Review of the Tesco Bank, Car Insurance:

Consistently good

I am very happy with my car insurance from Tesco, who I have been with since I passed my test six years ago. Since then, they have consistently offered fair prices and have made me want to renew each year. Reviewed on: 24th December 2015

Avoid this company .

Joined tesco bank box 6 months ago now. Been very unhappy ever since. The customer service is shocking! The firstly called me numerous of times regarding my car being kept at a different address the whole month which is wasn’t. Then got more calls regarding miles. they charge an extortionate amount of money to add on more miles to the policy. each time i have called them i have never found them helpful. i wanted to raise a complaint to the complaint team and its took them 2 months to get back to me, also not answering anything i have been concerned with. also have tried to call them numerous of times asking to speak to someone regarding my policy and they have said someone will call me back and never have. For a first time young driver i would avoid at all costs. They sell you the dream insurance when taking one out with them. They also didn’t offer to let me pay monthly so wanted the money upfront.

Attempt to tow away my car., why was I at fault.

There was an unsuccessful attempt to tow away my car which resulted in damage to the front end. I believe the keys were cloned and the alarms turned off. I paid an excess of £1,000 to a total garage bill of under £3,000. The car Audi S8 V10 had a £2K service and then 2 months later I traded it in for an Audi S8 D4. insurance was due on the D4 based non claims bonus based on 50 years no claims was reduced because I was "At Fault" for the attempted theft. HOW? This is just unfair, inequitable. I have pulled our house insurance and today Aug 27th 2024 my wife's car insurance. It was on repeat renewal and Tesco had not advised me this was due except to say the could not take the money. HSBC had sent me a new card. When I asked to cancel the insurance which had expired 3 days before Tesco said "We hope you are aware that it is illegal to drive a car without insurance". I told them, the truth, that I had parked the car on our land (so off-road) and SORNED it before the insurance expired. They charged me £4.10 to cancel the policy in the cooling off period. You can tell I have not cooled off yet. This is not Tesco people this is Tesco Policy from accountants; don't support them. Reviewed on: 27th August 2024

Well managed and competitive.

Tesco Boxins insurance is a really well managed and competitive product that has not let me down. Their black box is not intrusive or annoying and I can actually see the reduction in my quote. They remain unbeaten on price for me and I look forward to continuing with them. Reviewed on: 25th August 2024

Happy with them

The prices seem fair and customer support staff have always been helpful. I decided to stay with them when I renewed my car insurance. Reviewed on: 24th August 2024

Took almost 2 years to resolve a car accident which was frustrating. I would have liked more regular updates too. Submission of the car accident though was easy and customer service was excellent. Reviewed on: 23rd August 2024

Easily changed over our car reg.

Easily changed over our car reg. very polite staff and phone manner. They are also very good at keeping you up to date with renewal which you don’t always get with insurance. Reviewed on: 23rd August 2024

Breakdown

I recently broke down. As annoying as it was, the assistance I got was great and I was recovered relatively quickly. Reviewed on: 23rd August 2024
