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

Great and quick service

Got a very good value car insurance super quick and friendly service Reviewed on: 6th July 2019

Great service whenever I needed help

Changed my name this year, and was helped through the process all the way by Tesco Bank. They also helped renew my insurance, get money off and update my wife's details too Reviewed on: 6th July 2019

Shoddy treatment for loyal customer

I’ve been with Tesco for 16 years and have only had need of their claims department twice in that time. The first time was when someone nearly wrote off my car; the second was when a van driver reversed into me without looking. The first time I claimed Tesco were fast and my opinion were very good and I was soon on the road within a month, so when the van driver reversed into me I was pretty confident in my insurance provider-WRONG. After two months of waiting, calling back to ask on the progress of my claim and sending emails that got ignored I was basically told I would have to stump the cost of the repair myself because it fell under my excess. Fair enough you might say, but I was told on the phone by the only competent and interested member of their team that they were going to hold the other party fully responsible for the damage to my car. I phoned up some weeks later and was told they were waiting on the other party to come to a compromise. The next time I phoned up about three weeks later I was told “They hadn’t hear from the third parties insurance company for weeks.” so what really was going on here? well one guess was I was getting very close to my renewal date and maybe Tesco wanted to keep me daggling on a hook because with a case still on going the company thought it was in its best interests to keep me in the dark so I would obediently renew because of the case. However like I told the young lady on the phone I’m not happy with Tesco giving me misinformation and as their premium for the next year is high I will no longer require their services. Her response was “sorry to hear you’re not happy” well folks after thousands of pounds spent on this company over the years I feel so much better hearing that. My advice is maybe Tesco are good when there is a large claim i.e. a write off when they see hundreds if not thousands can be gained from the other party, but loyalty isn’t their forte.

Excellent, staff discount, collect clubcard points too Reviewed on: 3rd July 2019

Amazing Customer service!

I needed to change my cover from personal to business, and the staff recommended i do it online to save admin fee. she also offered to assist me while patiently waited for my slow computer to load up. I ended up getting refund on changing my policy. Friendly/amazing customer service would recommend to anyone. Tesco online account is also easy to use and user friendly. Keep up the good work Jubeda.

Terrible Service

Went to pay for my insurance and then change my vehicle. They took my card payment then gave me a quote of over £500 for my Jeep Wrangler. I decided to cancel my policy and asked for my card payment to be cancelled. They couldn't do that and wanted to refund it to another card they had on file. After speaking to a manager they can now make a payment back to my card but it will take 7-10 days. Terrible service and very unhelpful staff. I will never use or recommend them again. Reviewed on: 21st June 2019

Complete waste of money, incompetent, appalling service.

Absolutely appalling service I wouldn't give one star to but not possible. This has got to be the worst insurance organisation ever created that has left me constantly surrounded by total incompetence. The car number plates were cloned. This car then had a ding. Short story, Police came round, examined car and interviewed me. They reported that it was a cloned car and nothing to do with me. Eventually Tescos said it wasnt me. lots of worry. NOW 3 years later, have found out they have left the file open and it may effect future insurance. Save yourself AVOID at all cost. May be cheap, but if something goes wrong and you are NOT to blame, they dont care Reviewed on: 7th June 2019

Tesco Boxins car insurance

Bought the Tesco Boxins car insurance for my daughter. Initially it was £1240 for a Ford Ka, After 7 months the Ford broke so we got her a Peugeot 206. This cost us another £470. After 9 and a half months Tesco Boxins cancelled her insurance as she wasn't achieving good enough scores on speeding. Every 500 top up miles she bought was £69.22 I reckon it has cost over £2000 for 9 months insurance and she didn't even get any no claims. Found her a new insurance for £1740 with no black box. Basically I wouldn't recommend this company to my worst enemy. This insurance can charge you what they want. The whole on line side of things is a joke and driving data is always at least a week behind. Rubbish, Rubbish, Rubbish Do not buy under any circumstance. You WILL regret it!! Reviewed on: 4th June 2019

Absolutely appalling service I wouldn't give one star to but not possible.

This has got to be the worst insurance organisation ever created that has left me constantly surrounded by total incompetence. This despite a no-fault accident several weeks ago in March resulting in my car been written off and me unable to get to work. The management running this organisation have successfully created a specialist mantra of "sod you and sort it yourself". What do I do to move things forward. Tesco? Reviewed on: 8th May 2019
