found a better deal with someone else. I thought it would change without me telling tesco, and when they asked for money I ignored them. I got letters and I rang them and we agreed that I had gone with someone else. Then I got a letter threatening debt collecting and saying I would not get credit anywhere. I rang them and explained and a very nice man took me though cancelling on line. I had to upload the contract with the other company. He said that would be the end of it. But another threatening letter came saying I had to pay for the weeks up till now with threat of debt collection. I really don't know why they behave like this. and it's hard for an older person like me when the demands mount up Reviewed on: 26th August 2020

Great service

Spoke to Kim about my sons insurance needs and she went above and beyond with the help provided would definitely recommend Reviewed on: 20th August 2020
